Having visited The Square @ Novotel Clarke Quay for Christmas Dinner and Indonesian Food Festival, I was psyched to be back for Chinese New Year Buffet Dinner.  The restaurant was decorated in a festive mode for the upcoming Chinese New Year, with plum blossom flowers, red banners etc, and this jolted my festive mood even as I stepped in.

 A walk around the restaurant would unravel the various delectable international cuisines being served up on hot trays or pots. The Chilli Crab needs no introduction.- robust flavour tinged with spiciness and powdery, tender flesh.

 Now the Stars of the Night - traditional Chinese New Year dishes such as the Mushroom with Sea Cucumber, braised to a lovely tenderness and redolent of the shitake mushroom's strong earthly aroma.

 The Yusheng (raw fish with tossed vegetables) was displayed at a counter of its own, looking prim but pretty for the taking. It would be an interesting way of eating Yusheng, buffet style. The Sashimi Fish used was a "distant-cousin of the Tilapia", freshly-prepared and also the sashimi of the night under the seafood section. The vegetables and dressing were extremely sweet and fresh, making for a tantalising plate of Yusheng.

 Or how about the Cooked Salad / Asian Salad section? There were interesting fusion dishes such as Asian Angel Hair Pasta Salad - springy (QQ) pasta that was very delicious; I had second helpings of this.

There was a huge variety of items ranging from the salads and seafood to local delights such as char kuey teow, chilli crab, laksa, mee siam etc. Then there were the delectable desserts and for this period, some festive items like turkey, roast lamb, log cakes etc. It was a lovely sight to see all these .

 The Canadian oysters were fresh and juicy - lovely delicacies at all times, especially when paired with Tabasco sauce and lemon squeezes.

 Next, the Cheese Chicken Risotto - redolent of delicious cheese flavor and cooked with very tender chicken meat. The hotel manager prepared another bowl specially for me later - with dashes of white wine into the risotto - everyone who tried it agreed that the flavor was doubly enhanced because the white wine brought out the natural flavor of the cheese and chicken further.

 Then the Chilli Crab were being served. As it was Indonesian-style preparation, the gravy was very spicy, but complemented the sweetness of the crab really well. We were tempted to ask for some rolls to dip into the gravy but we were very stuffed at this point in time.

 The Durian Penget was the other item that was very strongly recommended - a durian cream dream for durian lovers. It was sticky, rich and thick with durian's fragrance, butter smooth except for bits of real durian flesh mixed into it
