If you are a fan of oysters- then I highly recommend you to come to Yamm.I was lucky enough to try their new oyster promotion and I wasnt disappointed! They've got 3 different kinds of live oysters on the buffet that is freshly opened. I highly recommed the West Africa one, as I was suprised to taste such texture- from such a small oyster. Must try to know what I am talking about. The US one is a big oyster- I dont understand why people only line up for the big ones, you cant even taste the flav

They've got 3 different kinds of live oysters on the buffet that is freshly opened. I highly recommed the West Africa one, as I was suprised to taste such texture- from such a small oyster. Must try to know what I am talking about.
The US one is a big oyster- I dont understand why people only line up for the big ones, you cant even taste the flavour in them and they just look too big and weird. But the Australia one, the saltiness to it was just perfect, you can taste its freshness and the fact you know it came from the sea.
On top of that, they have different kinds of oyster cooked in different ways- not a fan of sea urchin- so the oyster sashimi wasnt my thing. But the oyster sushi and tempura was great!- but nothing beat the oyster teppanyaki and the yakitori- the yakitori oyster was salty- but the taste with the bonito flakes was just divine!
Other than the oysters- they have sashimi, tempura, yakitori, teppanyaki- highly recommened you try a little of everything before you order by bulk. The table next to me did that and they wasted so much food it was sad.
They had shark fin soup on the buffet in individual bowls as well as curry, hainanese chicken, salad bar, cold cuts, and all other kind of seafood. But I was too concentrated eating all the oysters that I was so stuffed and couldnt fit anymore of the other oyster. They also have peking duck and pigeon. They were cooked ok for a western restaurant.
The dessert definitely lacked in selection- they had 3 bowls of different color of macroons places separtely -its like if they were trying to take up more space on the buffet. And their 3 jars of "display"- it had candies in it- but looks like no one is allowed to eat it coz there is no utensils for it. Compared to the rest of the buffet food, the desserts was definitely the biggest disappointment.
Service was okay, it looked like they lacked staff- there was only a couple of people clearing all across where I was sitting. A bit of plate pile up situation, but they got all my orders right so I wasnt too fussed..
Oyster fans- should definitely go try. And definitely keep an open mind when you arrive- like i say, i was shocked by how great the west africa oyster tasted!
