2nd n 3rd day of CNY, both PH, w lunch @ $39 n dinner @ $44 (i think) w yusheng (if you have 4 pax or more) is cheap wor. Yes, their variety is considered on the small side n you dun get the more premium stuff, but for the price, i find it acceptable. If want a solid spread, can go edge, carousel or colony, but the price is also ...
Frankly, their CNY spread is actually on par or imo slightly lousier compared to their usual spread. Normal spread got items like roti prata, lok bak, more DIY noodles, porridge etc. Their roti prata is actually quite good wor. Normal pricing is $29 n $34. I think its very good value for the food they serve.
CNY spread pales value wise in comparison. Basically, you are paying $10 more for yusheng n cos its CNY day 2/3, but i still went on 3rd day cos i wanna lohei w friends n its CNY PH, other than k bbq buffets, most of other buffets all have to pay a premium.
I will not recommend coleman if you wanna celebrate some event or have a big feast to pamper yourself. But its somewhere i dun mind going every weekend or once in 2 weeks just for a meal. Economical n decent.
Wife and I went to the 15 Stamford Sunday Brunch (link goes to hotel website). s$148++ per person but we didn't pay cos redeemed a discovery local experience.
Overall verdict ... the variety is definitely below par compared to other hotel restaurant buffets. E.g. there is no cold seafood section, nor any indian/malay/chinese food sections. If you're the type that needs huge variety of food, this buffet won't be for you.
But for the food available on offer, the quality is above par, the food is high quality and really good. Examples:
- Cheese board section has more than a dozen cheeses
- The cold cuts section has jamon iberico de belotta
- Roast meats section has 4 different cuts of wagyu, suckling pig, 2 whole fish, lamb leg, spring chicken.
- There is a to-order pan seared foie gras station.
- The laksa de smoked quail eggs JHJ
Ambience and service is good, it's a very relaxing experience with live jazz band (restaurant only ~50% full, not sure if the lack of crowd was caused by covid-19 fears).
Value for money ... hmm. At s$148++ for the non-alcoholic version it really is super super hard to recommend. For me maybe I would be willing to pay something like around 100++.
Photos on phone and I haven't resized or uploaded them yet, will do that later this week depending on how early my baby sleeps lol.
