[quote=\"auntieM\"]DH lazy sort, so leave it be..

The oyster up to 4 each time.. and my DH found them not to good ...
Won't be heading there again that soon..

Haha, if can save $$, dont think i will be lazy to question them.
Moreover, it was rather obvious that they had mistakenly charged yr kid at Adult price.

That's my DH.. ..
Next time will try to remember..
I wonder if it is deliberate, if really have kids price.. :evil:[/quote]I guess nowadays kids grow really fast. Like my DD, she is tall and \"big size\" for her age and doesn't look like a 12 year old. So I always check my bill and if she was charged adult price, I will flash her student pass @ the counter.

However, this \"privilege\" will end by this year ..

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.

I can understand yr frustration n disappointment ....
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 ??

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.

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....

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!!

The Melt is the best i've tried so far. I've tried, Rendevous, Ellenborough, Fullerton, Marina Mandarin, Greenhouse, Shang (The Line), traders, etc..... . I still prefer The Melt any time.

The other place i think it is not too bad is The Oscar (Conrad). Good value!!

I heard the hi-tea at St. Regis is good but i havent had a chance to try it yet

Tried the Melt before!! Agree, it's fantastic. :hi5:
