Dessert Station

Layered with luscious thick custard and sponge cake soaked with Baileys, fresh fruits and berries are added to give a balance in acidity to the sweetness. Not to worry the alcohol was very mild and this dessert was so irresistible that made me went back for more!!

I'm always delighted to see Tiramisu in dessert buffet. This Tiramisu was so soft and light that made me went back for more too!



Carrot Cake

Harry's Choice

Many of us will be guessing - Who is Harry? Heard that Me Lee Kuan Yew like the chocolate mousse dessert at one of the events that he went to get more on his own! And Mr LKY's English name was Harry! So this is the reason why the chef name this chocolate mousse as Harry's choice - Mr LKY's favourite dessert! It was rich but very satisfying for chocolate lovers!


Mango Pudding
The mango pudding was topped with fresh real mango cubes and it was good!


Apple Crumble


Fruit Tarts

Free Flow of Coffee & Tea Selection
My Choice: Earl Grey Lavender Tea from Gryphon
It's a medium bodied tea with aroma of sweet lavender translates into bold floral top notes with notes of citrus, slightly astringent. A great tea to pair with the meal!


Overall Impression: The service here was very good, the plates were cleared and water was refilled promptly. The food quality here was quite high except the pizza were lacklustre, the ingredients were not tasty, a tad bland. As for the desserts, half were fantastic while the other half were decent.

Lunch Buffet Menu



They will give you a standard set of all these food at the first time before you place your own order. But if you do not eat some of the food provided, just tell them to take away.


Just fill up the items that you want on this order chit and pass to them.



Clear Chicken Soup
The soup was quite savoury.





They're famous for their fish glue (Those 4 in big oval plates). Their dumpling and wanton were very good!



I like this House Special Shrimp Ball. Very succulent and springy!


Overall Impression: Food quality here were mostly decent. Limited Lunch buffet selection here so if you prefer more variety, do go for their dinner buffet. Service was not bad. 

Coca is more traditional type of steamboat, unlike many other new steamboat restaurants with fancy and modern creation. So if you prefer traditional type of steamboat, you can try this place.
