Canele has always been my favourite tea time place for me and my friends. I went to both Paragon and Dobby Ghaut's outlet, I would say the ambience at Paragon seems nicer. I tried the strawberry shortcake and as usual chocolate and caramel macarons and the summer season green apple macaron this time round. I am so happy with the choices I made. I shared the strawberry cheese cake with my friend and it is so nice. I guess you might want to share it with a friend if you are not really a fan of cheese cake like me, but I like it! Its a great choice for tea time! The green apple macaron is nice as well, I was afraid to try at first, fearing that it would be very sour kind. However, it is actually not bad, sour with the right amount of sweetness in it. Lastly, Chocolate is for you if you are a chocolate lover like me.…查看更多

My friends and I been saying that we wanna go enjoy some hotel buffet some days and pamper ourselves with food and all. After so long, we finally decided on Straits Cafe from the long list of many hotel buffet places we found online since people were saying its consider as a buffet that is nice and affordable.However, I got to say that I am kinda disappointed. Its a little different from what I thought. I thought dinner has more variety and hence we chose the dinner slot for buffet and made reservations. Oh, regarding that, you might want to consider making reservations if you are interested to try out the food over there. I called like 4 hours before going down for the buffet and only managed to get the last table meant for three people.Back to food, named international buffet, how could you leave out salmon sashimi right? I am satisfied with the salmon sashimi since it is our favourite food. They also serve fresh oysters (Do note that it is limited to 4 oysters per person at a time, you can queue again after you finish it though) The oysters are not bad as well, worth trying if you really like seafood. They did serve some sushi, however, we did not try it out since the variety is a very limited. If you are a fan of Local food, perhaps this buffet suits you the best. They have like rojaks, mutton, chicken, crabs, drunken prawns, roti prata and even laksa served (salads and desserts as well with a durian dessert corner), I only tried laksa since the others do not really appeal to me, and the laksa is really nice that i ate two bowls of it. The double boiled nutritious soup is also worth a try if you like soups like me:)Lastly to the desserts, we were kinda disappointed with the dessert corner as well. There are cakes, tarts, chocolate fondue, durian puffs and fruits. sounded like its a lot right? However, there are not strawberries for chocolate fondue which I thought there should be(perhaps it's just me), only marshmallows and grapes. Three types of cakes, orange sponge cake, hazelnut and some yoghurt cake. two types of ice cream: Lime Sorbet and Green Tea with milk. The former is quite nice i would say, combination of sweet and sour, its just like a yoghurt.Nevertheless, I think that the ambience is nice. What is worth trying to me if you are there are the laksa, double boiled nutritious soup, salmon is like a standard thing, oysters and the lime sorbet ice cream. There is a DBS promotion now at 20% off the total bill i think. So initially we have to pay like $59 per person and only end up paying $48. …查看更多
