This is something interesting that I've never seen before at hotel buffet. Now they have a photo tag to tell you the main dishes are created by which chef. I thought this is a very good idea to let guests know which chef is cooking the dishes! :D


Overall Impression: The service here was alright. To me, they offer extensive food selection. I can see Seasonal tastes has put in great effort to improve in their food selection, presentation and quality, compared to my previous visits.  

As for the dessert selection, the texture of those whole cake were quite tough, hope to see fluffy cake instead! The ambience is very relaxing and comfortable with the sea view. This restaurant is really huge that can hold big gatherings. So if you like spacious and high-rise hotel restaurant with sea view, adequate food quantity and quality, this is the place for you!

Visited on 27 May 2018 (Sun). 10 SCOTTS exudes an aura of elegance and relaxation with its contemporary decor complemented by a breathtaking view of the cascading waterfall. This place is quite 'atas' so i would suggest that you not dress too casually.  

The ambience here is those 'tai-tai style' of high tea with comfy sofa and cushions for you to couch. It makes you feel right at home (Residential-Style Lounge)



These are the best seats to see cascading waterfall by the window but sad to say that there is no table for 2 at this area, here are for big groups..

Chicken Stew



Note: There is an oven here to keep the scones, curry puffs, their signature crab cakes & spring rolls warm. The chef will usually help us to take the items. But if the chef is not around, you can help yourselves to take the items here.







Their Signature:
Crispy Blue Swimmer Crab Cakes, Sauce Remoulade 



Display Fridge


Hummus, Chickpeas, Extra Virgin Olive Oil 


California Maki, Wasabi, Soy Sauce, Pickled Ginger 


Smoked Norwegian Atlantic Salmon
Sour Cream, Caper Berries, Dill 


Seafood On Ice:
Freshly Shucked Oysters / Poached Black Mussels / Clams


Note: Although the clams here are not big and look very normal, but I have to tell you, the clams here are the BEST among other hotels! Very juicy, tender & tasty!


Ice Cream & Sherbet

Vanilla with Pretzel Ice-Cream (Left)
Summer Berry Sherbet (Right)



2-Tier Stand
Top Tier: 8 Dessert Selections
Bottom Tier: Fruits
(All are Refillable)


This is the only dessert that I like from the top tier... The chocolate looked very rich but tasted quite light with pandan layer at the bottom. A very unique dessert!




Cappuccino & Latte

Mocha



2 Types of  Extra Coffee (Pass Around)
The waitresses will go around to pass you some drip coffee brewed for hours from South America. Black Coffee and Coffee with Milk. I still prefer the black coffee! 


Beverages Menu (Free-Flow)







Overall Impression: The service here was quite good but not warm... Plates were cleared regularly, food and beverages were served promptly. But... Compared to my previous visit few years back, the food quality and dessert selection seemed to be lacklustre now. I would rather not to have the seafood selection, but instead give us premium quality food & dessert selection as this is a high tea buffet. 

The price is a little steep for a high tea buffet (Due to the additional seafood selection). I wished the price can maintain below SGD45 without the seafood selection, moreover this is a high tea buffet! But overall ambience + experience is a good one. Still worth a visit to have the tai tai style of high tea! :)
