As Mum's birthday falls on a weekday, we decided to celebrate it earlier @ The Line on Sunday. Although today is the final of F1 race, luckily Shangri-La hotel was not so near Marina area hence everything was still as per normal.
As we approached the hotel, there were plenty of staffs standby at the entrance to greet you to make you feel welcomed. The Line is located at one escalator down from the lobby. From the first glance at the entrance, we can see how spacious the buffet area was. They use mainly orange and white theme which is very cozy and trendy. It's international based cuisine and has over 16 culinary stations to choose from. i noticed they have put a lot of effort on the food dressing which make everything looks very appetizing.
At the seafood section, there's chefs stationed there to help you open the oysters on the spot. This is to maintain the freshness in it. Same for the Japanese corner, instead of placing the ready-cut Sashimi on the display, we have to order from them. Make sure to indicate how much you want as each serving is very little portion.
Another section is the Chinese dim sum, they have quite a number of selections of those usual dim sum we know. I personally like their mushroom with prawn and fried prawn dumpling.
They also have local favourites such as satay, roast pork/duck, charsiew, rojak etc, Indian cuisine such as mutton, prata, curry etc., Western cuisine such as pizza, prime ribs, bacons, roast lambs, goose liver etc. Too many to list! Simply have a little of each will definitely make you very bloated.
What's more, their attractive and very appetizing desserts will definitely pulls you over even if you think you had enough. The choices are so wide that you simple want to have each of everything. From chocolate fondue to pastries and cakes, local Peranakan kuehs are also available and not to forget, ice cream with different flavours and you get to add additional toppings you desire.
Another thing to mention is their prompt service in plate clearing and drinks refilling. Very efficient and always end with a smile.
Currently they have a promotion 39 where you need to make reservation online here to enjoy their 39% off food bill on all menus, house pour red & white wines, "Xiang" beer and soft drinks.
I think I've had too much, should ban myself from buffet for the time being haha.
