this is about as good as uob one for one deals get
slow at refilling oysters and seafood
Only 8pm and the main dishes are emptied out- went for almost 20mins without food as we waited for them to replenish them
Good variety of desserts from chocolate cake, kuehs and fondues. My favourite is the durian mousse dessert – fluffy and light texture, durian flavor is good without being too creamy or sweet.
Bread pudding is a little dry. can be better.
Like the appetizers as well, bacon & thai vermicelli cocktail mixes.
My sister ordered a plate of salad for 13 bucks and some of the veggies were yellow (not fresh) – requested for a change & they forgot about it. Had to ask them again after 40mins.

It was still around CNY period and we decided to have our gals gathering at Orchard Cafe for their lunch buffetUpon arriving, i prepared a special yu sheng for us to lou hei! It was my 1st lou hei of the year!The roasted pork is great, especially when dipped with the sour plum sauce.
Love the quiche as well!My 1st coffee of the day! Not too bad, unlike some hotels where their coffee and tea are very diluted!Love the durian puree dessert the most! Will definitely come back for more! Spending: Approximately SGD 35(Lunch)
After watching Channel 8’s Buffetlicious programme, this was really tempting me.Eventually we found the chance to try it with the long weekend.I called for reservation, coming Saturday and Monday booking were full, sounds really popular.We have no choice to have it on Sunday, anyway, it didn’t really matter to us.During weekend and PH prices are slightly higher with the same food serve.
We reached there 5 minutes earlier but they could only open for seating at 3pm sharp.We saw some early diners were waiting too.It was a busy day as it was almost full house.We were arranged for a table for 2 along the aisle behind the big column.Quickly browse the food, there aren’t many choices though, quite standard high tea type of food, cold and warm dishes, mini sandwiches and desserts.I was looking forward to trying the Philippines Lala(giant clam) and durian penget.They serve the normal clam as well, it has to compare these 2 types of clams than ones would know the winner was Philippines lala, it has the natural sweetness, texture wise it was chewy, not rubbery.Pretty soon lala was empty, we noted that the speed for refill was inefficient, there was a bowl of lala shell without meat, they stayed there for long and not a single service crew noted with replacement!After a substantial time then it has replaced.Salmon open sandwich was popular too, it served two times only.Deep fry chicken wing was featured on TV too, it was a let down to me, it wasn’t crispy at all and I felt that it left there for long time.
I didn\'t eat the rest of the cooked food as they didn\'t attract me.I was looking forward to eating durian penget, first taste~not so sweet, second taste~actually it was quite bland!
It was a pricey high tea for my judgement!

I attended a year end function in 2010 at Orchard Hotel. The event was held at the
Ballroom.Usually, no one takes interest in the dessert.However, when it comes to thus last dish, it arouse my curiousity me as it is different in serving.It comes in a small bowl. At first, I will discard this last dish.However, gives this dish a chance.Whenthe dessert spoon touches my tongue.It gives a smoothing sensation.I found it would be egg cluster.However, when I read the name of the dish, it is named as Yam Creme Burlee with Pumkin Coulis\'.This dish completes the full meal course for the day.
Spending: Approximately SGD 20(Night Snack)
