Welcome to West, Singapore. Looking for Buffet places?

We started off with Braised Shark’s Fin with Fish Maw, which was limited to one serving per person. The soup was quite starchy and flavourful, with crunchy shark fin, giving off those classic wedding banquet vibes

Stir-fried ‘Ee-fu’ Noodles was another dish that brought back wedding banquet memories. Slurpy noodles with straw mushrooms in a savoury sauce—it was a heavy carb dish that will fill you up, no doubt.

After a long wait, we got the Steamed Red Tilapia with Minced Garlic. This dish was worth it! The fish was fresh, tender, and soft, yet firm enough to pick up with chopsticks. The clear soy sauce added a savoury kick, and the minced garlic on top jin tokong.

The highlight for me was the Braised Pork Trotter with Vinegar, which was actually the reason we chose this particular TungLok Seafood branch. The pork knuckles were big and fatty, braised in a sweet, savoury, tangy vinegar sauce with a nice hint of ginger. The knuckle was good, but could’ve been softer and gooier. The vinegary sauce was awesome, although I would’ve preferred it thicker and more sinful. Still, always a fan of a good vinegar pork trotter.

So, my friend jio-ed me for a buffet again, and of course, I steady lah. Even though deep down I was feeling lazy to go out, but for food, I will always make the effort. XD

We started off with Braised Shark’s Fin with Fish Maw, which was limited to one serving per person. The soup was quite starchy and flavourful, with crunchy shark fin, giving off those classic wedding banquet vibes. Then, I went straight for a plate of Salmon Sashimi like no tomorrow. To my surprise, the quality was solid—chilled, tender, and really fresh. After that, we moved on to more standard items like crispy fish skin with salted egg yolk, smoked duck, prawn paste chicken, and herbal prawns. Pretty average, but satisfying lah.

Next, we tried the dim sum selection: classics like har gao, siew mai, char siew buns, and others. Honestly, the dim sum was just okay. I’d recommend skipping it because it didn’t feel worth the stomach space—kind of subpar.

For desserts, we had Chilled Herbal Jelly with Honey, Chilled Lemongrass ‘Ai Yu’ Jelly, and Chilled Mango Cream with Pomelo and Sago. The herbal jelly was the best—sweet and cooling. The Ai Yu jelly had a soft lemongrass fragrance and was light and easy to eat. The Mango Cream was a bit watery, but surprisingly, the flavour was there even though the pomelo taste was quite muted.

Just a heads-up, you need a minimum of 2 pax to enjoy the buffet.

Operating this restaurant is a Korean family that do give very homely service, and I must say their food is really homely tasting too!

Don't be surprised to come in the restaurant without a menu, as the family decides on the menu for you. Their lunch set ($17.90 but varies) comes with about 9 side dishes with soup and rice and all of them were pretty delicious! Don't expect their food to be incredibly flavourful, as they were not oily nor too salty, making them taste like home cooked food.

Fruits and waffles were also served after the meal and I was so surprised to know that their waffles were mochi waffles! Really satisfying with the crispy exterior and chewy interior. Definitely recommended to those who are around the area!
