Goodwood Park - Porridge Buffet at Coffee Lounge

Pat, Rose and her kids

I met Rose and Lloyd 5 years ago on our trip to Russia. They are a delightful couple to know. Lloyd is an expert in history, hence when one needed clarification on the history of Russia, we will find him. It was nice to meet up them on 13 August 2011, a Saturday evening. Also fun seeing their adorable 2 kids - Luc and Rowan.



Rose tried to make dinner reservations. We were suprised most of the restaurants in town were fully booked. Thankfully there were places at Coffee Lunge at Goodwood Park Hotel. We had the Porridge buffet which is available from 12pm-2.30pm (lunch) and 6pm-10.30pm (dinner).



The Coffee Lounge has been serving Taiwan porridge since it opened in 1984. It offers, for both lunch and dinner, porridge a la carte buffet ($38) with unlimited servings of over 20 items including appetisers and hot dishes.


These are some of the dishes that we had :

Cripsy Chicken



Chye Poh Omelette - nicely done

Mui Choy

Pork Cutlet

When it comes to comfort food, a bowl of porridge accompanied by the simpliest dishes like fish, beans, and omelette can be the most simple and satisfying dish. The buffet spread was a great way to sample the different dishes and to catch up with friends.

The kids could also run around and be with themselves under the adults' supervision.

Steamed Sea Bass with Crispy Bean Paste - Love this dish

Limited to only 1 dish per table. Else we would have ordered a second helping.

Beancurd in Japanese soya sauce & pork floss

My other favourite dish from the buffet spread. The beancurd is smooth and the pork floss heightens the taste of the dish.

Chicken with Beancurd

Fresh Prawns

Second order of the beancurd dish - delicious

Beef with Black Pepper

Stir fried vegetables

Check out the decadent spread of desserts - apple crumble, cakes and an array of pastries

Movenpick Ice-cream

Fruits
