| - Bacchanal offers the best buffet I have ever eaten at. The design of the restaurant is modern, light and beautiful. The food buffets seem to be everywhere and go on forever and the food is so beautifully presented.
Get this - I dined here for both breakfast and dinner yesterday by my friends' request because she loves it so much. Here are my thoughts:
Breakfast here on a Wednesday was great. We arrived at about 8:30am and did not need to wait in line at all. We were seated immediately. I really enjoyed their dim sum. The pan fried chive and shrimp dumpling was a bit different from an authentic perspective but it was very delicious. The "lai wong bao" (a custard bun) was only okay - the steamed bun was great but the filling was a bit off. The Congee with thousand year old egg, all the toppings, and you tiao (Chinese fried donut) was delicious. I also grabbed an eggs benedict, and it was the best eggs benedict (excluding specialty versions) that I have ever had. I also had their fresh orange juice, fresh watermelon juice, and coffee. All of them were excellent.
On the same night, we had dinner here at about 8pm. There was a healthy line but it was fine. The Asian food was all excellent - pan fried green beans, cooked-to-order ramen, ha gow (shrimp dumpling), a vegetarian bean curd wrap, and blackened chicken soup. I thought the pile of meat looked very enticing, but my smoked brisket and lamb chops were just standard . The seafood I had was all good - crab legs, oysters and shrimp cocktail. I loved the fresh juices so much for breakfast that I grabbed another one and finished it quickly! Lastly, the desserts were great. The shining star of dessert was the black sesame mochi ice cream. The black sesame ice cream had a great nutty flavor, and the mochi wrapped around it was a perfect thickness and so soft and fresh. I'll look forward to returning one day and having their mochi again.
Overall, well done Bacchanal!
