The Line @ Shangri-La (Sept 2005)

I went to The Line on Friday night for a buffet dinner. Featuring over 16 culinary stations though I have no idea what they are. From what I can recall, there was a huge variety of food that one is spoilt for choice.

There were the seafood appetitizer section, japanese food, italian station, chinese food, grill, salad/cheese/crackers section, dessert, crepe station, dim sum, indian food, local food, ice cream bar, juice bar, chocolate fountain and probably others.

The oysters were really fresh, with no fishy smell to them. And the service was great. The person manning it was wonderful, passing you all the things you need - tongs, spoon, tabasco sauce, wedge of lemon, etc. The lobster was nicely done, not too tough that it was hard to get it out of the shell.

The soup was a bit of a disappointment. The seafood broth was too salty. The sashimi was also fresh. The highlight was dessert The chocolate fountain was fantastic, with strawberries and marshmallow on stick, ready for you to dip into the rich milk chocolate. The tiramisu was very rich and creamy...a bit too much though.

It is a place to re-visit again, just to try the other stuff. Regina said the pasta was a must-try, and the xiao long bao was wonderful, plus many more. I told Davis and Regina that we must have a girls night out there someday. Lol.
