The story of "Too Full"

We were here - at Sizzler.

I just wanted to eat the stuff from the salad bar, which had quite a good spread already.

The SO, who must have something more substantial, ordered a main course - some Swiss styled chicken.

You can say, the man wanted to have his chicken and eat his salads too.

In addition, we were given some garlic/buttered toast to stuff ourselves, but it was way too salty, and one bite was all we could take.

Photobucket

I ate my salads, but SO insisted on sharing some of his chicken with me.

BTW, the Thai prawn & cashew nut salad (below) was superb! Too bad they didn't have tom yam soup that night.

This plate looks a bit dirty coz I re-used it (once).

We had several rounds of the salad buffet. As if all that wasn't enough, the SO can still stuff himself with the pasta, plus the Chinese fried maggie noodles and the creamy mushroom soup - all the heavy stuff.

Near the end, this was the dessert I had, with no room left for a taste of soft-serve ice-cream (actually, I forgot also).

Photobucket

And the SO was reduced to this.

Photobucket
Because he was, in his own words, TOO FULL !!

So, far from trying to save for a rainy day or prepare for rising food costs, it was because he ate too much!

Afterwards, we decided to walk home (to burn the excess calories consumed), which we did briskly, in about 50 minutes... Heheh! The walk didn't kill us, but the humid weather probably could if the walk was any longer. :P

50 mins walk back home, you guys really burnt it off.
The swiss styled chicken's plate is very colorful.
The best strategy in buffet is to try each in small portions.

50 mins walk? where is the Sizzler? is it at Bishan? (there used to be one)

Actually, the walk couldn't possibly have burnt off much, considering how much calories we'd consumed!

Sizzler is at Suntec basement 1, and Toa Payoh, above KFC (used to be dunno which restaurant). Oh yeah, you've reminded me Bishan used to have one, a nong nong time ago... now taken over by Crystal Jade.

Actually, I still prefer Ponderosa (now no more liao), which has hot salads like Brussel sprouts and boiled new potatoes, and mashed potatoes with gravy. *drools*
