| - My new favorite brunch. Owner is from Singapore and the staff all seem to speak either Cantonese or Mandarin. Food is decadent but nicely proportioned. You can get a taste of many things without feeling bad that a ton of food is going to waste. Omlette bar is a waste of space in my opinion, but the dim sum, the congee, the noodles, the sushi, the raw bar, the sliced brunch offerings....I can go on and on. There is a separate room just for dessert. The dessert room has your standard chocolate fountain but the strawberries were as big as my fist. There is an attendant just to scoop ice cream and sorbets. There are mountains of truffles and fruit pates also.
Not to be missed: chicken congee, braised shortribs, thick cut maple bacon, truffle carpaccio cones, sushi, oysters.
It is pricey. Two buffets, two cocktails and a pot of tea came out to about $160.00
This is not a place you can get into easily without a reservation. The views of the fountains are amazing and you don't feel hurried or rushed out. Overall, I'd go back again soon. It's taken the place of my old standbys of Wynn or French Market bistro. I hear the dinner service will be delicious and may try that. I had a wonderful time and found the service to be kind and attentive without overly intrusive (not that I'd ever be upset at anyone doing a tableside peking duck carving for me). Even the China food is served on is elegant. Make some money at the tables and come here.
