International Buffet
-
jedamum:
We went for the 1 for 1. Wouldn't have bother going if we were informed that no oysters will be served. Comparatively, we prefer the food spread offered by Sakura as we like their herbal prawn soup, BBQ chili squid, hotate, baked scallop. Yum. Maaybe our palate not international enough. Hee hee.[/quote]So do they mean that even w/o the 1 for 1, they also do not serve oysters ?
I can understand yr frustration n disappointment ....Augmum:
[quote=\"jedamum\"]Traders hotel cafebiz manager confirmed that they have not been serving oysters for their dinner buffet for some weeks already. And yet their staff confirmed that they serve oyster for buffet when I called them up to inquire n made reservations last Friday! Imagine how disappointed we were as we would have opt for another restaurant that serves oyster after making plans for this evening's dinner(babysitting plans etc). We learned from the manager that we should have taken down the staff's name when we make inquiries. Heck!
Can anyone recommend somewhere else that serves oyster? Think next time i'll give swissotel merchant court my biz instead of cafebiz as the formal serves tasty durian pengnet rather than frozen ones from cafebiz. Angry I didn't get to eat oysters! :mad:
Those long legs crab they served were a saver to the otherwise disappointing meal as both the scallops n mussels served were tasteless.
when one cant have the food item which one specifically crave to eat in a particular buffet.
Btw, did u go for the 1 for 1 deal ( fr Mon- Wed) or the full-price buffet ?
i heard that for the 1 for 1 deal, std and food variety has lessen, wonder is it true ??
I understand fr their staff that for the 1 for 1,
which is only fr Mon to Wed, there is no sea food avail.
Also read fr other forums that the spread and std of food is diffErent.
Btw, would like to check with u , do they still serve the grilled big Tiger prawns when u were there ( live station) ?? -

Is this the newly renovated Rendezvous? Tried their hi-tea buffet some time back (before their reno), but didn't find it fantastic. But the range that u described above sounds yummy!!Augmum:
[quote=\"fightingmom\"]Anyone tried the buffet spread @ Melt Cafe (Mandarin Oriental) ? The seafood spread is rather good and they offer BBQ food (weekend only - Fridays & Saturdays only). The dessert spread also quite good .. My DD loves the chocolate fondue
If yr dd luv chocolate fondue, can try Rendezvous Straits Cafe....
they have both the dark ( i mean brown) and white chocolate fondue ......
Oh ya, their cupcakes, chocolate fudge cakes also very good....
And for durian lovers, they have durain pengat, durian fudge cakes and durian eclairs too..... :love: :please:
Omg.....feel like eating now...... Lol....
[/quote]Yes, i went there after the renovation.
U're right, had been there too before their renovation, found nothing to rave abt,
till i read some other food bloggers' reviews after their renovation.....
Indeed, there is great improvement of food spread and found my fav durian stuff there....... :please: -
Augmum,
the manager told us that oysters no stock n they have not been serving for 3 weeks. Asked them why they did not update on their facebook n he said thank us for our feedback.
you better call to confirm. Cos who knows later they ask u which manager told u donβt have cos when we called last Fri, the staff told us over the phone have then we went n manager said donβt have n asked for staff name that said have. Donβt forget to jot down their names. -

I dont think i will visit them anytime soon, since pple were saying the 1 for 1 is of diff std, so better dont try....
And their usual Adult price , i think is at $62, which there are some better places.
Ya, a good reminder to take down the the staff's name when making equries n reservation,
i always forget to do so.... -
