For a start, there's a dress code, which is 'smart casual', but I've seen diners in t-shirt, shorts, and flipflops. And maybe there was a change of menu/ theme.. it's a 'Manila x Madrid' spread.. and I didn't like it. At the carving station, the beef option was a sirloin/ striploin, and it was very average. Also available at the station was 'roasted pork', which was pretty decent - skin was crispy but meat was well cooked/ juicy (especially with the recommended sauce). Besides these 2 items, I found no further highlights. All the barbecue meats like lamb, pork belly, chicken wings were left cold/ lukewarm, and the Chinese station of roast duck, poached chicken, braised pig trotters, teochew steamed fish were all underwhelming, but the 'double boiled' soup was not too bad. Snow crab was ok, I had 2 small legs of it. Laksa tasted like the usual/ familiar premixed type we get at most hawker centers these days. Indian station had some biryani rice and curry chicken which were also average, but the naan was tough (must have been there a long time). I didn't have desserts, but had a cube each of the watermelon and honeydew - and they weren't even sweet (the average type of sweet). It's a letdown (especially after seeing so much of it's FB advertising ;)
