Went to The Clove @ The Swissotel with a few friends on Friday night after pre-purchasing a Chope voucher where the buffet went for half price, $55.91 nett per pax after the discount. Wanting to maximise my money even more, I booked the table at the earliest possible time, 1730H and arrived at 1700H for good measure.
Comparing the food that was available to the menu provided on their website, everything was pretty similar except for their desserts which was disappointingly scarce relative to their online menu. There was a distinct lack of:
1) Petit Macarons
2) Millefeuille Parmesan Cheese Tart
3) “Apple Clove” Caramel Crepe Gateaux (C)
4) “Orange Clove” Cocoa Sable (C)
5) Japan Sweet Potato Tea Cake
6) Chocolate Bonbon
While I understand that the menu showcases all their dishes which are placed on a rotational basis, it would still have been good to showcase different types of desserts apart from their ruby cocoa selection.
Nonetheless, my friends and I spent a good 3H at the buffet and we enjoyed our evening immensely as the variety and quality of the food overall was top-notch. My only other gripe would be that the clearance of plates may have been a tad too slow, though the staff were more than happy to provide cups of decaf coffee, skimmed milk and soya milk (Note: The soya milk tasted really peculiar, I think it may have been UHT soya milk?).
Price: 8/10
