Just felt like having a buffet on a weekday, and not wasting the opportunities being located in the heart of hotels, pubs and great restaurants.

Anyway, came on a quiet wintery day according to the locals not cold to me, but with freezing cold air-con in the restaurant mimicking real winter!!

The food variety was just as Mandalay described, but not much selection on sushi, the desserts were good, and the photo explains everything.
I appreciated the drinks were labelled Hong Kong Tea, and the normal tea hence catered internationally.

Have been curious about their salmon lunch buffet and came here finally to try it out. This place was the first port of call for the outbreak of swine flu in Hong Kong, and there was a lot of ho-hum when it happened, although I must confess I was also guilty of avoiding the area during the period in question. Since coming out of its porky predicament, I noticed they have been making subtle changes here and there from what can be seen of their lobby.

Back to the food. the restaurant is on the mezzanine floor, with a long row of tables by the window, one of which we got. The food was displayed neatly and was well-iluminated. From memory, the spread consisted of:

(1) Cold dishes: A plate of piled-up salmon sashimi and another kind of white fish sashimi. The other dishes were: two or three types of pre-made salads, some cut-up tomatoes, green leaves with the requisite types of salad dressing, some suspiciou-looking Californian sushi rolls. They also had a strange taro-based soup I heard.

(2) Hot dishes: an imitation spaghetti carbonara that was dripping with cream, a carvery of roast beef and a roast leg of lamb, and five or six other tidbits like Chinese-style steamed chicken, sliced duck breast, Vietnamese shrimp meat on sugar cane (eh?!), fried Chinese vegetables, and even dim sum-style steamed beef (god knows why these where there lol).

(3) Sweets: there was a large variety, although the quality was by and large sub-par. A glass cabinet showcased little shot glasses and dinky dishes of desserts, and there were a few cut cakes on offer. Four different flavours of ice cream were available too, as was Chinese grass jelly, cut fruit, and even freshly-made hot waffles at the food station. The most interesting thing was the Halloween-themed desserts: brains in blood (some kind of custard in strawberry jam that tasted really bad and I had to leave it), a graveyard chocolate mousse, and some pumpkin-faced mango mousse. Not a bad effort, at least it was pleasing to the eye if anything else.

The quoted price was $118, and no 10% service charge was added to our bill. It was not a high price to pay for a bit of curious investigation. But I would only come back if the same curious spirit visits me again AND if I want a decent place to pick and choose my food in relative peace and quiet.

睇過之前食評就決定一試,大約都差不多.

話明拉丁美海鮮自助晚餐, 當然有冷盤蟹腳, 大頭蝦, 中蝦, 青口, 螺 (不過冇生蠔, 焗蠔焗扇貝就有)

魚生新鮮,壽司好味.我屋企人都話好

麵包細細件可以自己烘,好味

熱盤一般都可以,大約十樣八. 曾經出過一轉羊架, 超好食,可惜只食過一件

切肉檯有羊肉(冇食,好似食餘細細舊,鞋烚烚), 西冷牛(牛肉既野好難講,琴晚超好食),

甜品我覺得少選擇: 3個Cakes, 細細杯甜品, 雪糕, 即焗梳乎厘(好食) 等

每人約$230連加一,服務很好, 價錢OK食物OK

對比起下面兩個食評, 這次去到, 似乎食物款式減少了......

一去到有一點點唔開心, 因為見到幾張檯都好細, 放的食物唔多...
後來發現原來有玄機, 就是熱盤出埸次序有個CYCLE, 即是說其實可以試到的不只眼見這麼多...



首先要讚的, 是魚生很新鮮, 而且refill得ok快~ 魚生檯有三文魚, 立魚(出過一次), 油甘魚, 八爪魚, 象拔pong.

冷盤有smoked salmon(好新鮮, 味道ok啦...), 阿拉斯加蟹腳(鞋左少少...), 大蝦, 中蝦, 青口(竟然唔好食...), 花螺, salad兩三款, 有一大碟咩色都有既生菜, 好多壽司

湯有海鮮周打魚湯(唔知點解紅色的, 冇飲過, 但見到隔離檯拿左幾次...)

有個位自己烘包, 細細件, 淡得來質感好好~ 自己發明將麵包布甸既蛋塗上d包度, 好食到暈\

切肉檯有羊架, 西冷同豬柳, 每樣都好少, 唔會話擺成晚... 原本好想食西冷, 但見到佢燒到好熟...

熱盤有 焗蠔: 有少少似熱食生蠔咁~ 幾好食~ 一出5分鐘之內即刻冇哂...═.═"
白汁焗扇貝: 好正~ 一出10分鐘之內又冇哂...
天婦羅: 份量好多, 不過都係過一陣就會清左~
煮花螺: 個人不太好, 試過都ok~
清蒸大班: 見過一次~ 冇食
芝士焗茄子: 好好食~ 不過份量好少, 好快冇
仲有baby ribs, 羊肉, 燴牛肉, 鴨胸, 白切雞, 咖喱雞飯, 炒時蔬etc.....
以上樣樣佢好似內部有個cycle咁出, 一晚平均出現2-3次. 個Chef會成日出來巡, 一見到有位空左就會換新野出來,
好處是可以保持品質&新鮮感, 壞處就係食過好食但隨時會冇得再食...

飲品: 檸茶檸水咖啡奶茶自己沖, 仲有d加左水既芒果汁......═ ═"

生果: 新觧菠蘿, 蜜瓜, 哈蜜瓜, 西瓜, 木瓜, 好新鮮好靚~ 臨尾佢話你知buffet仲有15分鐘果陣都仲會refill...

甜品: 好多細細杯既甜品, 有芒果mousse(好食), Blueberry mousse(好食), 薑汁燉蛋(好重薑味但唔辣), Chocolate Cheesecake(ok, 但不是用貴朱古力整...), 燒菠蘿(加左焦糖陣味有點怪...), 木康布甸(ok但用消化餅整的...), 大菜糕etc
Cake有 木瓜Cheesecake: 受得到這個配搭會覺得幾好食, 唔受得就真係唔受得...
Tiramisu: 不錯~
桂花忌廉蛋糕: 三樣野分3層配合成一個cake, 都幾好食既...
麵包布甸: 好好食~~~
以上的又係輪住出...... 不過last 15分鐘都仲會再refill
雪糕是牛奶公司的, 有芝麻, Vanilla, Strawberry同芒果~ 芝麻超級好食...
本來仲有即焗梳乎厘, 又係只出兩次, 諗住遲d食已經冇...>"<
糖水有杏仁糊, 不過是沖粉的, 最差是這個...


service很好, 收野好快, 加水都好快, 好responsive~
環境就有少少嘈... 不過唔關hotel事既~
用了七五折coupon, $202,3一位, 抵食過我上次去黃金海岸啦....

豬流感一役令到好多人認識哩間酒店，經過「閉關7日」，普遍人對佢哋嘅印象都比較正面，我都支持吓佢哋，同太太、朋友去幫襯吓佢個自助晚餐！餐廳晌一樓，對住街景，地方唔算大，但裝修摩登、簡約同望落去感覺新蔟蔟，但稍嫌D位泊得逼咗少少，不過今晚因為人客唔多，所以都可以揀隔住枱哩坐，唔使同隔離枱客咁近。食物區亦都唔算大，但就至少樣樣齊，擺放得夠集中，雖然食物質素方面只屬中等，但都偶有佳作喎，況且二百鬆D，仲要打個75折俾你，折咗啱啱兩舊水搞掂（閒日價），都食得過吓！而且服務又真係唔錯，無論侍應抑或廚房師傅，都幾友善，問佢哋嘢，佢哋都盡量做俾你，唔會諸多藉口依樣唔得嗰樣又唔得，一班人去食嘢，都係尋開心啫，最怕遇到D黑口黑面嘅伙計，掃晒興！

講番有D咩嘢食先，中間一張長枱一邊擺咗魚生（4款）、中西式熱盤（約14-15款，包埋輪換）、西湯、麵包；長枱另一邊就擺咗凍海鮮（4款）、沙律、冷盤（5款）、壽司（4款）、生果（5款）；長枱中間高位又放咗D特色小碟（2-3款）。此外，外圍食物枱就放咗自助餐飲、甜品（10-12款）同雪糕（4款），仲有最後一部分係即製檔口，有即煮海鮮、翅湯、窩夫同切肉車！算唔算樣樣整先，反正樣樣試勻唔使多，少少咁試都飽都暈。好彩次次食Buffet有老婆一齊，樣樣都分哩食，基本上，大部份嘢食都試過晒，正如上面所講，質素方面屬中等，都唔差。

此外，仲有D細心位，好似麵包旁有座烘麵包機，烘麵包嘅特別好食，除一般多穀麥麵包外，又整咗D蒜蓉法包，可惜係個西湯「西蘭花忌廉湯」一般，比較淡口，如果唔係已經係一餐嘅好開始喇！跟住食沙律同冷盤加特色小碟，三色甜椒沙律好味，簡單哩講就係因為D椒好清甜，其他好似鴨胸、蝦咯嗲、凍雞卷……等等都OK！到食魚生同海鮮，魚生有油甘魚、北寄貝、三文同八爪魚，有D自助餐得兩款你揀咋，食落唔腥又點鮮味，而海鮮有蟹腳、翡翠螺、凍蝦同青口，蟹腳一出成日俾隔離枱班師奶搶晒，好彩都不斷番貨，幾樣嘢同出面食開哩比，都比較細隻，尤其D凍青口，真係幾奀吓！輪到熱盤，個人心水係個紅酒燴牛尾同菲佬皮雲吞，前者牛尾香濃入味，後者鍾意佢脆卜卜嘅菲佬皮！不過，全晚推介嘅係即煮「活蝦海鮮湯」，真係活蝦哩，成缸活蝦擺係你面前，你要嘅時間同師傅講，佢就撈隻上哩，加埋鮮帶子、魚肉、鮮貝幫你煮，所有我都唔蝕底前後飲咗兩碗添！食咗咁多嘢，都差唔多啦，到甜品同生果時間，不過，都幾可惜，佢哋嘅甜品好一般，當然係因為我對食甜品有要求，所以先覺得依度嘅甜品質素好一般，不過點好都好，我都有揀哩試，至少知道佢嘅甜品水準去到邊，其實要是你唔係好似我依種甜品狂，佢嘅甜品算唔錯，而雪糕係牛奶公司，最好味都係隻芝麻味！臨尾食生果，都算多款揀，有成5款咁多，出面常見都係西瓜、哈蜜瓜同菠蘿，依度仲有埋蜜瓜同木瓜，所以生果我都自己食咗大半碟，伴多個雪糕球，有益兼幫助消化。又一餐豐富晚餐！

環境: 一流,舒適,約(100座位)
服務: 十分專業,有禮(特別是ken la部長),記得去見下佢呀!:
物: 新鮮,好味,會不時轉款(8個熱暈)
凍食: 壽司(好味過元綠)以及其他酒店
糕: 4款(香草,朱古力,士多啤梨,香艼)日日唔同的。
總括: 地方不算大,座位舒適,美觀,服務優良,食物擺放不算多,但會時常轉款,食品新鮮,貴精不 貴多,好過我在12月聖誕到機場富豪酒店多多聲,得過大字,好似座大家樂 0甘。推薦給愛舒適的你。(怏d襯依家有75折,和做海鮮節)去試下啦!
