Azur, as the name suggests, is awashed in calming shades of blue and aqua.\u00a0 On the walls are terracotta vases. First off, they use Royal Bone China tableware. Wow, Royal Bone China tableware in a buffet.\u00a0 The china is fine, not clunky like in many places. The buffet has a good mix of Asian and Western dishes&#8212;there is Chinese, Western Roast, Chinese roast, Japanese (cold soba, sushi, sashimi), Indian, Italian, Indonesian etc. The oysters, clams, mussels\u00a0 are all very fresh. The mushroom soup was very competently done. The bread was very good quality.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t overlook a small thing like bread.\u00a0 Very nice. I also tried the Waldorf salad and squid salad.\u00a0 Both are very nice.\u00a0\u00a0 Next was the sashimi.\u00a0 It was very fresh. I tried the cold soba.\u00a0 It was ok.\u00a0 It could have been colder though. Seafood Jumbalaya\u2014there were many tiger prawns and mussels in it and they were very fresh. There was also Fish fillet in Mango Passionfruit, Beef Stew, a cheese selection, crab and a Chinese roast station. One pleasant surprise at the buffet was the availability of Drunken Prawn.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t had Drunken Prawns in years.\u00a0 Drunken Prawns is a dish where live prawns are brought to the table and they are drowned in a bowl of wine and soy sauce.\u00a0 Through the transparent glass bowl, you can see the prawns flapping around \u2026 and then stop.\u00a0 The Drunken Prawns here are big and fresh.\u00a0 The stock they come in is OUTSTANDING&#8212;rich but clear, and full of the goodness of gogi aka wolfberry, reed dates and other wonderful Chinese herbs. They have a huge selection of dessert, such as Green Tea Panna Cotta, Dark Sweet Cherry Tart, Chocolat Chestnut Mousse Cake, Earl Grape Jelly, Wheatgrass Blueberry Cake etc. Of all the dishes here: the minimum score 7\/10; the maximum score is 9\/10 for the oysters and the Drunken Prawns. On top of that, this place is never too busy means that you never have to jostle with everyone like it\u2019s a matter of life and death. Excellent, my kind of place.
