Fern Tree Cafe @ Hotel Miramar


Because of the poor publicity Miramar Hotel has, we had rather low expectation of our 1-for-1 International buffet lunch ($32++ per pax) at their lobby Cafe - the Fern Tree. But boy was i excited! as i inspected the spread; there was so much food!

"Let's start, there's so much food!" I told Ric after my photo shot of the buffet line ;) i couldn't wait!

 Seafood (Mussels, Prawns, Salmon) with White Wine Lemon Butter Sauce

 Lamb Leg with Garlic & Sauce

Besides the above western cuisine representation, there was also some fine Mini Steak with Red Wine Sauce and Mashed Potato bake.

 Sweet & Sour Cuttlefish

 Sweet & Sour Fish Fillet

 Braised Chicken Wings

 Mutton & Chicken Satay

Followed by some really delectable local selections; not forgetting their Roast Duck with Plum sauce which i don't have a photo to show for :(

 Salad Table !


Particularly indulged in this plateful of assorted salad Ric had assembled! I was amazed by the quality standard of the well-chilled salad mix; would certainly love a repeat if i wasn't saving my stomach for other samplings. 



The Roasted Pork and Char Siew were worth a special mention too! A repeat would be good if we could afford; with their fragrant Chicken rice :) Boy, i need a cow's stomach here.

Poached Prawns, Mussels and Salmon Sashimi

As an alternative to these light selections, there's also a deep fried area for Japanese Tempura of prawns, eggplants and sweet potato. I had enjoyed both.

DIY - Yong Tau Foo Laksa !

Braised Chicken Feet & Har Gau

Two Dim Sum representation from Hong Kong of well braised Phoenix Claws and passable Prawn Dumplings.

We believed Chicken Feet aficionado would have as good a time as our neighbouring table who polished off at least 10 saucers of these! - didn't mean to spy, but his frequent trips to the table were plainly obvious ;) Good for him. 

Chocolate Mousse, Nonya Kueh, Cookies and Cakes

When we reached the end of the meal, we could barely stomach a round of desserts, there was so much more than what's shown here! A nip and pinch about was all we could swallow as we struggled to leave after a full plate of fruits and cupful of thick coffee ;))

Blogging the meal makes me bloat with satisfaction; yet again.
