I was there for their weekend dim sum brunch buffet on the 25th Sept last month and was pleasantly surprised. They offer a good variety and quality food with a modern twist. Few to mention are the must try IMO: baby abalone Shumai, Peking duck roll, duo prawn combination, Australian striploin, sweet & sour kurobuta pork, Cantonese style hor fun and Wagyu fried rice (lots of wok hei), deep fried sesame ball.
Must orders are the specially crafted delights which are 1 serving per item per pax which means you get to order all 3 items on the menu once: mini Buddha jump over the wall, braised sliced abalone with sea cucumber and steam Boston lobster. Full of flavours and doneness done right!
My party of 4 also opted for the “SIP”, unlimited beverages which include cocktails, wine and beer. No surprises we were happily focused on the cocktails throughout our 2 hour brunch. Despite a small cocktail menu of 5, superb SUPERB cocktails - I meant all of the 5. Good range from sweet, easy to drink to stronger in taste profile smokier. Love the portofino which was their signature - fruity. East mule was great too with herbaceous and hint of spice.
The amount of alcohol was just right for brunch - no one wants drunk and noisy customers during service. Appreciative of the additional alcohol strength for the last rounds of drinks. The SIP menu also included mock tails, tea, soft drinks and juices which we didn’t order.
Service was great, food came timely (restaurant was about 70% capacity). Lighting at table was sufficient bright with dimer lightings in the dining hall.
