CafeTOO had stepped up it's prep for COVID and a lot of dishes they've prepped in smaller dishes for you to take away. Patrons must mask up before they step up to the buffet stations.What was good: the choices available, from Chinese (dim sum and also more traditional dishes), Indian, Western, Japanese, Thai - with 4 choices of sashimi / salads and cheeses and a nice seafood bar with mussels, crab, crab legs.

What was good: the choices available, from Chinese (dim sum and also more traditional dishes), Indian, Western, Japanese, Thai - with 4 choices of sashimi / salads and cheeses and a nice seafood bar with mussels, crab, crab legs. Dessert was also an impressive mix of cakes, ice-cream and sweet steamed buns.
The spread was also not overly expensive for lunch - under $350pp at a nice hotel, including a drink coffee/tea.
Overall the sashimi was very fresh, with a tasty spread of food overall - especially memorable were the hazelnut cake and double steamed soup.
What wasn't so good: sushi rice was not as good as expected - it was a bit too over-cooked/moist for sushi rice. Xiao Long Bao was a bit of a let down - steamed way too much and dry. The tempura was a lot a bit of a miss - a bit cold and batter not overly fluffy. They had a small platter of soy sauce eggs and tofu and over did the cinnamon on the dish!
Because this is THE Shangri-la, I had some higher expectations, but I think for the price and the food you were given (and also very nice service) I think it was fair experience but not overwhelmingly AMAZING. I don't believe there was any 'show-stopping dish' but a nice lunch nonetheless that would fill you to the brim with around 2 hours of non-stop food.
