I've always enjoyed à la carte buffets, because you can simply plant your butt down comfortably and order like a king because there is no limit (except for the space in your stomach).
At Shin Minori, it costs $29++ for a lunch buffet, and $33++ for dinner, which I thought was extremely reasonable considering the kind of choices and quality you get.
If you're a
sashimi lover, this platter alone already makes 70% of your buffet money worth. Tuna, salmon, yellow tail, snapper, swordfish, octopus, cuttlefish - they were all very fresh!
Because "Shin Minori" means "new harvest" in Japanese, every month, there'll be a 'Harvest Nite' promotion where special items would be served on specific nights in addition to the buffet.
For the month of October, we had the 'Trio of Seafood'. I like how it tasted as good as it looks.
Not bad, but the tenderness of the beef could be improved on.
Crispy fried chicken with a dash of wasabi goodness, bold yet not overpowering.
Grilled chicken skewers and meat balls, homemade Japanese fish cakes, Shiitake, and leek. My personal favourite was the chicken meat balls.
I'm not a fan of chicken organs, or in fact, any food made from the insides of animals EXCEPT for
Foie Gras. I nibbled a bit of the chicken heart and gizzard and I was done.
Cold spaghetti with cod roe, interesting!
Special thanks to Street Directory and Angeline for the great lunch and wonderful hospitality!
