| - Oh gosh. Full. Momentarily shocked Easter weekend brunch was ~$50+ but it was worth it, $1 discount with players card.
Seafood: just the right amount of salted crab legs, sweet crab claws you have to break/pull apart, unlimited fat cocktail shrimp, green mussels in the half shell, smoked mussels deshelled (serious smokey flavor mmm), a variety of oyster shots, if I recall correctly, etc.
They have a cheese and salami area! But where are the crackers? Fresh juice bottles near the breakfast foods! I got watermelon.
I skipped the dim sum, got two pieces of sushi, which actually tasted like they were from a Japanese place, and found it funny I recognized the Krispy Kreme doughnuts next to the waffles, French toast, and mini red velvet pancakes. I'm getting hungry seeing all the food in my mind.
I couldn't resist and went round the tantalizing dessert station while filling up a third plate (without even eating a single thing yet) and grabbed a huge white chocolate dipped strawberry with pink crunchies, a mini chocolate cupcake, and a raspberry/cream layered dessert that I mistook for red velvet. By the time I got back, Massimo (aka Moss), had already delivered twice the amount of juices/waters we actually needed so we never had to ask for refills. He was friendly and accommodating.
You must try the lobster Benedict on a biscuit. Make sure to grab the mini plate with the rubber utensil they give you at the cashier, or get one from a basket nearby cuz the plate was hot when I got it!
I recommend the prime rib, medium? over the brisket and lamb. The latter were dry. There's also pizza and a flatbread with some smoked salmon and capers. Ooh! Their smoked salmon for the mini bagels are shaped into roses and topped with some thin green herb I forget the name of.
I loved the breakfast tator tots with cheese! The corn beef hash was ok, I bit into one mini waffle fry but it was too salty. I didn't get any breakfast meats to save room. They have chicken and waffles in small frying baskets, similar to Wicked Spoon? I'll let you know if I ever get the chance to eat there. I'm pretty sure you can build your own sandwich because I saw a bunch of sliced bread baskets.
They truly highlight the seafood aspect of this buffet. When you first enter, they showcase a bunch of seashells and a slight beach theme to prepare the senses for chilled crab legs and claws.
Dessert. My forte in food.
Get the green tea creme brûlée. Absolutely amazing. I liked the pandan tiramisu, slightly more on the exotic side. Stephen, the gelato gentleman, kindly informed us of the many ways to enjoy the gelato: in a cup, between two almond or chocolate cookies, or on a mini cone dipped in Dark Choco with hazelnuts, or one dipped in Vanilla with coconut. I got pistachio gelato with the hazelnut cone and wish I had room for another. So many desserts, so little time! They had three cake pops: chocolate, strawberry, and pineapple tofu cheesecake. Sadly, I wasn't able to try any of them.
There's honestly a dessert for everyone's palette, from fruit or chocolate espresso tarts to green tea cookies, passion fruit/mango mousse in a silver painted eggshell, cake, gelato, etc. They all look too pretty to eat! I'll gladly dine here again.
