    Decided on this high tea for a staff makan session as they were having a 1-4-1 with UOB (max of 2 free) or 2 1 with ANZ - both for high tea 3-5pm from Mondays to Thursdays. For the 7 of us, the 2 promos ende dup being the same - $229 for 7pax in total.

    I visited this place once before they renovated and was not impressed so it was time to give them a chance. As it turned out, my post-reno experience is much better.

    The cafe was really crowded when we went on a Tuesday afternoon at 3pm. Everyone dont need to work?!

    Cold dishes - quite a nice variety of cold stuff: fresh prawns on ice (really fresh!), assorted sushi, DIY salad, smoked salmon. Rather tasty.

    Breads - about 4-5 selection but I didnt try any. Who eats breads at buffets?

    Hot dishes - Indian curries and pratas, assorted dim sum, chinese stir fries, baked goods like scones, pizzas, and popiahs. A nice mix of cuisines I must say.

    Cooking stations - DIY where you pick and take your own ingredients like veg, bean sprouts, fish cakes take your own noodle type pass to the chef to blanch. When done, just choose the soup base you want from Ba Kut Teh, Prawn noodle, Mee siam, and laksa. Not too bad and very comforting.

    Desserts - More local desserts like tao suan, kuehs, and mini cakes. Ice cream is available but flavours were boring. There's also a DIY ice kachang station too.

    The buffet includes coffee and tea too.

    Service was nothing to complain about, with very efficient fervently staff clearing plates at the beginning, but I guess they ran out of steam towards the end.

    Still a nice meal in a nice environment nonetheless but I wouldnt come back if there aren't any promo.

      We went on a Friday night for a ex-colleagues get-together.

      Food wise, it wasn't much of a good spread as what we were expecting. Other than the prawns, baby lobster, oyster, dessert, the rest looks non-impressive. It seems more like a normal buffet spread, with more Asian than International. There wasn't even satay which we heard they should have.

      Even the asian food, it's not impressing. I only saw roast duck once during the 1 hr I was there, while most of the others look just normal home cooked food. For Jap, there was salmon (smoked & raw) and a little bit of sushi. But no cold noodles or anything more.

      To me, their impressive part was having live prawns in a tank, in front of one of the serving counter. And that, was for the drunken prawns with herbal soup. But it doesn't seem to be attracting a long queue, either for its cruelty or because it doesn't suit the patrons who went for a "Friday night buffet at Orchard Rd hotel".

      On the drinks, I didn't really get it at first, as my group only took juice. But it seems that can drinks and beer/wine is also included in the buffet menu, as they are placed at a corner where I didn't see them.

      On the dessert, there was ice cream (or was it sorbet) which I was too full and didn't try. But the cakes / dessert was not bad, where I tried one with alcohol in it. They also had almond jelly and qian cao jelly.

      At the end, there was a little confusion, as the staff didn't count our attendance at the start and hence we had a little dispute over how many "heads" / "chairs" we had. As we had a big gang (near to 30) and we came at several batches (nearly 1 to 2 hour between the first and the last), the staff wanted to count the number of chairs in our area and assume that to be the number of persons in our group. Although in the end they did take our count and didn't charge us exact heads.
