My colleague and I went to the restaurant "Greenhouse" because they had a 1-for-1 weekday lunch promotion. We were led to a table near the window which was overlooking the beautiful lush greenery outside. The cushioned seat was comfortable and the round table was sufficiently big for the two of us.Here's an overview of the buffet spread: - Salad Bar- Cold cut section- Warm food- Soup section- Bread & Cheese section- Roast section- Ice-cream sectionThe choices available for beverages were limited
Here's an overview of the buffet spread:
- Salad Bar
- Cold cut section
- Warm food
- Soup section
- Bread & Cheese section
- Roast section
- Ice-cream section
The choices available for beverages were limited to ice water, hot coffee and tea, which will be ordered and served through the waiters.
The sashimi was pretty fresh so I had two plates of it.
However the cooked food was ordinary with regards to the variety and I wasn't that impressed. There were steamed fish, indian curry with naan, teriyaki chicken pieces and vegetables, just to name a few.
For the roast section, the chef sliced some roast duck and pork off for me on the spot. The roast duck was sweet and tender while the roast pork went well with the sauce.
The cold crabs were put out only after all the guests had their fill. I would presume it's the restaurant's strategy to not let the guests take too much of them. Since my stomach still had some space after tasting a bit of everything, I decided to try the cold crabs. When I was about to start eating, I saw a strand of hair entangled in my crab. I was disgusted and immediately showed it to the restaurant manager who hurriedly informed the restaurant's head chef. He came over to our table to apologize and offered to give us anything that we would like from the kitchen. As we were already quite bloated, I told him it's fine. Frankly speaking, I am reasonably pleased with the swift response to my complaint.
The head chef insisted on compensating us for their carelessness, so we gave in and ordered two glasses of orange juice. To my surprise, the orange juice was freshly squeezed!
I have to mention that their mango dessert was awesome. Take a look at my pictures to see the generous chunks of mangoes they gave!
Overall, I was pleased with their service. Used plates were cleared quickly and the food was replenished constantly.
