What happened?! The standard over at my favourite buffet place has dropped so much. Things are not bad, just mediocre. But here at Raffles Hotel, they don't do mediocre. They shouldn't! I'm disappointed.
Imagine, what will those rich tourists staying in Raffles Hotel think of the food in Singapore after eating at Bar & Billiard Room? Doesn't quite do us justice! We're known to be the food nation of asia. And Raffles Hotel in Singapore being so known everywhere in the world is almost like an ambassador of Singapore (where hotels are concerned). So, people at Raffles Hotel, if you're reading this, please do something proud with your food quality and variety. It's Raffles Hotel we're talking about here. And people are paying more than $80/person for your buffet. I'm sure you can do better than that.
I was horrified to see brown melon balls (left in the open for too long) at the side of the parma ham. This is totally unacceptable!
But I was pretty impressed with this dessert creation. It's a mix of lychee and rose (syrup), creating this sweet but interesting bandung taste to it. An asian twist to a fancy looking dessert.

totally agree with you on the food. it was bad. the pasta was terrible.
The Bar & Billiard Room used to be my fave hangout for lunch and in the evenings - I was the first man in Singapore to have tasted every single one of their single malt and they hung my picture on the wall for a number of years. But for buffet, these days, nothing beats the Sunday champagne brunch at the Ritz. Imagine huge live Maine lobsters hauled from a tank and boiled for you on the spot, imagine the wide selection of oysters, free flow of vintage bubbly, etc.
Imp: Why have you disabled your comments on your blog? And I must say you've been drinking alot of whisky!!!
O.o... didn't know B&B disappoints so much. It wasn't fantastic given its price tag but I thought the Carbonara I had was pretty ok...
The meat were tough but the raw oysters and veal carvings were good... I was expecting a wider selection or at least some dishes that leave a deep impression...
