Internation Family Buffet - IFB

How did you spend your labour day holiday? We had a great time shopping as a family. We bought Izzul 2 new toys. It's really adorable. It's really affordable.. I got them for $17.90 at Takashimaya. There were so many toys there that we could not decide what to get for him. Since Izzul will be playing with them, we let him choose. Izzul is very expressive so it is quite easy to tell if he is fascinated with something. We pulled out a toy train - Nothing. He glanced and look at the other toys surrounding him. We pulled out a bouncy penguin and his reaction was adorable - His eyes became large and he started to kick and flap his arms.. like a penguin..heheh.. So we got the penguin and the rabbit.. We got the rabbit because as adults, we were quite amused by it. We are sure Izzul will grow to like it :)
After tired from shopping, we were ready to pounce on the buffet table at International Family BUffet. Have you been there yet? Well, if you ask me, if you have been to Sakura Buffet and Carousel, then this is no different. Sakura has a wider range of food to pick from although IFB has slightly more cold dish to serve. Carousel have a head start from here.Desert? Nothing beats Carousels deserts. Next - service... well, they need to learn A LOT from their competitors. My dad wanted to get tea but he doesn't fancy the flavoured kinds so I was asking the waiter if there were any the original flavoured teas. What did I get? - shake of the head and point at the tea counter. He looks like he is not from around here. SO ok, maybe he didn't understand me. I tried again asking a local looking waitress - even before I could finish my sentence, she said, pointing towards the tea counter," That's all we have." Yeah right. We paid $30 over dollars to get "that's all we have" I was so pissed. It was a simple enquiry and yet it couldn't be addressed well. So Ros, you can strike this one out.

Anyway, my lovely hubby had accidentally deleted all the pics and a video of this day event.. no worries, I will try to get them from my back-up photographer - Mirul! Kiki, when your exams are over, can you send over the pics?
