Tried to plan coming here a while ago but the it was difficult making inquiries by email to the Kerry Team.Anyway went here in the end and the staff were amazing and very helpful.
The food variety was a bit boring so ended up having lots of salad that night.

Maple and Crab Season

Thankfully the beautiful autumn is here and Christmas is coming soon.
The best thing is the cooler weather in Hong Kong which makes me more energetic.
At La Scala, they are doing the Maple and Crab buffet with Augmented reality experience if you download the app!!
Every guest that dines here will get a baked surf clam with snow crab paste when they present the complimentary dish card to the counter.
As well as the seafood which there were so many other things to eat like Chinese roast.
The congee was my favourite as they cook it with the crab which gives it a lovely flavour.
In the dessert section, there was so much to choose from but I loved the maple puffs which were crispy and not too sweet.

[Review 6814] New hotel buffet on the block @ The Farmhouse 咖啡廳

The Farmhouse is the latest new hotel buffet on the East side of Hong Kong located inside the new hotel near North Point MTR station.
The Farmhouse is quite spacious with two sides to the buffet.
Near the entrance, you will find the desserts, seafood, sashimi and drinks counter and the best thing is that they offer fresh juices where you get to choose fruit/veg from the counter.

There is a rotating freezer with lots of icecreams to choose from.

On the other side, you will find the cooked section with curries, foie gras, Hong Kong style snacks such as fish balls and dimsum etc, so the buffet is pretty comprehensive.

Not many buffets have yoghurts, but the do here.

To summarize, it is a nice place to get together with a good mix of options from HK local street snacks to international fare.


Hong Kong streets snacks:

Seafood:

Dimsum:

My favourite had to be the freshly made pancakes filled with quality tart cherries.

I was really glad they had babybel cheese too!

It's been a while since I have last been here for dinner buffet.
The buffet selection is quite Chinese which is great for the old and young while tourists can sample everything from noodles to dishes.

The roast beef was pink and tender, just how I liked it.
On the side, was a selection of mustards and delicious gravies.
There is plenty of seafood which is a must for Hong Kongers as they are just concerned in  whether it is worth their money.
In the Japanese section, they had these cute little bowls of donburi!


For desserts, they have a range of Haagen Daaz icecream and shaved ice.


The ice is flavoured by the syrups and pineapple was my favourite.

As well as the buffet dessert selection, they are also serving classic temptations which include the banana split, cherries jubilee and strawberry sundae.
I love the Cherries Jubilee which was a whole plate of alcohol infused cherries with icecream.

[Review 6754] Oysters and Dessert @ 薈景 Congress Plus

There is always something to remember at Congress Plus.
This time is was oysters and desserts.
As you can see, the oysters are fresh and glistening so I had quite few since I have been deprived of fresh oysters.
They were quite salty which can be balanced by the lemon but I liked them just how they were.
The dessert section was impressive as there were so many items that I liked especially the Earl Grey Madeleine dipped in Chocolate.
It had a strong Earl Grey flavour.
I also liked the Banana caramel pudding which was more like a cake with caramel on the side for you to drizzle.
Quite puzzled why it is called a pudding as the texture was more like a light sponge.
Then there were these pretty jellies with edible pansies and gold flakes which were mesmerizing and too beautiful to eat.
Anyway, there is the usual seafood and they even had lobster tail robatakayi which is a must for Hong Kongers!!!!
To summarize, I was glad to catch up on my oyster deprivation, Indian curry and desserts!!!

It has been at least 5 years since I had buffet here!
The thing that hasn't changed is its popularity as it is always packed with people.They have oysters, lobsters, Alaskan crab legs, sushi and sashimi hence the reason why Hong Kongers love it.
My favourite is the Indian selection because I just love curries.
All of them were quite spicy and it was good they had soft and fluffy Indian Rice.
Tried the sushi which was fresh especially the salmon.
On the Chinese side, I had the Korean Ginseng soup which was really impressive as it had the glutinous rice in the soup.
Left some room for dessert as they had so many Movenpick flavours and toppings for pancakes.
I love the tangerine pieces and dinky eggtarts which were not too sweet.
Will definitely come again.
