My daughter bought this cream cheese bun for me to try as she said this bakery has the best cream cheese bun so far.
The bun contains some raisins in it. The texture of the cheese filling is like cheese cake, the bun is very soft and a bit chewy.
I have tried other cream cheese bun from several bakeries and I have to agree with my daughter that this is the best that I have ever tasted.

I was a bit hesitant when my friend suggested going to this buffet restaurant as I had read bad reviews about them. As my friend had already bought some groupon vouchers and made reservation with the hotel restaurant, we just went ahead anyway.

We were greeted by a hospitable filipino lady, there was always smile on her face.

My friend had requested seats along the glass panel and we were lead to our requested seats by another lady restaurant staff.

The lady said:" Enjoy your meal." with a smile before she went back to the front counter.

Ice water was served the moment we sat down.

As usual, I would attack the salmon sashimi first. There were salmon belly which I love.
The salmon tasted fresh and sweet, yummy!

There were indian food, western food, teppanyaki, just to name a few cooking station.

For the Indian food, I had naan with mutton curry. The naan is warm with a bit crispy outer layer , I had this with the mutton curry. I would say the mutton curry was carefully prepared，so...tasty!

For the western food, I had a slice of roast beef. The roast beef was tender, my friend who is a food critic commented that they used tenderloin for the roast. There were mustard and other sauces to go with the beef too.

There were squid, fish slices and beansprouts fried with dou miao (豆苗）at the teppanyaki section, the beansprouts fried with dou miao were so popular that many diners were queuing up for them.

I particularly loved the salmon quiche, it was slighly bigger than the size of a one dollar coin. I enjoyed this so much that i forgot to take the picture!

My stomach was already full tank after eating all that, but I still find space to squeeze in somemore desserts with a cup of coffee. I liked the. passion fruit mousse served in a small glass, full of passion fruit scent and tasted sour-sweet. The cream caramel was good too.

The ice water was refilled without us asking and the plates were cleared away quickly.

As yesterday was mother's day, each of us was given an ang ku kueh as a gift before we left the restaurant.

Although this restaurant does not serve oysters or cold crab legs for weekday lunch, I find that the food was of high quality, well worth every cent that we paid for.

After I had lunch gathering with my friends, I went to BreadTalk at Somerset313 to buy some bread. I bought four ham and cheese bread, each cost S$1.20. The bread felt warm . I travelled all the way home from Somerset MRT to Pasir Ris MRT and to my surprise, the bread was still warm when I reached home. Although the bread was about the size of a palm, there were generous amount of cheese, a slice of tomato, a slice of ham and some parsley on it. I don't usually fancy eating bread, but this ham and cheese bread was really nice.

My family of five prefers this outlet to the other one at Orchard because of ample parking lots during the weekends. We have visited this restaurant a couple of times before. It was frustrating queueing for parking lots during peak hours at busy districts like Orchard Road.

The restaurant is conveniently located right in front of the parking lots, so we can just park our car and walk over to dine. The place has glass panels spanning from the ceiling to the floor which allows eaters to enjoy the view outside while they're having their meal.

For a start, we ordered two types of soup base, namely wild mushroom and spicy ma-la soup. These two soup bases are pre-included in the buffet price, but you can add $4-$6 to have other soup bases. I like the wild mushroom soup base as the mushrooms' fragrance and taste are strong but not overpowering.

We are entitled to pick 5 items from their starters or house specials prior to having our steamboat and this is already included in the buffet price as well. Below are some pictures of the dishes that we ordered.

:.

Sometimes they serve pickled vegetables (si chuan vegetables) as appetizers and you can get a plate of it at about $1.50 (got to pay for this, it's not included in the buffet).
I love the taste of their pickled vegetables, and it serves its purpose as an appetizer very well.

The dish featured in my top most picture is braised wild mushroom E-Fu noodles. You can order as many plates as you want as it's free flow The noodles were delicious and springy.

Although beverages are not included in the buffet, plain water is free flow. They have special rates for high tea and it's cheaper if you dine during lunch time. It'll be useful to call them up to check if they have credit card promotions too.

I went there for the Sunday Bruch (11.30am to 2.30pm) with my friend and were welcomed by the manager the moment we stepped into the restaurant.

The spread was extensive! Fresh oysters, salmon sashimi & tako were prepared on the spot. The oysters were so fresh I had four of them (each serving was 4 pieces of oyster). The cold crab legs were succulent and sweet too.

At a buffet, I don't normally eat food that can be found in hawker centres because it's a strategy to save some stomach space for the more luxurious food. However, knowing that their laksa is award winning, I ordered a bowl to see if it really lived up to its name. I was supposed to share it with my friend, but after tasting the first mouthful, i couldn't resist and finished the whole bowl by myself!

After a few rounds of food, I drifted to the desserts corner to check out the spread. We had durian penget (their specialty) and it felt like I was eating real durians! It was so good I devoured a few glasses of it. My friend had matcha ice-cream and she commented that it tasted like the one from haagen dazs!

For drinks, they have a coffee and tea making station where they serve teh tarik. The apple juice is also free flow.

I want to commend the live station cooking chef for his friendly and jovial customer service, which is rarely seen in other hotel buffet restaurants. Our used plates were also cleared very quickly. Overall, I was super pleased with the quality of the food and the awesome service.

I used DBS card on that day and was given 20 percent discount.
