This restaurant was one of the worst I have tried. I was really disappointed with this restaurant, my friends and I had high expectations as the pictures on its website looks really appetizing and simply freshness. We went there for the dinner buffet and they had a great variety of food as advertised but the first thing that irks me there was their plates. It  was so dirty, kinda 9/10 were unacceptably dirty. The dinner buffets starts at 6pm but we manage to arrive only about 7pm and most of the dishes were almost empty and they didn't bother to replenish them. Then, my friends commented "The food was Pathetic" (Her exact words). Take a look at some pictures below which I took during this visit but the pictures definitely looks better than what it tasted like. When we  were almost done with our meal, our plates were not empty and we were told by the staff to finish the food but our reply as a group (6pep) told him to try the food himself, the food was simply horrible. My friends swear that they would never step into this restaurant again, just imagine that.

DinnerMonday to Sunday & P.H


I and my girls went to this restaurant for our annual Xmas gathering'2010. Went there for the chinese ala-carte buffet and it was crowded for a casual weekday evening. This restaurant position is difficult to locate as its in one corner of Suntec Convention centre, i also got to know about this restaurants only through reviews spotted online. The price is considered reasonable for the kind of food which was served, its all you can eat except for 3 items which they only provide one serve per person, which is the Peking Duck, Mini Buddha-jump-over-the-wall and the Poached Prawns. I actually got to try over 25 types of dishes, it clearly fulfilled my appetite for diversity of taste but it failed to fulfill my hunger for a scrumptious meal.
