A trip to Shangri-la the line was indeed the highlight of the weekend. My girlfriend made the reservation on their website, we enjoyed a 15% online exclusive discount so we only paid $55 per person. It kind of cancelled out the GST and service charges. As we went on a weekend(Saturday) lunch, the place was pretty crowded. Nevertheless, the service was really good, despite the crowd, plates were cleared promptly and whenever you come back with new food, the old dishes will definitely be cleared a
I started with the seafood station, there were prawns, large mussels and crab. There were quite a lot of people queuing for their oysters, at times I even gave up on the wait. The seafood were really fresh, especially the mussels, it was so juicy.
Then I moved on to the sushi counter, there was not much variety at each time but they do change the sushi toppings from time to time. The California roll was pretty good, went well with the soya sauce and wasabi they provided. But I did not eat much from this counter.
There was a salad bar there, you can diy your own salad or eat those that were prepared by the chef but I was not much of a vegetable person so I gave that a miss.Then there was the pasta and pizza counter, I was not really impressed by the Hawaiian pizza presentation so did not take a slice. The pasta had different sauces too.
I did take a bit of the fried seafood. Their fried calamari was really good, the calamari was not overcooked despite being deep fried. They also have an indian counter, I took a bit from there. It was really good, the spices taste were pretty strong and fragrant.
There was also a prata counter. The prata was cut into smaller pieces so you can try more food. This is really thoughtful of them. The curry that goes with the prata is a little on the sweet side but it was thick and flavourful. There was also a dim sum counter, they changed the dim sum from time to time, when I went there, there was not har gou and char siew bao but my girlfriend came back with them. Their siew mai was very juicy.
But I must warn that you must leave some space for the dessert cos the selection is a lot. This is one of the largest dessert spread I have ever seen. There were all sorts of cakes, tarts, pie and eclaire. It really satisfy my sweet tooth.
Not forgetting their ice cream counter. They even help you to mix in the toppings like those of marble slab. However I think the area that they mixed the ice cream was not cold enough cos when the lady handed me back my ice cream it was this state – melted. But it was good, wish it was harder though.
With this, I end my experience at Shangri-la The Line, hope this is helpful for those who are contemplating on going there. In my opinion, GO GIVE IT A TRY cos IT IS GOOD!
