The appetizers get a festive twist with dishes like this Turkey Salad, served with cranberry sauce, I personally enjoyed this cold appetizer very much!

The Apple Coleslaw was colorful and eye catching, plus tasted very refreshing too!

Another interesting appetizer would be this Mushroom Salad. A variety of smoked mushrooms served with shredded cheese – a perfect combination.

Carrot Soup

Onto the mains, there is a good variety of dishes to please the most diverse of palates. We particularly enjoyed the Beef Osso Buco which had robust flavours and tender chunks of meat. Meanwhile, the Beef with Capsicum may look rather ordinary but was utterly delicious. The slices of beef were very tender while the capsicums still retained its crunch, giving the dish a variety of textures. Meanwhile the Oyster Au Gratin was also a crowd pleaser.

Turkey Gratin with Lemon Mayo was a pleasant festive twist. Surprisingly the turkey meat still retained much of its moisture and was not overly dry as I would have thought.

I also enjoyed the Grilled fish with salsa sauce. The fresh salsa was tangy and delightful. I’m happy to note that the mains had a variety of healthier options such as this dish.

One of the highlights of the buffet is the new BBQ grill at Taste Cafe using Lava Stones specially imported all the way from Indonesia. Succulent meats and seafood are available to grill on the spot by the chefs. The lava stones impart a unique smokey flavour to the meats & seafood.
