Remember in january when K.S treated me and Tina to hi tea at Min Jiang at Goodwood Park hotel? Well, today, i returned the treat and after a long search high and low for good hi-tea buffets in posh settings at a price i can afford, I finally settled for the Grand Hyatt's Scotts Lounge. And i am amazed at how Tai-Tai i looked in the photo above...
The selection of food is not very wide, with only a single meat item (roast lamb), mushroom soup, 4 kinds of sandwiches and shrimp cocktail. What was good was: the desserts with a chocolate fountain with gorgeous red sweet strawberries, and selection of at more than 5 kinds of cakes and a crepe station offering only crepe with bananas.
The ultimate highlight had to be the tea selection: 16 different kinds for you to choose from the tea station so you really can get to try all 16 if you are extremely thirsty. I love the strawberries and the lamb. The shrimp cocktail was also delicious. As for the tea, well, there were some miss (Tina's vanilla) and also, i loved the lamb bt tina kept insisting that she rather have duck cos she's probably pissed about my previous blog entry calling her 'atas' for ordering duck at Prego's. Try harder lady cos there ain't no class for duck at the grand hyatt. haha...
The shrimp cocktail: i had like 3 or 4, KS loved it too.

The roast lamb station at the end of the day...
Our table after we are filled and like what KS said "so full till we nearly regurgitated". The val capacio which i told Tina (but no comments were provided so i guess it sucked)
The 16 tyoes of teas with small sniffing bottles (KS realised that the sniffing bottles are same as those in our Sec. Sch. days in the science labs containing acids)
I had 3 tyoes i think, of teas: Cassie (a blend), healthy blend of greens, and ooling
The berries are sweet and some of them are huge!
The cakes station
The chocolate fountain station with 4 kinds of tems: biscotti, mushmellows, rock melons and strawberries
Overall, the cafe is nice and with the classy victorian setting, it's pretty good to chill out. The price is kindda reasonable (33 with taxes) and I am fine with the amount of food offered despite Tina thinking there being too little offering (i mean that girl stays in ultra heartland Yishun and i guess she just really love more bang for her buck). Like Fullerton's seafood buffet over the Line at Shangri La, I think quality of food matters more than quantity, and so happen, the food at this hi-tea buffet suits me more rather than giving me a huge selection and end up eating only a few items. Ok, and the price is really reasonable too cos is just darn hard to get 28+++ buffets now in 5 star hotels.
