Our last visit was slightly less than a year ago and it seemed that there are now so much more to eat on the buffet table at a similar price for executive semi-buffet lunch! Honestly you could well have a great feast without ordering the main course from the menu but it would be your loss if you didn't order because the main courses were pretty good at an additional cost of just $50+10%!When you entered the restaurant, you were welcome by the sashimi & sushi counter!

Honestly you could well have a great feast without ordering the main course from the menu but it would be your loss if you didn't order because the main courses were pretty good at an additional cost of just $50+10%!

Sashimi and Sushi

When you entered the restaurant, you were welcome by the sashimi & sushi counter! The sashimi were pretty standard with salmon, tuna, octopus and 立鱼. They were nothing special but they were self service with no queue. Quality was average so I just had one round.

Cold seafood was next to the sashimi and sushi counter. They were not attractive enough for me to try.

There was also a noodle bar at your own service with quite a few types of balls/dumplings/noodles to choose from. I didn't try or spend much time on it. My lunch partner tried to make one and said it was delicious! The bowl looked very pleasant to the eyes!

There were two types of soup. One western and one Chinese. I didn't try but my lunch partner tried to add the Chinese soup to his noodles and he said it was good! haha. There were a few types of bread next to the soup counter, including very lovely black sesame bread.

Salads and fruits

There was a simple salad bar. Fruits included water melons, Hami melons, melons and pineapples and were sufficient.

The Greek salad and Red Quinoa salad were quite strong in flavour but tasted quite good. The seafood salad with fun si was ok. The pumpkin was a bit too salty. The rocket and spinach in this photo were both quite fresh and went great with cheese! There were a few types of cheese and some cold cuts including smoked salmon and ham which I didn't try.

Surprisingly the hot dishes at the buffet table were quite good with quite some choices.

Stir fried clams with black bean sauce tasted quite good.
Stir fried chicken fillet with mango and bell pepper tasted very good with tender chicken! The sweet mango was a big bonus!
Baked seafood with mango cheese sauce had a great delicious taste in the rich cheese sauce with extra bonus from the sweet mango again!
Seared fish fillet with mango and coconut sauce was ok.
Baked escargots in garlic and herb butter on mashed potato were such a uncommon dish at buffet and were quite yummy too.
Chinese cabbage was average.

Confit duck leg with mango and red wine sauce was quite tender and juicy than thought!
Roasted pork loin with mango and apple gravy was ok.
Braised beef cheek with roots vegetables in port wine sauce was ok.
Tandoori chicken was too dry.
By this time I finally realized that mango should be their theme so many dishes were designed with mangoes as one ingredient.
Also tried their sauteed okra and zucchini with tomato sauce. The veggies were quite fresh but the tomato sauce seemed to be absent.

When we felt like it, we asked the servers to serve us the main courses.

Grilled Australian Beef Tenderloin with Roasted New Potatoes & Black Pepper Sauce

This mains was very good. We asked for medium rare beef and it was cooked perfectly with crispy crust but juicy & tender interior. It had a strong beef flavour too! The veggies including the roasted potatoes were fresh! A very good dish overall

Deep-fried Lamb Cutlet with Roasted New Potato and Mango Mint Salsa

This mains was even better! The lamb cutlet was freshly deep-fried with almost perfect crust which was not too thick. The lamb was still juicy and tender. The mango mint salsa was quite refreshing to balance the oiliness of the deep-fried cutlet. Well done!

There were quite some choices of cakes on the desserts table too.

There were HD strawberry, mango & raspberry, banana and vanilla ice cream in the fridge at your own service. Very very good!

Mango frozen yoghurt & mango sticky rice

There was a frozen yoghurt machine at your own service with mango flavour. So bad there was no toppings and it was too sweet! It was probably the worst frozen yoghurt I had ever tried. I remembered that the frozen yoghurt last time was really good with loads of toppings.

The mango sticky rice was very delicious with strong coconut flavour. I had two!

I really like this iconic desserts plate! But there were not enough appealing cakes for me to fill it up. The cakes were so bad this time compared with last time, basically none of them was good

The apple crumble was the best but not particularly good. It wasn't even crunchy enough.
The white chocolate mousse, to the right of the apple crumble, couldn't stay intact when I took it out and it was a total failure in terms of taste and texture too.
The cheese cake and pear mousse with lemon jelly cake on the bottom were also total failures. There was loads of air in them.
The chocolate banana cake on the bottom left hand corner was better but still below average
The white wine jelly was ok.
The mango pudding was better too but also below average.
The creme brulee, not in this photo, was very smooth but the coated sugar on top was too sweet and thick.
Overall pretty disappointing.

There was sweet tofu with black sesame and red bean paste. I didn't try but my lunch partner ate a few bowls so they couldn't be bad!

Mango and papaya in coconut milk with sago

There was one type of hot sweet soup. This one was a bit too sweet but I really liked the coconut milk and boiled mango and papaya!

A standard coffee/tea was included in the lunch set.

Service was below average as the servers were very busy running here and there. Finished plates/bowls were not collected timely enough and the server seemed to be in a big rush when we asked them to take a photo for us.

However, given the quality of the main courses and hot dishes and the provision of HD ice-cream at such a competitive price, Kudos would definitely stay on my to-go list when I crave buffet some day again.
