For the main we added a supplementary cost for the Braised Beef and the Angus Beef Burger. The braised beef was extremely tender and the consistency of the sauce was just right. I would have wished the vegetables were cooked with the beef as well instead of just put on top of it but seriously for this price I cannot ask for more.

 Their mini souffle pancakes were also pretty good given how quick they need to make it for the customers and the size. For the ice-cream, I obviously ate more than the 2 scoops of ice-cream(I think I ate 12 in the end). Having a chance to compare both ice-creams(excluding the sorbet),  I would say Movenpick is a bit more denser but its flavor are more prominent.

There were other condiments for the ice-cream as well as fruit and warm desserts(hence the name Ice and Fire Afternoon Tea).

In view the menu did not mention drinks, I was a bit surprised when we got to order drinks(it includes regular coffee and tea).

The servers were all efficient and cleaned up our dirty utensils quickly and politely reminded us at 5pm that the buffet will end at 5:15.

I would say for a dessert buffet, if you exclude the ice-cream choice, it may not be the best. However, given this price, I would say this afternoon tea definitely has a high, if not highest, CP value and definitely recommend others to try it during one of your weekday leaves.
Other Info. : Can try their other desserts first before ice-cream as the queue is a bit long initially but gradually subsides later on. The price below is the price for this afternoon buffet if only regular main courses are chosen
