I find their pizza n roasted meats stns decent. Noodles n claypots mostly cmi. They have a small section of salads/appertisers as well as desserts. Pay full price i dun find it worth it cos of the limited items, n also comparing to other places (then again, its cheap considering its right smack in the middle of orchard road plus if you're not a big eater, the spread should suffic). Then again, when i went there twice, its like $20 and $15 nett due to promos, so quite worth it :D

Went to many nice places to eat but this is definitely the highlight. Thanks again for letting us know about this place.

Np.

Going to taipei this week. Hope can get to eat good buffets. Already got 3 buffet places picked out. But dunno if i will have the chance to try them considering there are so much street food to eat at all the night markets n all over the place.

Sigh, so much good food, so little time, $ n tummy space =:p

Nope that's why I called today to double check..

When I first booked, no email was sent to me but my sis and my colleagues all got their confirmation emails. The restaurant never even told me need to wait for the email till I emailed them again before they finally send out the mail.

Will also be going Taipei in 2 months time. Will wait for another buffet recommendation from you :s13:

But after Nikko, I don't even want to go to Greenhouse for its live lobsters anymore.

Been to Taiwan many times but still feel Singapore hawker food easily beats Taiwan hawker food. Newton's food taste so much better than those in Shihlin. But do try grilled chicken backside if you can find one.

It's Hanoi for me this week. See if I can find any gems there

You must go to Sen Tay Ho. Biggest Buffet in Hanoi. 3 categories. International, Hanoi and Star (highest). Since Star Buffet is basically Hanoi+International buffet, I went to the Hanoi one since I don't want to eat International stuffs which I can easily get in Singapore buffet.

Hanoi Buffet = 370K or S$23. Drinks not included but cheap. One piece of lobster only.

I agree with you. I think spore hawker food much better. But there are some that's good. Shih Lin to me is over rated. I prefer the food at the night market in hualian so much nicer

Certain items are ok, typically the fried food like chicken cutlet (超大雞排). But how bad can fried food taste?

I prefer HK and BKK's street food. When I went to Taiwan some years back, I was so disappointed coz those Taiwanese variety shows portray Taiwanese food like got dragon got phoenix, but end up its only ok. Maybe I went to all the wrong places.

I tink this is the menu for the deal. Basically, the seafood items n sashimi all 1 order nia.

Voucher price also the same as the 4 pay 3 promo i tink ... of cos you dun have to bother with getting 4 pax if using the voucher.

oh, i didn't go their website see. i only see the deal and search for reviews. thanks
just thought about it, since going with 2 pax, then 1 time order probably is for 1 pax, so can still order another time if really required. otherwise there are still many items to eat. hehe, got the each pax can choose 2 premium items.. go as 2 pax can try 4 items. :D

Norm practice for premium items is 1 serving per pax. So for those 4 premium items, 2 pax can order different items n you get to try all 4.

For the other 1 order items, it's normally 1 order per table. They will say the portion will be scaled to the no. of pax, so you can't order twice if 2 pax or 4 times if 4 pax.

If only 2 pax, prolly more than enough dishes to try even with the restrictions. Personally I just dun like to be restricted, esp if I liked the dish n wan another portion.
