Wasn't sure what I wanted to have for lunch and feeling kind of hungry, I headed to Orchard Cafe for their buffet lunch as I've heard about the large spread they offer, ranging from Japanese to Indian to local cuisines. As I went during the CNY period, some of the dishes were replaced with ingredients of the traditional CNY dish, yusheng. I spotted many diners having min lou hei sessions! As a fan of Japanese food, I would say the selection of sushi available though vast in variety, were not great in taste. Freshly cut sashimi were available at the counter and were fresh and sweet, although I would say their freshly-grounded wasabi was even better. Oyster, prawns, crabs, mussels, smoked salmon and crayfish were also available and these I tasted with delight. Oysters were refilled on a less-than-regular basis and only a few pieces at a time. Five different kinds of cheese are offered, however displayed at a corner which would cause many to miss it. The desserts here looked amazing and their chocolate mousse is to die for. With five different kinds of ice-cream flavours to choose from (Matcha, Black sesame, Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry), you don't have to worry about not liking any of it! Pair the matcha and black sesame ice-creams together and you will feel like you're in heaven. If you're not a fan of cold desserts, they also have a mini chocolate fondue and a variety of fruits, marshmallows or candies for you to choose from. Definitely value for money!
