Located on the 4th storey of Holiday Inn Atrium. Location is convenient. Just a minute walk from Havelock MRT Exit 5 (Thomson-East Coast Line).
Noteworthy to share, there's no complimentary carpark coupons here. Carpark was about S$6.
From what I see in others' reviews, the menu for Lunch & Dinner is almost the same.
Food selection is large, but also hit or miss.
What I felt was good when I visited on this day:
- Chicken rice
- Satay (Particularly chicken ones)
- Prawns (highly recommended. Fresh!)
- Abalone
- Laksa
- Sayur Lodeh
Staffs were attentive & helpful in clearing the plates. However I noticed place might be a little short staffed. Some live stations will have one chef shuffling between two to three stations (e.g the Chicken rice, Laksa, Sashimi). That didn't produce a positive dining experience as sometimes there was no one there to attend to you at the station.
Next, despite heating elements like the pot or lamps, I felt some dishes were lukewarm/ cold. E.g the otah, and especially the grilled sambal squid (give that a miss. It didn't tasted fresh, it was cold too). After they replace a new batch of it, where you could see steam from the dish, it didn't tasted really hot. And the texture was kinda off.
Beef options were also lacking. Didn't see any.
Vegetables & salad bar was fresh.
The lobster was really small.
Having said that, I think the main star of the show was the seafood on ice. Prawn was perfect. Fresh, succulent, slightly sweet.
Consistency was also a factor. My friend got the ice cream bread DOUBLE the chunk of my ice cream.
Overall, dining experience was still awesome. Good place to unwind after a long week at work with your friends/ colleagues as it's Halal certified.
Pretty value for money this time as there were having a 1-For-1 promotion when you pay with DBS or CitiBank.
