I saw the advertisement on Buffet Town in the newspaper about its opening and so I had this place kept in mind. Then I saw the recommendation on the TV and I thought it was a place worth a try. Thus, I went there in high hope and we reached there about 2pm and was told that the last ordered is at 2.45pm. Still, we went in since we were already there. After having the buffet, I would say 45 minutes is all you need. There's not much a spread actually, I can still clearly remember what they served
After having the buffet, I would say 45 minutes is all you need. There's not much a spread actually, I can still clearly remember what they served here at Buffet Town. Basically their concept is still quite similar to the Shokudo Japanese Food Bazaar which was replaced by Buffet Town. There are Sushi Station , Fresh Seafood & Rojah Station, Pasta Station, Western Station, Teppanyaki Station, Hot Food Selection Station, Drinks Station, Local Delight Station and Dessert Station. I didn't take pictures of the stations as by then most of the stations were quite empty.
Sushi Station:
I will rate the sushi 3/5. It is dominated by salmon - it is salmon sushi and sashimi. I didn't really see the crab meat or some other sushi on display. I guess there were but just that at that timing we were left with salmon - the only choice. Right beside the sushi, there's this salad bar but not that appealing.Fresh Seafood & Rojah Station:
Not at all fresh... the crayfish especially - meat was so soggy, I was trying to fork out the meat and it didn't come out in a piece and instead broke to pieces of meat. The oyster and prawns were okay.
I didn't really taste the Rojah as it is not appealing.
Pasta Station:
You can customize your own pasta ingredients with crab stick, onion, tuna, corn, mushroom., squid and prawn. And of course you can choose your sauce and pasta as well. But the taste is definitely not that great. I will rate it a 2/5 for the pasta.In front of the pasta station, there's mushroom soup. The soup is clear but with too much milk and not much of the mushroom taste. It is a 2/5 as well.
Western Station:
There's pork chop, chicken, fish, curry rice, chicken stew and some other dishes. Oh oh oh and there's PIZZA! Sound exciting? But no, one bite and I was done with the pizza. The pizza is a 2/5 as well.
Teppanyaki Station:
You know one key thing about Teppanyaki is that it has to be fried on the spot and serve it sizzling hot with the nice aroma filling up the air. But the Teppanyaki here, no aroma, not sizzling hot. The taste was alright thanks to the Teriyaki sauce. 3/5
Right in front of the Teppanyaki Station, there's some hot food like carrot cake, bee hoon, satay and etc. 3/5Hot Food Selection Station:
It is the same few dishes you expect from catering services.
Didn't try.
Drinks Station:
There's all sort of drinks here with gas without and the hot selection of drinks. I felt that the carbonated drink is too gassy and in fact overly gassy than the usual taste of the coke. The soya drink is the perfect choice!
Local Delight Station:
Here, they serve chicken rice, laksa, winter melon soup and tempura.
At least the chicken rice here is one that you can look out for, quite decent. The winter melon soup however is not one that you will fall in love with, just lack of a little punch.Dessert Station:
There's the only station that is worth coming for.
The sweet treats here is delish especially the cakes! The cake here can be compare to cafes cake or even some hotels cake. The waffle with their home made ice cream is not disappointing.Services here is good, they are quite polite and very helpful.
This is the buffet that you won't return to after the first visit. I rather top up a little to the $33.90 and have my buffet some where. If this is the dessert buffet, I definitely will come back.
