Nostalgia Hotel - Buffet Breakfast
Saw Channel 8's tv programme - Forever Buffet 2 and decided to try this hotel's buffet bf tt was recommended.
Verdict: Complete waste of money, time, effort and stomach space.
First of all, there is no parking for cars cox it's a small boutique hotel at the junction near Tiong Bahru Mkt (Boy, we shld eaten there instead - cheaper n better)
Food:
Variety super limited...$19.90 ++ per pax is way too expensive for such limited choices. Fyi we managed to try all the choices available, cox my hubby decided not to waste the money.
Taste... not up to standard..we suspect that the food were cooked ahead and just kept warm..when it was served, the food were nt even warm. Nothing tastes good except for the sausages which is of passable standard. Eggs Benedict - after trying tt from Prive, small wonder for the difference in price. 3.5 stars (or is it 4 stars?) given in the show...for us? 1 star..
Service:
Service standard in the show was given 3.5 stars out of 5...goodness...when we went, they were severly shorthanded in our opinion. No matter how we try to catch their attention, we could never get it until they walked past us and we stopped them. We had to remind them a few times for our iced water, for them to clear our plates and for them to bring us pepper and salt...For me to rate their service standard..not too sorry to say only 1 star...
All in all..pls dun waste time and money trying this buffet out..
their deluxe breakfast.. which doesnt appear too deluxe to me...1 miserable piece of overcooked bacon, 2 slices of bread, hash brown which came cold, 2 sausages, eggs that were abit tasteless and some veg..
eggs w mushrooms.. this was highly recommended by the critics in the show..not too bad..we like tt it was filled full w mushrooms and abit a cheese..not too cooked, neither was it undercooked..
eggs benedict...bacon came too dry and did not blend well with the too-dry-bread and the egg..
waffles w fruits..supposed to be something "new" as theirs come w raisins on the underside..but when we flipped over..the raisins? a miserable countable of 3-4 raisins..
fruits w natural yoghurt...fruits were sweet, coupled w the sourish yoghurt, still not too bad.. Kisses XOXO Saturday, November 26, 2011
