On a whim, we went to Sakura restaurant for dinner on X'mas day. It came to almost $30 per head, including 7% GST, which was slightly more than the usual price.
I noted the food was a bit different from the usual too, since it was X'mas, but of course, the usual favourite Japanese items like sashimi, sushi, etc. were all there. What was new among the appetisers were the pink prawn sashimi, the smoked salmon appetiser with some mango mayo sauce and smoked duck breast with orange mayo sauce. The hot items too, had some new items, including steamed prawn with garlic & butter*, yam ring, etc. (I can't remember coz my interest at buffets is always on the appetisers).

In addition, there was roast turkey with stuffing*, honey baked chicken ham* and X'mas log cakes. Both the turkey and chicken ham were so-so. I'm not a dessert person, but I did like the green tea (minty) cake and chocolate log cake.
The bonus was when the chef brought out the scallop sashimi after the pink prawn sashimi ran out. That was like "Wow!" coz it's the very first time I've seen scallop sashimi at Sakura after all these years. We were lucky to have spotted it as we were seated just beside the sashimi platter...heehee! While it wasn't fantastic, it wasn't too bad either, so overall, it was a nice and rather satisfying dinner.
