we redeemed two $30 Conrad's dinning vouchers from Starhub rewards program, and thought its a fab idea to celebrate both V day and our wedding anniversary at this nice posh hotel.i emailed the hotel on the use of the two vouchers (under two different names) and received prompt response from the hotel that they welcome the vouchers to be combined in one use.Good First Impression of an Ah TAs hotel. the restaurant was 70% full when we arrived at 1230pm. we were shown to our table quickly and were
i emailed the hotel on the use of the two vouchers (under two different names) and received prompt response from the hotel that they welcome the vouchers to be combined in one use.
Good First Impression of an Ah TAs hotel.
the restaurant was 70% full when we arrived at 1230pm. we were shown to our table quickly and were informed that the buffet includes tea (assortment) and coffee.
the spread is probably not as extensive as The Line or Straits Kitchen. the usual fare: appetisers, cold cuts, salads, sashimi, piping hot chinese, western, indian, malay cuisine.
chinese: the steamed cod fish was really good. fresh, succulent meat that practically melts in my mouth.
we didnt try out the indian, malay and western cuisine as they didnt look as appetising as those from STraits Kitchen @ Hyatt.
the noodle station was at the outdoor area, serving laksa (the gravy is nice and doesnt have an overload of coconut flavor), bak kut teh (doesnt have the herbal nor peppery taste), bak cho mee ( the chef prob likes my husband a lot - he got a lots of you mee with a giantic pile of bak cho).
the sashimi was freshly prepared as and when the guest's request. the cut was generous
the most interesting part of the buffet is this huge cheese bowl that was used to toss caesar salads in. the chef will toss in the iceberg lettuce into the cheese bowl and scrape the cheese from the inside of the bowl before serving the salad. interesting. the cheese was not as pungent as i feared, suits asian's palate.
at the dessert corner, there were mini cakes like cheesecakes, chocolate cakes, nonya kuehs, ice cream (8 standard flavours like vanilla, strawberry..etc) the ice cream toppings included soft candies, choc balls and chocolates. the ice cream is worth a try, we went back for a few helpings, and were never disappointed. u can help yourself to the heaps of soft candies (sour apple and likes).
the lunch was $58+++ , would be good if there is/are credit cards promotion or when u have vouchers to offset the hefty bill. do call the hotel beforehand to confirm the pricing againas hotel buffets pricing increased every now and then.
