This was my mother's choice after walking around K11 for restaurant options, as we were celebrating a late mothers day. On a friday night we were able to get a table without reservations - the restaurant looks small but it can surprisingly fit quite a lot of diners. I will proceed to briefly explain the buffet, but as I sampled so many items i won't be able to review each properly!For starters, diners could head to a square table where all the appetizers were placed.

On a friday night we were able to get a table without reservations - the restaurant looks small but it can surprisingly fit quite a lot of diners. I will proceed to briefly explain the buffet, but as I sampled so many items i won't be able to review each properly!
For starters, diners could head to a square table where all the appetizers were placed. There was a sushi/sashimi counter, antipasti selection, salad selection - which the chefs can make upon your choice of salad leaves, dressings and toppings, some pre-made salads, chilled seafood including baby abalones.
In the chilled seafood section, the abalone and crabs were fresh and retained its sweetness, but the small lobsters were quite disappointing as they were not so fresh nor sweet, and the texture was too hard.
The sashimi and sushi selection was not vast, but as they were good in quality so I didn't mind!
For mains, there was too much for me to try everything...but there is an indian corner which had very good vegetarian curries, papadums and chicken tikka. Also at the grill there are a variety of sausages, burger patties, salmon, and a blackbean sauce fish in foil. Beside the grill was several pastas and a couple of pan pizzas - not my favourite thin crust, but was pretty decent.
There is also a teppanyaki and tempura corner which were both surprisingly good - probably because the presence of chefs that made what you want to order throughout the night. Then there is a chinese food corner with a very good double-boiled soup they labelled as "buddha jump over the wall". It basically has everything in it - pork, scallops, sharksfin, wolfberries and many other asian ingredients, resulting in a flavourful chinese soup rarely prepared in the household due to its long list of ingredients included.
Other than this, there were some seafood and meat stir-fried dishes, as well as a wonton noodle station and roast meat station. These were not bad at all.
Alas - on to dessert! There were two displays - one fully of cakes, the other one with some desserts and fruit bowls. From the cake display I chose the Earl Grey Mousse, Strawberry puff-pastry tart, Greentea and red bean cake and a Chocolate mousse cake with passionfruit mousse centre. From the desserts i tried the floating island as well as the Chinese-style mango pudding and soft-serve ice cream with fruits. Very rarely does a buffet succeed in the execution of most dessert selections but TST Hyatt's cafe certainly did. The soft serve ice cream was stellar - a chef will pipe the ice cream for you in a glass and you pick what toppings you would like, with cookies, fresh fruit and chocolates to choose from. The green tea and red bean cake was the least sweet - more for the asian palate, but my favourite was the earl grey mousse. The strawberry tart and and napoleon however had already gone soggy so they were quite disappointing but with so many other choices you may as well forget them. The portuguese tart was a very good - crust stayed crisp even though they had been sitting there for some time, and it was exactly the same in taste as the one we had in Sha Tin 18 =).
Lastly, service was excellent, although much better from the chefs in the food area than the waiters themselves. They were so well-trained and willing to help that you cannot leave without a smile. The Shatin Hyatt Cafe's buffet cannot compare to this at all in terms of food alone. There were some similar items, but the selection of food here is significantly wider and tastier. At $438 per head on weekends it is truly a great deal
