 I love the abundance of natural light from the glass window. Very cosy restaurant!

Newly refurbished interior made the whole restaurant much brighter & calm.

Pickles Included Now (Free Of Charge)
  






Braised Bird Nest with Truffle Egg White In Superior Broth  (One Serving Per Diner)

This is their popular signature soup here! An exquisite broth with premium ingredients that was well balanced, not too starchy broth with a hint of truffle, egg white and some bird nest on it. This is the best premium quality soup option among other soup offered here. Must Order!





Golden "Mantou" stuffed with Spicy Crab Meat (One Piece Per Diner)

The exterior was very crispy and the crab meat was indeed quite spicy, eat it while it's hot - Very Shiok! One of my favourites here! Additional $2.80++ per piece!




Crispy Honey Vnaigrette Sliced Sea Bass
This is a very great appetizer here! Must Try!



Steamed Green Tea Flavoured Custard Bun


Love green tea custard bun!




Baked Fresh Milk Bun

I like this dim sum! Flaky exterior snow bun with not too sweet smooth milk custard. A very healthy and nice dim sum!





Steamed Osmanthus Flavoured Barbecued Pork Bun

I thought this was creative, first time trying char siew bao with osmanthus! Overall the main char siew taste was still there, not too sweet, added a touch of mild osmanthus in it to make the overall taste a little more aromatic. Nice bun but It would be good if the bun can be more fluffy.





Pan-fried Seafood Bean Curd Roll
I realised that Jade restaurant is not good in fried bean curd roll. It has never been nice since few years back till now. Very dry and decent taste.





Sautéed Diced Chicken with Lemongrass and Dried Chilli Vinaigrette
The diced chicken was quite tender with a tad sour lemongrass sauce... Nice dish!




Steamed Pork Siew Mai with Abalone
Juicy siew mai topped with tasty mini abalone! 




Crispy Prawn Dumpling




Steamed Crystal Shrimp Dumplings




Deep-fried Taro Paste wrapped with Truffle and Mushroom


Love the crispy flaky exterior with juicy, aromatic truffle and mushroom combination! Yummy!!



Braised Rice Noodles with Seafood In Silken Egg Gravy
They have very nice hor fun here with fresh slices of fish!



Oven Baked Egg Tart
Their egg tart was not good as usual. The custard was not that fragrant and the tart was not crisp.




Signature Cold Dessert: Pomelo Mango Sago
Strawberry Jelly



Hot Dessert of the day on 29 July 2017: 
Water Chestnut

Love their water chestnut!




Hot Dessert of the day on 7 Aug 2015: 
Yam Paste Sago


It was not too sweet with very aromatic yam paste taste!




Overall Impression in 2015: 1 thing I don't really understand.. Usually we were either the first or 2nd to enter the restaurant and the first or 2nd to place our order for 2 pax. But the initial waiting time for the food was still very long everytime (Standard Initial Waiting Time of 20-25 mins) I would say the waiting time was quite ridiculous. 

Note: When we revisited on 29 July 2017 (Sat), their waiting time for the food now was much shorter compared to the past few years with so much people complaining about it. Our waiting time was only about 10mins which we were very satisfied! I hope they can continue with this great improvement!

Service was inconsistent -  Some days were very good while some days were average, so don't expect them to refill your cup of tea promptly. Most of the food quality here were really good while some still needs improvement. Though it's quite stressful to dine + food waiting + talking, everything to be done within 1hr and 45mins, overall it's still quite a Value for Money dim sum buffet with 5 star hotel elegant ambience!

Our Choice: Tomato Broth and Superior Chicken
We have made the right choice. Tomato broth was naturally sweet and light while the superior chicken was with natural goodness! Usually you'll find steamboat soup with many MSG, but here you can taste it's without MSG - Very healthy clear soup!










Overall Impression: I always pass by this hotel frequently, but I just wouldn't dare to try this place as the hotel looks old and unattractive. But I was very wrong.... I didn't expect this restaurant to look presentable!

I have nothing much to complain about the steamboat and dessert quality. They even have the whole white promfet and frozen oysters which is rare to see in steamboat buffet! Food were very fresh too! There is wide variety of dessert besides the steamboat items. Quality Food with not bad hotel service and ambience. Everything turned out to be much better than I expected. We really had a splendid and super filling dinner at The Buffet restaurant!

Note: The Buffet do not open for lunch on Sat and Sun.
