What: Local favourites and hawker delights are the mainstays of this hotel¡¯s ¡°go local¡± buffet lunch. There are live stations serving perennial favourites such as mee siam, laksa, char kway teow, hokkien mee, oyster omelette and kway chap (available on rotation basis). The main buffet lineup also features Thai, Indonesian, Indian and tze char specialities, and a seafood counter beckoning with super fresh sashimi, prawns and abalone.
Don¡¯t miss: The kway chap deserves special mentionCthe flat noodles are smooth and ¡®slurpilicious¡¯, and the soup comes with a pleasant herbal flavour and thicker than what you normally get at the hawker stalls. The zingy homemade chilli dip is a must-have too. The ¡°you chai¡± (vegetables with oyster sauce) counter is where you can go for a simple, delicious plate of greens. The chef will blanche your choice of vegetables before lacing it with shallot oil, oyster sauce and fried garlic bits.
Whyit¡¯s value for money: You may balk at the $39 ($22 for kids) price initially, considering that it¡¯s just for local fare, but when you actually check out the immense variety which includes a taste of Asia, you know you¡¯ll be getting more bang for your buck.
