The cheese section rounds off the first counter with Edam Cheese, St Maure Goat Cheese, Fruit Cheese, English Cheddar, bread sticks, dried apricots, walnuts, and Macadamia nuts. The Fruit Cheese is a good choice for those trying cheese for the first with its sweet and fruity taste.
For the side counter by the window, it starts with coffee and tea section. Expensive TWG English Tea is served here.
Next is the salad section, with a metal bowl for those who prefer a DIY version.
Next is the bread section. The cranberry bun is soft and slightly sweet with bites of cranberry spread all over.
Next is the Apple Crumble in an oven to keep warm. The apple crumbles are housed in little red tin pots. So cute. Served with a vanilla sauce. Tastes soft and flavourful.
Lastly is the Popcorn, which I am surprised to find in a buffet. It tastes light and not too sweet.
The next counter starts with the Roast Meat section, where Roasted Duck, Roasted Chicken, and Roasted Pork are served with sweet plum sauce, chilli sauce, garlic sauce and dark soya sauce.
Next is the Noodle of the Day section, which turns out to be Mee Rebus. Thick and not too sweet.

Next is the western food sections, where pizza, deep fried sotong, Cod Fish, Duck with Fig, Broccoli in Cream Sauce, Rosti with sour Cream are served.Next is the chinese food sections, where fried rice, fried hokkien mee, braised seas cucumber with chinese mushrooms, braised beef are served.
This is followed by the Malay food and Indian food sections, where there is an assorted of curries.
Lastly is the Dessert section at the side counter.
The first section is the mini dessert served on display shelf. There are Chocolate Sacha, Opera, Durian Choux Puff, Oreo Cheesecake, Chocolate Banana Mousse, Sour Cherry & Yuzu jelly, Coffee Eclair, Meringue Tart, Coffee Jivava Mousse, Mango Minov, Breton Strawberry Tart, and Creme Brulee.
For local dessert, there is Durian Pengat, Barley with ginkgo nut, and Black glutinous rice. The Durian Pengat smells great from far and tastes thick and creamy.
For those who like fruit, there is Watermelon, Rockmelon, Honey Dew, and Pineapple.
Next section is the Chocolate Fondue, which comes with assorted dippables.
The last section has Kueh Lapis Surabay, Blueberry Muffin and Praline.Overall the food is great. Although the spread looks limited, but I am too full to try all. Service is swift. The place is not crowded. Guess it is still new and a lot of people still do not know about it. Total bill for 3 adults is $90.05 after discount.
