Azur, Crowne Plaza, Singapore
I have never liked buffets. I tend to over-eat and the quality is never that great. In other words, never very good value for money. Azur has left a different impression on me, however. It is my favourite buffet so…
Cassia, Capella, Singapore
Cassia is the Chinese restaurant of Capella Hotel Singapore. Amuse-bouche Dim Sum Platter. Soup of the day— double boiled Chicken soup. Good. Rich. Quality. Steamed Chilean Sea Bass with Brown Shimeji mushrooms and pickled chilli (SGD$18 per pax + 1%…

Morton’s, Singapore
