My friends and I bought a Groupon deal ($35nett for weekend Hi tea at Museo U.P. $48++). Since there is only one seating (1.30pm - 5pm) for weekends, we made our reservation way back in Mar to secured seats. Museo is located at Quayside Isle at Sentosa Cove, not a very public transport friendly place but definitely a sanctuary away from the bustling city area. Arriving here immediately puts us in a relaxing and laid back holiday mood.
There are many international restaurants here that offers waterfront dining experience. Museo is located at the 2nd level above the Picotin bistro.
Our table had waterfront view. It is the sofa type seat where diners take off their shoes and relax over a cup of tea/coffee...if you don't need to get up for food that is. We initially find it cumbersome to get in and out to get our food from the buffet stations. But once our tummy are filled, it is really quite relaxing to laze and sip tea while enjoying the view outside...
The buffet spread...not a huge selection of food but food quality is very good. Their signature dish Roast pork belly (sio bak) gets snapped up pretty fast!
The Dessert station, also limited choices, some are nice some are not so nice..
My food choices...I ate 3 rounds, all of them contains sio bak. The pork belly is roasted just right, has 2/3 lean meat and 1/3 fat plus super crispy skin....heavenly! Their fresh prawns and Cajun chicken chop are also very good. The appetizer dishes such as the cold pasta, tuna tataki and seafood salad were also very fresh and well prepared...yums.
For desserts, I had the mango mousse cake, green tea mousse cake, chocolate swiss rolls and cream puff. I liked the chocolate swiss roll and mango cake, they were soft and spongy and not overly sweet. The others tasted so so only. For fruits, I had the rock melon, it is super sweet!
The highlight of this restaurant had to be their Arteastiq tea. I had two rounds of hot tea and a cup of hot chocolate. Their hot beverages were very lovely, the hot chocolate was thick and creamy, the French rose tea was fabulously fragrant and the Mint lemongrass tea really wakes up my senses.
Overall we really enjoyed the dining experience here. The service was good, prompt and friendly. Dishes were cleared regularly, ice water was refilled without asking. Food at buffet stations were replenished fast...especially for their popular dishes. The buffet price includes unlimited order of non alcoholic drinks. We find that it is really worth the price we paid.Post
