We had been frequent visitors to Cafe TOO for lunch buffet given its pancake station, Haagen Dazs ice-cream station, delicious desserts and reasonably wide variety of hot dishes of reasonable quality.We called to make a reservation in the morning for the same-day lunch buffet on a normal weekday. It was not full at all but it was obviously not a special day without any specific theme/special food items. The cost was $398 + 10%.We arrived slightly earlier than 12p.m. when lunch buffet would start

We had been frequent visitors to Cafe TOO for lunch buffet given its pancake station, Haagen Dazs ice-cream station, delicious desserts and reasonably wide variety of hot dishes of reasonable quality.

We called to make a reservation in the morning for the same-day lunch buffet on a normal weekday. It was not full at all but it was obviously not a special day without any specific theme/special food items. The cost was $398 + 10%.

We arrived slightly earlier than 12p.m. when lunch buffet would start, so we had some time to walk around and take some photos.

As soon as you enter the restaurant, you will be greeted by this cold seafood bar. We didn't try any of the crabs while my lunch partner tried the shrimps. He said that the shrimps were not good at all as they lacked fresh taste and only offered a meaty texture. The below average mark was given to the shrimps.

Sashimi (北寄貝, salmon, tuna & octopus)

There were 4 types of sashimi (北寄貝, salmon, tuna & octopus). 北寄貝 was ok. I asked for more and the server really gave me loads. Salmon, tuna and octopus were just a pass.

I only ate eel sushi, which were quite dry. There could have been more sauce on them.

There was a salad corner with special Thai-style appetizers which I didn't take photos of.

On the other side of the restaurant, you will be greeted by this Mega Steam Basket, followed by hot dishes.

鳳爪,素餃,蝦餃

The dim sum in general tasted better than I thought! 鳳爪tasted ok while the wrap of the veggie dumpling and shrimp dumpling was too thick. The quality was reasonable for buffet like this.

There was a special counter just for these 小籠包. Although there was quite a lot of soup, the soup no longer had yummy ginseng flavour as before. I was quite disappointed.

Chinese fried rice and Chinese soup

I didn't try these fried rice or Chinese soup.

Chinese hot dishes

I tried the sweet and sour pork which was too hard.

滷水燒味BBQ

My lunch partner tried some chicken and roasted goose which were too dry and below average. I tried a piece of half fatty char siu which was ok.

Then here you go Western hot dishes.

Western hot dishes

Roasted beef bone

There were Brussels sprouts! We hadn't eaten them in such a long time and it was good that we finally met our good old friends! We used to like the roasted beef bone a lot! However, the roasted beef bone this time was so dry, lacking beef flavour and not juicy at all! My lunch partner said maybe it was not fatty enough. My humble opinion was that it was too raw? Anyway I was pretty disappointed. The ox-tail was not tender enough.

Tempura, sweet and sour pork and 柱侯牛筋腩

There was a tempura station which I didn't take photo of. The fish and prawn tempura were really freshly deep fried but the batter was too thick.
柱侯牛筋腩 was served at the noodle bar. They were ok, just slightly salty but I guess it was because they were supposed to be mixed with noodles.

We took a bowl of Chinese soup each when we heard a bell from the Chinese soup station. It was 海底椰 something. The soup was quite salty. Not good at all.

There was a noodle bar station with quite some choices of vegetables and meat. I only tried the spinach in this laksa soup was quite spicy indeed!

There were also a teppan station and Indian station which I didn't take photos of nor try any of the food given my limited room in stomach.

I felt quite dry in my mouth after eating just a little bit of hot dishes and then quickly turned to desserts.

Lovely dessert station!

Haagen Dazs Ice-cream station

HD strawberry ice-cream, raspberry sorbet & macaron

I first asked for a pancake from the pancake station but I was told that it wouldn't be served before 1pm. So I asked for 2 HD ice-cream scoops of strawberry and raspberry sorbet with a macaron first! There could just be no complaint about the ice-cream.

Red bean with green tea mousse, Mango coconut sticky rice, Apricot oolong tea jelly

Cafe TOO always serves these 3 desserts.
The red bean with green tea mousse was yummy as always. Very light and smooth green tea mousse!
The mango coconut sticky rice was a bit heavy.
The apricot oolong tea jelly was just soso. The taste was so plain comparatively.

Cheesecake, Tiramisu, Berry tarts

The cheesecake was just a pass as i think it could have been thicker.
The Tiramisu was ok.
The berry tarts tasted quite good, although the tart base could have been even more crispy and tasty. It was ok given that it was buffet.

I tried strawberry and green tea macarons which were slightly crispy outside and moist inside.

I asked another server who told me that pancake could be made any time! So I managed to get one before 1p.m. This pancake had blueberries and strawberries inside with HD strawberry and chocolate ice-cream as toppings. This pancake was crispy and there were loads of blueberries and strawberries inside. However, I personally preferred soft pancake.

This pancake was soft. I don't know how they decided to make you crispy or soft pancake. I didn't ask for how they should be cooked specifically. It went great with HD ice-cream and fresh berries!

The bread pudding was quite good with loads of sliced almonds. It smelt and tasted so strong of egg and milk! Yummy!

HD mango and strawberry ice-cream

When we came on busy/special days, there could be a long queue for ice-cream. It was not so full the day we went so it was quite easy to ask for ice-cream scoops from the server. If there could have been supplies of toppings like almond slices or nuts on the ice-cream scoops it would be even better!

Overall, I think the quality of the hot dishes had deteriorated, e.g. roasted beef bones, steamed dumpling with soup etc, which was really quite disappointing. Despite the still delicious desserts and HD ice-cream station, I found this place offering a poorer value of money especially when you come with no special offers. There were better choices in town given the price.

睇過食評，見到D龍蝦大大隻，麵包蟹好正啊! 又多膏~ 於是早半個月BOOK定位上次去56樓，今次係7樓，一入去最觸目就係凍盤，之後甜品counter，色彩繽紛侍應幫我暫存紮花，唔洗阻住我用餐，出去兜一轉發現原來冇生蠔(不過呢個半估到，因為見人地d相都無post過)，但估唔到連最大期望既多膏麵包蟹都無，仲有刺身櫃無我最愛既吞拿，不過就竟然有海膽帶子，有驚喜!1) 波龍 - 雖然夠大隻，但我覺得毫無鮮味，ifc french window brunch雖然唔係波龍，細細隻兼冇鉗，但鮮味卻比呢到重。2) 鮮蝦 - 都鮮甜3) 蟹 - 無麵包蟹，用左海蟹代替，就咁食就完全無味，我點小籠包d醋食就幾開胃4) 三文魚,八八魚 - 刺身櫃有八瓜魚，北寄貝，三文魚，仲有一種唔知咩魚，我一向唔食三文魚，不過都覺得幾好味，夠新鮮唔會太肥(因為我好憎魚油味，太肥會覺腥)，八爪魚刺身鮮甜，北寄貝男朋友話ok5) 小籠包 - 我食左兩次，第一次係剛剛蒸起，皮薄多汁好正，點知第二次去攞係賣剩蔗，仲要塊皮穿左窿，無晒d汁唔好食~所以一定要食岩岩蒸起的~6) 粉絲蒸鮑魚 - 一般般啦，係無殼的，急凍野7) 海膽配帶子

睇過食評，見到D龍蝦大大隻，麵包蟹好正啊! 又多膏~ 於是早半個月BOOK定位

上次去56樓，今次係7樓，一入去最觸目就係凍盤，之後甜品counter，色彩繽紛

侍應幫我暫存紮花，唔洗阻住我用餐，出去兜一轉發現原來冇生蠔(不過呢個半估到，因為見人地d相都無post過)，但估唔到連最大期望既多膏麵包蟹都無，仲有刺身櫃無我最愛既吞拿，不過就竟然有海膽帶子，有驚喜!

1) 波龍 - 雖然夠大隻，但我覺得毫無鮮味，ifc french window brunch雖然唔係波龍，細細隻兼冇鉗，但鮮味卻比呢到重。
2) 鮮蝦 - 都鮮甜
3) 蟹 - 無麵包蟹，用左海蟹代替，就咁食就完全無味，我點小籠包d醋食就幾開胃
4) 三文魚,八八魚 - 刺身櫃有八瓜魚，北寄貝，三文魚，仲有一種唔知咩魚，我一向唔食三文魚，不過都覺得幾好味，夠新鮮唔會太肥(因為我好憎魚油味，太肥會覺腥)，八爪魚刺身鮮甜，北寄貝男朋友話ok
5) 小籠包 - 我食左兩次，第一次係剛剛蒸起，皮薄多汁好正，點知第二次去攞係賣剩蔗，仲要塊皮穿左窿，無晒d汁唔好食~所以一定要食岩岩蒸起的~
6) 粉絲蒸鮑魚 - 一般般啦，係無殼的，急凍野
7) 海膽配帶子 - 呢個好好味呀!! 海膽同帶子都非常新鮮，佢仲有d紅/黑魚子比你加落去，另外仲有一隻綠色既，呢個必試，我初頭以為係魚子，但原來係wasabi味，好過癮!
8) 銅鑼一響，又有燉湯出爐，我試左一盅，今晚係藥材湯，不錯不錯~~~
9) 意式雲吞，佢好重芝士味，加上唔凍唔熱，感覺好酥
10) 炸魚 - 又係唔凍唔熱，炸到硬掘掘
11) 燒蔬菜 - 我唔知係咩瓜，但總之我地兩個都覺得好難食，味道超怪
12) 雪葩 - 我食左紅莓味同芒果味，紅莓味唔會整到似藥水味~兩隻味都好好食~
13) 朱古力棒 - 超級甜，食左一啖就再食唔到落去
14) 迷你cone - 佢有個甜品係一個迷你cone既樣，我唔知入面有咩料，但就好好味~~唔會好甜
15) 例湯 - 例湯唔同燉湯架，不過一椒好好飲，今晚係花生煲雞腳~
16) 粉麵檔 - 有配料比你揀，我揀左烏冬，蝦仁，魚仁，嗚門卷，每人枱頭都有枝black pepper，我加左少少落個湯底到，嘩，個嘩馬上昇華，比我飲曬~~d蝦仁好大隻又爽口，由於我尾聲先去食，我叫佢比多幾隻蝦仁我

其餘我無食過既仲有沙律吧，天婦羅，燒味，咖哩，cake，生果，凍青口，中式點心

题外话/补充资料：匯豐白金卡，卓越理財信用卡，仲有ae唔知咩卡就有85折，我地折後價錢500幾，同DREANCH WINDOWS brunch差唔多，如果食蠔同龍蝦，我都係會揀返FRENCH WINDOWS brunch，因為佢地d蠔雖然細細隻，但係我食過咁多間buffet之中最鮮甜的，而且我貪佢細細隻夠嫩口

連d待應同廚師都非常有禮貌, 而且個個笑容滿面, 咁樣令食客都食得開心d啦~~~

大大隻的波士頓龍蝦任拎, 隻隻都啖啖肉, 食多幾隻已經番本~~ d肉好甜, 仲有d海水味, 覺得自己好豪, 成隻龍蝦咁食, 連佢隻鉗都好好肉~~~

凍蝦size適中, 肉質又好爽, 但間中都選中有d梅................

青口一般, 太細隻

刺身+壽司

刺身款式唔多, 要咗三文魚同立魚, 味道都幾鮮味, 最重要係厚切~~

壽司似係交貨, 魚生同飯係冇包實, 好似只係將塊魚生放上舊飯上面咁, 唔係好得lor~~~

有好多款, 有蝦餃、燒賣、小籠包等等, 大部份都係放响一大竹籠入面, 等你自己食幾多夾幾多, 但我淨係試咗小籠包, 佢係獨立一籠一隻, 不過個皮厚咗少少, 同埋唔夠湯~~~

鵝肝帶子

呢度遠長期都有人排隊, 第一次排到我時冇哂, 隔咗一陣我再去排, 都排咗唔夠十分鐘, 新鮮熱辣的鵝肝帶子終於可以食~~ 鵝肝煎得好香好脆, 不過好多油, 帶子就好厚身, 好有口感~~ 再伴多條露筍, 但已經比d鵝肝油包住, 好油lor~~~ 如果你唔怕油, 又唔怕排, 食多幾碟已經番本~~

差不多八點, 突然聽到 "噹", 然後見有好多人走去排隊, 我當然唔執輸, 唔理三七二十一, 走去排埋一份, 見到個燉盅好得意, 好中式味道, 因為有個佛頭做蓋, 當拎到番位一打開, 以為係翅, 原來係燉湯, 諗住好正, 但其實麻麻地, 屋企人都話唔得, 似味精湯多d~~~

種類好似好多, 但冇乜特別, 來來去去都係果d, 尤其夾咗幾樣, 再加多塊牛仔肉食, 味道尚算OK~

一路食飯, 一路聽到師傅成日撻麵粉, 心諗應該好彈牙, 所以order咗一碗試試, 但原來唔好食, d麵好林, 完全一d都唔彈牙, 但湯又淨係得吪生醬味~~~

生果+梳乎里

食buffet點可以唔留番個肚食甜品, 甜品款式種類好多, 但到我地食果時, 已經好多款比人拎哂, 唯有將其餘果d拎哂番去, 因為我地人多, 可以每人每樣食少少, 咁樣咪可以試齊哂lor~~~ 大致上d甜品都唔係太甜, 味道亦OK, 但最正係梳乎厘, 入口即溶, 但有人話太甜wor~~~

雖然冇得任飲, 但每人都叫做有杯餐飲, 你可一早叫, 但我地選擇食飽飽先叫番杯冰檸水消滯~~

其實一路食飯一路都好想瞓, 因為呢度非常有情調, d燈較到好暗, 而且人唔算多, d人又唔會太嘈, 唔知係好定唔好我唯一覺得唔好就係冇生蠔食, 以呢個價錢嚟講, 絕對應該有生蠔食lor~~ 唔係點番本呀 haha~~
