Went to the Orchard Hotel for my graduation dinner with my family and also to celebrate both my mum and sis birthday. The Groupon was priced at $58 per pax with drinks (coffee/tea/ice water) as it was a Friday which I thought was pretty reasonable for the buffet spread and environment!
We were greeted very politely at the door upon presenting our Groupon. We made a booking at 7.30 pm but arrived at 6.30 pm which they still kindly guided us to our seats without giving any black faces! The area is neat and tidy and seats are well spaced.

They have a wide variety of food to choose from. From cold dishes like the above, to sushi and sashimi and also lots of cooked food like braised pork ,chili crab, fried fish and many more! They also had a station where they serve the BBQ and grilled food like most international buffet like Todai do and also had a station for chicken/roast pork/duck rice to be served. Below are some images that I managed to capture on the spread before I got too engrossed in eating.

Their seafood are worth a mention as they are really fresh and absolutely delectable! From the mussels to prawns to snow crab leg, they are all so well done that out of probably 5 plates of seafood I had, none was hard and dry and it was all juicy and chewy. (Holiday Inn buffet serves better prawns though! The prawns here didn't had their bowel done before arriving to this hotel apparently, if you got what I mean) Still, I love the way the cut up the snow crab leg which made life so much easier for us! Especially when places that serves good and full snow crab legs are hard to come by.

Wide range of dessert selection from cakes to biscuits to ice cream and also tarts and fruits. The ice cream wasn't marvellous and so I didn't had a photo of it. The cakes are quite well done, soft and fluffy with a wide range of selection but would really prefer the Holiday Inn one most! They have pretty nicely cut up mango that you can get from the chef as well which I would love to share the image but I can't since I hadn't learn how to upload photo from my Samsung NX mini.

I would definitely come back here again if I ever want to have a seafood buffet dinner. The staff are really friendly and prompt in topping up your water and clearing your plates. I would say the food variety and everything here is almost comparable to Todai at an almost similar price range without Groupon.
