Sigh. Hope they will have lobsters when I go in May.

To answer your question, no. I will not go if there are no lobsters. It's not so much tat the food there lousy, but rather wat you usually find at other Intl buffets. The lobsters are wat makes the buffet a must go for me.

Robata Robata

not sure if anyone has tried Robata Robata and felt the same? visited Westgate recently and since every restaurant had long queues, decided to give Robata Robata a try since they claim to be the buffet place that serves robatayaki.

pretty average food which would make a filling meal but not quite the place for robatayaki buffet since we could only choose either a ribeye steak, tiger prawn or lamb chop and limited to one choice, one order per person.

oysters were also limited to 3/person/round. the best food was surprisingly the pizza and pasta!

oh well. some pictures and review to share could be seen at my review - makeyourcaloriescount.com/2013/12/sg-robata-robata-average-buffet-meal.html

would love to post some pictures here instead but still unable to do so due to my status so please bear with me till then! :)

Thanks for the review. Just to clarify, after you place your order using your clip, the clip will be returned to you when they served the dish right? So basically, you can order unlimited rounds of the ribeye, prawn and lamb chop, just that it is only 1 order per time at any time?

Last week's 8days still mentioned that their oysters are fresh :s22:

Btw, nice site you have there, i esp like the pics in the review of the Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck. The dim sum looks so yummy!

Didn't eat the cooked food at all - no beef cheek or tongue

Also didn't try the roast turkey - would have preferred the lamb which it replaced

Just back from lunch at Marriott. Got beef cheek, but its cooked bourguignon style. Still quite nice, but i prefer their usual way.

Also tried their turkey, n surprisingly its quite decent too. I took 2 sections of the drum portion, n its quite moist n tender. Give it a try bah.

Yes, no lobster, no go. The lobsters are the main highlights. This is definitely not good news. Guess good things does not last forever.

Anyway, was told by the waitress taking the lobsters order that they served 200 to 250 lobsters per night. That is quite a lot considering these are no mere small ones but big adult ones.

oops, sorry about that, dint know! thanks for the info and the compliment, still looking to improve the interface and layout of the website. the dim sum at Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck was really good, certainly one of our faves!

on the buffet, nope, the clip will NOT be returned to you once you had submitted your orders for either the steak, prawn or lamb chop. so it is just one order per pax which we felt was rather restrictive.
