Rendezvous Grand Hotel after its renovation looks much better. They have this buffet place - Straits Cafe, where I always wonder if it's worth trying. I went on a Sat evening so it's $50 per pax for a weekend dinner. Be sure to make reservation. I didn't as it was a last minute decision, luckily there was vacant seats for 2. Phew~
The spread is decent and those were food with substance. The taste and appearance were satisfying, my favourite items like oysters, boston lobster, long-leg crabs, and durian pengat were available! Of course there are more things like grilled stingray, squids, big head prawns etc.
Cold seafood section
Grilled food corner
Sushi and Sashimi section. Oysters are opened here on the spot too when ordered hence very fresh.
Range of cooked food section
Salad corner
There were some local fare such as Laksa, Roti Prata and Teh Tarik! Their nutritious soups were nice too. See below for images!
'Xi yang cai' soup
Fresh Oysters! We had quite a number of these.
Huge head prawns = very sinful
Boston lobsters, long legs crab and conch.
Salmon sashimi
Another favourite corner of mine - DESSERTS!
Durian cake, sorry didn't managed to capture the whole cake hence just one piece of not so 'nice looking' but yummy one.
Durian pengat(I ate so much of them) and durian crepe.
Overall, although the pricing is more to the steep side, some of the varieties make it worthwhile though. With DBS card, you will enjoy 20% discount.
