Dining out for dinner had to be suspended for a while to fight against COVID-19 together. To get our tongues and stomach prepared, we decided to come back to 滿屋 for a Japanese all-you-want-to-eat buffet! Price remained so cheap as it was just $238 per head for a 2-hour dinner buffet plus 10% service charge. There were so many people even on a week day at night during the fight against the pandemic. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were told to wear our mask whenever we left our seats. Of
As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were told to wear our mask whenever we left our seats. Of course body temperature was taken first.
So in general there were a lot of choices of different food items and quality was quite good - really good when discounted by price. And I noticed that the menu had been revised with some new items compared with those a few months earlier. Let me bring you to a tour around.

Sashimi SushiThere were 7 types of sashimi sushi, including 京蔥三文魚腩 , 柚子油甘魚腩 , 黑松露吞拿魚醬油漬, 香蔥玉子, 黑松露赤蝦, 赤貝壽司 and 廣島蠔壽司. We tried 柚子油甘魚腩, 黑松露赤蝦 and 赤貝壽司. The amount of rice was quite small so you wouldn't find them too filling.
PickyCouple's recommendations: 黑松露赤蝦 was very rich in black truffle and the red shrimp was fresh and meaty!

There were 6 types of seared sushi, including 火焰牛油蒜蓉三文魚, 火灸芝味和牛, 火灸鳗魚 and 火炙海膽蟹棒壽司. We tried 2 of them which were 鹽燒左口魚邊 and 秘醬厚燒玉子. Again, the amount of rice was pretty small with very nice smell of seared fish oil on top of the rice.
PickyCouple's recommendations: 秘醬厚燒玉子 as the secret sauce was really quite delicious.
Cheese SeriesInstead of Creative Sushi, now they had this Cheese Series. There were 5 types, including 他他醬芝士吉列蝦卷,火炙厚燒芝士鰻魚壽司, 汁燒芝士北海道帆立貝壽司, 芝士長腳蟹棒壽司 and 醬燒芝士鮮蝦壽司. We tried the first 2.
PickyCouple's recommendations: 火炙厚燒芝士鰻魚壽司 had a piece of really thick and elastic eel topping!
HandrollsThere were 3 types of handrolls as usual, namely 美味蟹膏, 龍蝦沙律 and 海膽. We just tried 海膽 this time. It was very mini and not so filling.
軍艦 & RollsThere were 4 types of 軍艦, including 蟹子, 香蔥吞拿魚茸, 山葵八爪魚 and 三文魚籽軍艦(new). We tried 三文魚籽, 香蔥吞拿魚茸 and 山葵八爪魚.
PickyCouple's recommendations: (i) 香蔥吞拿魚茸 as there were loads of smooth minced tuna. (ii) 三文魚籽 were fresh and crispy.
There were 6 types of rolls, including 香蔥一口牛肉卷, 海膽魷魚加州卷, 牛油果軟殼蟹卷, 意大利黑醋雙重芝士鳗魚卷, 花之戀 and 海鮮火焰三文魚卷. We tried 牛油果軟殼蟹卷 and 花之戀.

PickyCouple's recommendations: Basically all ingredients were fresh and they were nicely done.

(ii)自家製吉列炸蠔 was super juicy although they were not so big. (iii) 紫心香芋丸 had crispy crust and soft interior which was not too sweet at all. (iv) 芝士年糕 had a good mochi texture with some cheese in the inside and yet not overly sweet.

燒物There were 6 types of grilled dishes, of which we tried 4 including 西京比目魚, 蒲燒鰻魚, 燒紐西蘭羊鞍 and 黃金焗廣島蠔 (new). The two we didn't try were 辣汁秋刀魚 (new) and 鹽燒雞翼 (new).
PickyCouple's recommendations: (i) 西京比目魚 was really best and we encored many times because it was so smooth and juicy with very delicious crispy skin! (ii) 蒲燒鰻魚 was of nice quality and served hot which we encored many times too. (iii) 燒紐西蘭羊鞍 had crispy crust yet still tender and juicy inside. They were also well seasoned. We had to admit that the quality was very good given that it was a all-you-can-eat buffet! Another item to encore many times! I hope they will always keep these items on their menu!
串燒There were 6 types of skewers and we tried 2 of them including 泰式燒雞肉串 and 鹽燒牛舌. Those we didn't try included 煙肉番茄串 (new), shrimps, sweet potatoes and pineapples.

(ii) 串燒和風牛肉 was well seasoned and quite chewy with reasonably rich flavour of beef. (iii) 花膠雞煲 was such a big pot with loads of healthy veggies at the bottom. There were 2 pieces of fish maws and 1 chicken drumstick. (iv) 燕窩燉蛋 was like a cold dessert. There were really some real 燕窩 on top.

There were 7 types of 一品料理 including 豉椒炒蜆 (new), 鐵板和風牛舌, 避風塘炒魷魚 (new), 麻辣紅油豬耳 (new), XO醬蜜糖豆炒象拔蚌, fried corn with butter and beef cubes. We just tried the first two.
PickyCouple's recommendations: (i) 豉椒炒蜆 was really good with very tasty sauce and quite a lot of clams. We encored once more! (ii) 鐵板和風牛舌 had 3 slices of ox tongues which were quite good to chew yet reasonably rich in beef flavour. Even the accompanying sliced onion and sweet peppers were tasty in the same sauce as 豉椒炒蜆.
That's all for those food items on the menu. There were many other food and drink items you could take from their buffet tables and here you go.

They also had these onsen eggs served in a bowl. The onsen egg was quite good. If there had been some toppings to add it would be even better!

Cheese Tarts & Egg Tarts
They also had cheese tarts and egg tarts. The cheese tart was really recommended because the cheese custard was so soft and rich in cheese! Even the tart base was pretty crunchy and yummy. I had 2 on my own!
There were also some cooked food on the buffet table which I hadn't taken photos of.

Ice-cream
We could each choose an ice-cream cup from Haagen Dazs, Movenpick or Dreyer's of a few choices for each brand. For Haagen Dazs, they had Belgian Chocolate, Caramel Biscuit & Cream and this Cantaloupe Melon which was seasonal. A perfect end to the meal!
For drinks, they had quite a lot to chose from which included both alcoholic and non-alcoholic ones. They even had warm black sesame vitasoy and a sake corner! We mostly drank this warm black sesame vitasoy and canned 100% pure water.
Seating was pretty comfortable as the two of us occupied a 4-person cart seat. Service was reasonable as it didn't take too long for our food to arrive. Although inevitably there were some missing orders, most of the food items we had ordered arrived in reasonable times. So definitely sufficient time for you to try all the food you would love to try. In view of the quality and variety of food and drinks against the cheap price, it was really highly recommended.
