Orchard Cafe Buffet Dinner

We had our complimentary buffet dinner at Orchard Hotel's Orchard Cafe. Got ZJ along but the other brothers were not available. So I invited some of our relatives and also Nut to join us for this dinner. The buffet restaurant is on the first floor of the hotel and the food variety is of the peranakan and international style. There were some peranakan dishes which I didn't try, and some local favourites such as satay, laksa, prawn mee, bak kut teh. The seafood section contained the normal shellfish galore like oyster, clams, prawns, crabs. Quite a good mix of food you would find at good buffet places.

There's interesting to try there too. Usually they have durian pengat, but you have it everywhere else. Over at Orchard Cafe, we had a chance to try the cempadak pengat, a replacement for the durian pengat when it's not available. The sweet aroma and taste might not be everyone's liking, but if you're a durian pengat fan, you'll probably enjoy it too.

ZJ, the foodie, attacks the seafood section first. He sure knows how to enjoy his food.

Wide variety of seafood available at the seafood bar.

Look at the beautiful colours of the prawns and crab pincers.

My favourite bak kut teh.

My favourite laksa.

There's chilli crab too. And otah, as well as roast meat.

A good assortment of desserts is available too.
There's also cempedak pengat (bottom), a replacement for durian pengat not available on that day.

Freshly peng-ed and mouth-watering satay.

Had our fill. Satisfied dinner!
