| - Previously called "Super Buffet". Went under renovations recently and now reopened as "Scarborough Buffet". The interior does look a lot better now, open-concept, very spacious and modern looking. Despite its reno, food selection and taste is pretty much the same.
Unlimited lobster and crab on Sundays!! Better grab some lobster 'cause those things go out quick!! Generally the crab is tasty however, today's batch appears to be lacking in flavour and over cooked. Didn't taste much like crab... more like a mush of paste...? Peking Duck was lacking as well. It wasn't as good as the first time I've had it. It also seemed like they stopped making the wraps or was just making them really really slow since I went back to the station several times and the trays were still empty..
As usual, the typical stir fry veges, noodles, fried rice, calamari, fries and curry fish balls were all still there. Surprisingly, they served pork hocks! Kind of disappointed though since the taste wasn't as aromatic as I'd like. They now have dim sum as well, your typical Ha Gow (shrimp) and Siu Mai (pork). The Ha Gow was not bad but the Siu Mao tasted like frozen dimsum you get at the supermarket.
Soup station is still there and I think I thoroughly enjoyed their soups more than the "main course" foods. Can't really go wrong with the soups since they are all flavourful. They still have the sushi bar however, sushi is pretty mediocre; both taste and selection. Sashimi (salmon + white tuna) was not fresh at all but edible.
Lastly, I think I enjoyed the dessert station the most. Had flang and it was delicious! Not too sweet but sweet enough to hit the spot. I also had a slice of cake which I believe it was cappuccino flavour. (I'm no cake enthusiast so some signs/tags would help...) Ofc, as a green tea lover I've got to have some matcha ice cream. Matcha ice cream was more on the sweeter & creamy side rather than matcha. I also got strawberry ice cream however, this strawberry flavour tasted so artificial that I couldn't even finish it. (Normally, I finish all my ice cream esp. strawberry!)
Overall, food selection and taste is mediocre. It'd be better if they have more sushi selection/variation and putting some more effort into the food's flavour/taste. Also, a lot of the foods were either sitting there for too long or just not being heated as I found my food to be cool/cold once I bite into it.
Service was prompt. Servers were always on the ball of cleaning up plates & refilling drinks!! Not a bad place to dine once in a blue moon.
