Dessert Station
Opera Cake
Hazelnut Mousse with Apricot Compote
Lemon Meringue Tartlet
Tiramisu in Jug
Their version of Tiramisu was quite different from the usual Tiramisu that we have seen. Their Tiramisu includes some grass jelly cubes with cookie crumbs on it, the mascarpone cheese a tad too creamy and infused with liquor in a pipette for you to squeeze how much alcohol you want. Perhaps I'm not used to this type of innoactive Tiramisu, so I find it not bad only...

My Selection of Main Course from Semi-Buffet Menu:
Roasted French Free-Range Yellow Chicken Supreme
This version of yellow chicken under the semi-buffet lunch menu (Photo above) is totally different from the yellow chicken under their Ala Carte menu (Photo below). Read fantastic reviews about this yellow chicken but turned out to be totally different and tasted quite badly so was rather disappointed. I would suggest you either order another Main Course or you order the Yellow Chicken from the Ala Carte menu instead. Do note that you need to pay $29++ if you ordered from A la Carte menu but you'll get a better quality as per the photo below.
French Free-Range Yellow Chicken Supreme (Ala Carte)
Seasonal Souffle (Pistachio Souffle) $15++
I have requested for an additional order of their seasonal souffle few days before my arrival as the chef needs ample time to prepare this. It was a Pistachio Souffle! Their souffle was really fluffy with very aromatic pistachio taste, complemented well with the green tea ice-cream!

This was a surprise from their pastry team for our anniversary celebration! They look so pretty and creative isn't it? Love it!!! :)
They will present the receipt in this presentable card!
Overall Impression: The service was very attentive that day as there was no crowd. The buffet selection of appetizers and desserts at the buffet counter were very little since the price is not high.
Their appetizers did not interest us. Main Course was disappointing. Only the desserts were slightly better. Ambience was nice, this place will be good for special occasion celebration during dinner as the place will transform into a very romantic ambience with the lightings and more to a fine dining place. Heard that their Ala Carte food were much better!
