Went for This restaurant Ala Carte Lunch Buffet after seeing the recommendation from Channel 5 Buffetlicious Show.

The buffet features 40 variety of dishes, of which 12 dishes are served only once while the rest are unlimited. Main ingredients used are seafood though there is also chicken, duck and beef dishes as well as 5 types of dim sum. Desserts range is quite limited though. Per pax is about $24++. Chinese tea is charged additional $2/pax. Timing of buffet from 11am - 2.30pm. Last order is around 1.45pm. It's a seated buffet whereby you ordered from the menu and they'll prepare according, unlike the usual buffet style.

We, a party of 6, had the buffet lunch on a Saturday from 11am - 2pm. Total bill is approx. $170.35. After offsetting the $80 voucher + 10% discount, final bill is $90.35.
There is slight changes in the August 2010 buffet menu from that of the Sep ~ Jan 2011 menu (ie. those marked "New" are the changes).

Had a sumptuous dinner to celebrate Standard Chartered Post Marathon at The Seafood International. We had lobster sashimi on ice, curry crab (instead of chilli crab) with garlic bread. Lobster sashimi was crunchy and very fresh.

Loved the garlic bread the most because the garlic spread used was just right - buttery & the garlic taste is not too overpowering. Crispy yet not hard even though it was spread on toasted sliced french loaf.
