I read an article about their weekend brunch. It looked quite nice and i haven't visited it. So decided to give it a try.

We booked 2 weeks ahead. It seems quite popular. On the day we went, it was full house.

As soon as we sat down, we were handed an menu. But the waitstaff didn't give us any introduction. For guest from other table, the waitstaff introduced the menu in details and provided recommendation.... i wonder if it was because we had westerner in our table! If that's the reason, it's very disappointing.

 It was quite a big menu. Appetiser and dessert on buffet counter, breakfast and main on menu. The free flow wine & beer, and bubbles was surprisingly good value. Not bad price at all.

The seafood is the biggest attraction for the brunch. There were Lobster, oyster, crab legs, and shrimp. I had a few oyster before the house was full. The oysters were all so tiny and not freshly shucked. They tasted a little bit fishy. The lobster was the biggest disappointment. It was tasteless! Same as the shrimp. However, the crab leg was very delicious! They tasted way more delicious than the lobster!

 Apart from seafood, there was cold cut, cheese, beef carpaccio, burrata, smoked salmon, tuna steak etc. Selection was not bad and well made.

For egg any style. I ordered pouched because it wasn't as filling as other. Omelettes was huge, much bigger size than we would have expected.

 Then it came to main. We ordered mussels and roasted beef.

Again the main was quite disappointing too. We got some dead mussels in the pot. A couple of them, the beard was still stuck to the shell.

 For the roasted beef, it has a bit of gristle. Not too bad, but i would expect a better cut.

 Dessert counter was rather small. The only hot dessert was a green tea egg waffle. I was thinking really? I can easily get one off the street. I would rather have a nice pancake. And personally i dont like any green tea dessert. But it is just me being picky.

Other dessert was nothing surprising. But tasted ok.

I wouldn't say the wonderful article on magazine was misleading. But the brunch was quite disappointing and we would probably wont come back again.
