I went buffet town with a group of friends to celebrate one of my friend's birthday at Raffles City(near City Hall MRT)! Decided to try out buffet town because of the affordable price and the wide array of food choice available! I paid $29 odd bucks for this meal because I went during lunch on a weekday.This is the buffet charges if you go on any other daysBuffetLunch (Mon-Fri): Adult $23.80++; Child $16.80++Lunch (Sat-Sun, Eve of and PH): Adult $28.80++; Child $16.80++Dinner (Mon-Thu): Adult $3

In case if anyone hasn't seen it before, this is how the entrance looks like.
There are plenty of seats available and when I first stepped into the restaurant, I couldn't wait to try out the food because they look delicious! I tried out my favorite sashimi and sushis first! They replenish the food pretty quickly and the food was quite fresh. However the variety available was quite limited. 6 types of sushis were available and for sashimi, they only served salmon and tuna.
Next, the hot food section had quite a good spread. It ranged from grilled food to deep fried food and curry.
Drinks was free-flow. They had peach tea, green tea, blackcurrent, lime juice etc, coke and all the other soft drinks etc. What was disapointing was that given the wide array of drinks available, they did not serve my favorite drink Sjora. Nonetheless, for non soft drinks lover, you would be delighted that they have a mini counter to cater to your likings! They have coffee, tea etc..( like those that you find in singapore's local coffee shop)I can't emphasise how much I like the pizza! They had seafood, meatlover and cheese flavours! The portion of the meat, seafood and cheese was very generous. It was comparable to pizza hut's standard and I really like the pizzas they'd served! They also served ham, sliced jumbo hotdogs, chicken wings, fries(the usual fried food variety), potato etc. Though the dishes are pretty common, but it was quite delicious Standard is there!(Y)
For people who like local food, they serve Rojak and local hainanese Chicken Rice too!
They had a salad bar as well as a whole row of grilled food available for those who like them! The grilled corn, chicken wings and satay was quite nice. What was disappointing was the spread of the seafood available because they'd only serve prawns and oysters. However, considering the fact that I'd only paid $29.80, the buffet pricing was considered a steal already!
However, the dessert of buffet town needs a lot of improvement. It doesn't look tasty and a lot of it were just sponge cakes with cream on it. They served pancakes and waffles which was quite delicious compared to the one where I tried at kiseki buffet restaurant The icecream variety was limited to 4 types of flavour and they are a few types of toppings available(the usual - rainbow sprinkles, chocolate bites etc..). They had sauces available too! The maple syrup, chocolate, strawberry sauces! For those who like local dessert, they serve cheng teng and grass jelly too!
What I would like to emphasise about this restaurant is that the staffs are really friendly! When we were celebrating our friend's birthday, the staff came over to wish my friend happy birthday and they were really efficient in clearing the plates. The front desk counter staff needs to improve though. I had 4 people queuing ahead of me but I'd waited for 15 odd minutes despite plenty of seats available in the restaurant.
I had heard pretty bad remarks about buffet town before. However, I beg to differ. Overall I would say that for the spread, environment, cleanliness and pricing, I would patronise buffet town again! D
