Usually I don’t fancy much of the fried stuffs at buffeta because they tend to be just greasy without much flavour. The fried items here consisted of seafood roll, calamari, fish fingers and mushroom pizza. The calamari tasted the best among the lot. I might have left this plate out for too long as I was busy eating the other items and taking pictures, so the crunchiness wasn’t quite there. The mushroom pizza had a very thin crust. I suppose if served really hot, it might be quite crispy.

There was one section that served Japanese omelette with free flow bonito flakes and chawanmushi. Looking at the plate above, anyone could guess the bonito flakes were the lead compared to the omelette. The omelette was very bland but the bonito flakes were great! The chawanmushi was smooth but there was too much MSG in it that made it overly sweet. The butter yaki asari (clams) were too small and just tasted of melted butter.

I was a bit hesitant to take the salmon head at first because it looked kind of hideous to me but it was full of meat on the cheek which was the most tasty part and also on the underside. The negi miso tori (chicken with miso) and ginger pork belly weren’t great though. The batter on the ebi tempura was too thick and the prawns inside were actually quite skinny in size but I loved the lotus roots that were crunchy both inside and outside.

I just had to help myself to another serving of salmon and tako sashimi as they were too good to resist =) Look at how thick the salmon slices were!

Also, another serving of the blue swimmer crabs! My friend purposely used her chopsticks to grab the crab meat for a close up shot. Yes, they were that meaty! Yummy!

Desserts time! To be honest, I thought most desserts served at buffets were quite crappy, usually just a bunch of different cakes and puddings. I wasn’t disappointed at all here. Kiseki offered freshly made waffles and pancakes that had 3 types of fillings – red bean, sweet corn and peanut. There were also ice cream that were lighter in milk and sugar content compared to some ice cream brands so you wouldn’t get sickly from eating too much. There were a number of flavours but I took only the chocolate and cookies & cream one for my waffle. Plenty of condiments to choose from too. There were crushed peanuts, chocolate chips, raisins, maple syrup and rainbow sprinkles. The pomelo ice cream or sorbet tasted a bit weird though. Didn’t have any pomelo taste in them plus the consistency was like raw snow. What I loved best from the desserts section was the chocolate fondue. I had to admit this was the best chocolate fondue I had ever tried and was even better than some of the famous buffets in 5* hotels here. That’s what I call QUALITY chocolate! You could use the satay sticks provided to poke your favourite fruits (honeydew, watermelon, grapes, pineapple) and marshmallows, soak them in the chocolate sauce and then dip into the bowl of ice water. The result – the ultimate chocolatey sugar rush! Oh, and the chestnuts were very sweet and lovely too!
