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!

The view outside The Carvery

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.

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!
