Very nice Latte!
This is 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!
Dessert Station in 2015
The dessert station has very limited desserts which was quite disappointing to me as a super dessert lover. Anyway on the 2nd tier, the taste of the blueberry, brownie and strawberry cake were very normal, nothing to shout about.. But thankfully the below 3 types of dessert has won my heart!
My Favourite Desserts Below from 2015
Dark Chocolate Mousse
The dark chocolate mousse was very rich yet satisfying for chocolate lovers. I'm always delighted to see cookie crumbs added to dessert! Great dessert!
Banoffee Tart
I can't stop going back for this awesome chocolate tart! It was so crunchy with nice powdered sugar and some nuts atop.
Pina Colada
The Pina Colada here consists of pineapple pudding with coconut flakes and some mango cubes atop. This is a cooling and tropical dessert that was rare to see at buffet. Thumbs up for this wonderful dessert!
Bread & Butter Pudding
Oh I've forgotten to try this!
Overall Impression: The service here was quite good except the staff were lack of smile. 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, the standard has dropped compared to 2015. Perhaps the crowd for lunch buffet now were not much so the desserts they provide now were more to simple types rather than those great ones that I had in 2015. But overall it's still quite a value for money lunch buffet given that the food quality was good, as well as they serve very nice coffee here (Unlike some hotels serve those instant coffee machine) Their great coffee and tea were actually part of my reason to keep coming back here for a simple, affordable, yet quality buffet.
This place is more on "Quality" rather than "Quantity buffet so don't expect wide selection of food here. The selection was much much lesser compared to other hotels. But to me, it's definitely enough to fill my stomach. I really like the quiet and cosy ambience here! I'll definitely be back again & again! Haha!
After the lunch or dinner buffet, you still can hop over to Aqua Luna for some drinks - All at same floor, so convenient! (Photo below)
Note: Their popular Truffle Butter, Yorkshire Pudding, English Trifle Dessert and higher quality cuts will only be available during dinner buffet! You can view their Dinner Buffet Here!

Aqua Luna
Aqua Luna which is just outside The Carvery, is an alfresco bar situated on the infinity pool. I think this is really cool, isn't it?! Watch spectacular sunsets over lush tropical foliage at Aqua Luna, the swim-up bar and savour delicious bar nibbles paired with specialty mojitos, martinis and margaritas concocted by their mixologists.
