Buffet Dinner at the ‘Clove Restaurant’

I met up with some friends for dinner this past Wednesday past. The birthday girl got to pick the restaurant and we ended up at the Clove Restaurant in the Swissotel hotel for a buffet dinner.

The buffet was a fusion of international flavours. As buffets go, there were a lot of food. I had a nibble of some of the dishes, and I was already uncomfortable with too much food. Buffets are good for people who have big appetites. For people with small appetites like me, I find it not worth the money. Of course, I got to sample all the different dishes they had on the buffet spread.

The main buffet counter

Asian cuisine

Salad, and cold cuts

Coffee/Tea, and fruits

Desserts

They had a good crowd, and it was only a weekday. I imagine they would be a lot busier on weekends.

The food was all right – nothing exceptional. I like the setting though – the high ceiling makes the place very spacious. It was “designed to evoke the charm of a glasshouse, where natural light and a serene ambiance create a captivating atmosphere.” I feel they have achieved that.

The service was good. Staff cleared your empty plates almost immediately. I have seen places where diners had to stack their empty plates because no one came to clear them.

Anyway, we all had a good evening, going leisurely through the buffet spread as we got caught up with each other on the latest.
