I'd only had bisque at JACK'S PLACE (so you can have an idea of the quality of food i'm comparing it to), and this bisque was worse than the jack's place version! Very thin and bland as stated above. Very disappointing, considered that i couldn't make a reservation and actually queued for three hours just to get a spot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-47526311574569668182011-07-11T16:22:08.728+08:002011-07-11T16:22:08.728+08:00I'm one of the readers who went to the buffet ...I'm one of the readers who went to the buffet upon reading the review at your blog and some of the other food bloggers'. As per what the readers above have commented, the crabs served were definitely not fresh. They were tiny in size and mushy! The worst was the ice the prawns were placed on melted and they did not change it so the prawns were swimming/drowning in ice water, it was totally disgusting! Oysters were terrible too. Very unhygenic.<br /><br />I'm known by my family and friends to not be a picky eater, but i consider this to be the worst buffet i went to in my life, wasted $38++ for nothing. Felt cheated by the reviews posted here and elsewhere, especially with regards to the size of the crabs and their quality. The organizers should take note of the comments and work on this if they shall be organizing a similar event again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-53507976279812724222011-06-22T10:37:45.458+08:002011-06-22T10:37:45.458+08:00Also, to add on the sashimi, it is dyed horrendou...Also, to add on the sashimi, it is dyed horrendously red, almost the colour of fresh blood. The colour of real salmon is a pale pink, not a lurid red. Does this scream quality to you? Or even mediocre passable quality. No sirree. Save your money.

The food is pretty bad, the crabs were small and not fresh at all. Worst of all, there was a queue for oysters and durian. For the oysters, the refills came once every 20 mins, and there was a queue waiting for the refill. Each refill was maybe 20 oysters, cleared out by the 1st 3 people in line. It's ridiculous, I didn't pay $45 (incl taxes) to spend dinner time queueing and not eating. The durian queue was 45mins-1hr long. And you can only walk away with 2 small plates at a time. Even though the durians were good, eating it brought no joy after the entire experience. All in all, crap food, crap service, crap value.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-36514260214660849362011-06-19T22:01:47.845+08:002011-06-19T22:01:47.845+08:00went there on 15th june and i agree that it was ve...went there on 15th june and i agree that it was very bad. the fried food were soggy and oily, the bisque was remarkably thin and bland, crabs werent great, and you have to queue for durians. atmosphere wise, its just really hot and they used white lights so it felt more like a hawker. really aint worth the $45.<br /><br />i really think that the organisers served up better food to the media invitation but probably couldnt be bothered afterwards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-81548641783201045612011-06-18T12:41:09.092+08:002011-06-18T12:41:09.092+08:00Oh dear.

Crabs are cold,rough and mushy. Topping up of food is slow because the staff have to walk to the restaurant to collect. Other food they have are also served cold, the arrangement of tables and chairs are very cramp. The only consolation are the durians but you have to q at least 45 mins for only 2 plates. If you want 1 more round another 45 mins of q-ing. Definitely not worth the $$$.<br /><br />So it's ok to give it a miss!

Sashimi only salmon available and does not look very fesh as well. The durian does not taste like D24, the flesh is not creamy, it taste so watery and very little flesh. Overall, this is not a place for quality food.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-14370896302410031122011-06-14T13:58:46.360+08:002011-06-14T13:58:46.360+08:00Sorry to hear that.

The durian was good - if only they had more than one person de-shelling, and if they had more durians in the first place! It took me 45 minutes in the queue to get to the durians. And then, when we wanted to get a 2nd helping, and after queueing for another 20 mins, they ran out! Terrible value for money. We would have been better off buying the D's from somewhere else instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-17747148290595728202011-06-10T20:22:38.822+08:002011-06-10T20:22:38.822+08:00Yeah, sadly.
