Green Tea Crepe
It's not easy to find green tea crepe in hotel buffets, so I was extremely delighted to see this here! But do note that their menu is on rotation so you will only see this when you're lucky! Otherwise it will be the normal plain crepe. I have tried both green tea and the plain one, indeed green tea crepe has a more fragrant taste!
Chocolate / Almond
Green Tea / Black Sesame
So shiok to have green tea crepe with green tea ice-cream! For all green tea lovers out there! :-D
This is the interactive kitchen where they prepare our main course dishes!

My Choice of Main Course:
Duck Leg Confit
As we're not very big eaters, so we only ordered 1 Main Course to share, since we still have the buffet items. Their menu for main courses are on rotation. If you happen to see the menu with duck leg confit, don't forget to try it! It was crisp at the outside and melt-in-the-mouth inside! This cost you only additional of $10. What a steal....
Additional order of 1 Latte & 1 Cappucino
at $8++ each
1 of my favourite coffee brands - illy coffee!

My Choice of Main Course on 12 Aug 2017:
Steamed Black Cod Fillet
The chef was very good at controlling the temperature of the steamed black cod. The skin was very crisp, with extremely silky smooth cod. By looking at the photo, you can see how tender it was... Complemented so well with the lemon butter sauce! Awesome!!!
Overall Impression: We have visited 2 times, and both our visits were very nice and warm as we were served by the manager, Athiban! On top of being attentive and efficient, he was also always very cheerful and likes to joke. This made our dining experiences very enjoyable!
Overall the service was great, except it sometimes took them a bit long to clear some of our plates whereby the restaurant was not full house. The food quality was beyond our expectations and we could feel that they had put thought into the items they served. Though the selection was not really big, you can taste the quality. I think its enough to make me feel so full too. Ambience was elegant and comfortable and the service staff were friendly and polite.
If you wish to find a place with small scale semi-buffet + reasonable price + high quality food + great hotel service and ambience, I think Ash & Elm has it all. But do note that this is a semi buffet lunch without seafood, which is why the price is more affordable. I will definitely recommend Ash & Elm to all my readers here!
*Highly Recommended*
