Walk down memory lane at their alfresco area with old school games below:







My favourite childhood snack - Tutu Kueh! Their version of tutu kueh was quite nice but I personally prefer those brown coconut filling instead of orange coconut, as the brown sugar taste will be more fragrant.








                               



And of cos the main lead - Live Durian Station!


Gloves were provided without dirtying our hands!



Free Flow Coffee & Tea

Overall Impression: I was really impressed with the idea of setting up different booths at the alfresco area to offer childhood games + local snacks and durians! The only downside at the alfresco is there were not enough lighting which made the whole place quite dim. Food quality was up to my expectations with attentive service.

Although this National day buffet program was over, but you can probably start planning Christmas Eve Buffet here. I'm sure they will make full use of the alfresco area to offer surprises to you all! :)

This is something interesting that I've never seen before at hotel buffet. Now they have a photo tag to tell you the main dishes are created by which chef. I thought this is a very good idea to let guests know which chef is cooking the dishes! :D


Overall Impression: The service here was alright. To me, they offer extensive food selection. I can see Seasonal tastes has put in great effort to improve in their food selection, presentation and quality, compared to my previous visits.  

As for the dessert selection, the texture of those whole cake were quite tough, hope to see fluffy cake instead! The ambience is very relaxing and comfortable with the sea view. This restaurant is really huge that can hold big gatherings. So if you like spacious and high-rise hotel restaurant with sea view, adequate food quantity and quality, this is the place for you!
