Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience with a nice atmosphere and comfortable setting. The food was generally good and enjoyable, though personally I felt it was still missing that extra touch of refinement and distinction that would make it truly memorable. The dessert section, however, felt rather minimal in both presentation and variety. While neat and simple, it lacked the visual elegance and selection one might expect, and some of the desserts themselves were unfortunately not particularly memorable. Service was decent overall, and the ambience definitely made the experience more enjoyable ๐Ÿ˜Š

Came here for the Ramadan buffet. We were pleasantly surprised with the buffet spread. There was many station serving different cuisine, local and international. I love seafood and would typical go for cooked prawn, lobster, crab with thousand island sauce. However, I skipped this cold seafood station totally as there were lobster cooked with chilli crab sauce, barbecue lobster, barbecue prawn ๐Ÿ˜‹. I love the fried bun dipped with the chilli crab sauce. I always tried the satay, roast beef and lamb. For dessert, i thought the durian pengat was delicious. But the nonya kueh was dry and tough. There was also a variety of drink choices for local drink like bandung and lychee drinks to orange juice and hot coffee, tea and teh tarik. The staff were quick to clear our plate and friendly. Overall it was a pretty enjoyable evening and I would come again especially with the discount by making reservations through the eatigo portal.

It was a fabulous evening with the wide spread of choices here. The seafood stations served fresh seafood and the server keeps replenishing once depleted. The LIVE grill station was great with big squids and juicy grilled salmon. Both the lotus soup and clam chowder soup are equally tasty and flavourful. The desserts are not sweet and wide choices, I am spoilt by the durian pengat, it was not too sweet and full of durian taste, it is definitely not those add alot of sweeten type. The drinks station have both hot and cold drinks and many choices to choose from. Lastly, the servers. Their service are excellent and their mannerism was great ! All servers are courteous and always wear a smile. Truly thumbs up for the excellent service ;)

The clearance of dirty plates was slow and poorly managed throughout our dining experience. As a result, our table was frequently cluttered with used plates that were not cleared promptly, which affected our overall dining comfort. As for the so-called seafood buffet, the selection was very limited and heavily centered around prawns. Many of the dishes consisted of prawns in different forms, such as prawn fritters, butter prawns, prawn soup, steamed prawns, and prawns with vegetables. The fresh seafood section only offered prawns, baby lobster, and mussels. There were no crabs, oysters, or other premium seafood items that one would reasonably expect from an international seafood buffet. The hot food selection was also lacking. There were no squid dishes apart from the grilled station, and even there, the choices were limited to squid and fish fillet. The overall variety was disappointing and did not justify the price charged. Simple additions such as satay, which is relatively inexpensive, could have enhanced the buffet spread significantly. I also found very few chicken dishes available. Items such as chicken rice, BBQ chicken, or other chicken-based offerings would have provided better variety. While there were mutton and beef curries, it would have been reasonable to include items such as lamb steak given the premium pricing. Although this was marketed as a seafood buffet, the actual seafood selection fell far short of expectations. An international seafood buffet should ideally include a wider range of seafood such as oysters, crabs, and other premium selections. I visited with a group of 4 adults and 3 children, and our bill exceeded $600 for a one and half hour dining session. Considering the limited food variety and underwhelming seafood selection, I do not feel that the experience represented good value for money. What were being served yesterday are far different than from other reviews here. No black pepper dish, no percik dish etc etc. I sincerely hope this feedback will be taken into consideration to improve the dining experience for future guests. Nevertheless compliments to Cashier Shasha and 2 elderly table attendants (waitress) for their friendliness and warm personalities.
