The décor of this restaurant fits in well with the resort hotel that houses it – relaxed and Mediterranean in style, with cheeky explanations for its name in the form of turquoise mosaics, inlaid with silvery mother-of-pearl. Catering mainly to tourists, the buffet spread is understandably international and generously-portioned, with Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Malay and Italian cuisines all well represented, but mystifyingly, no abalone. The main attraction is the shawarma rotisserie: well-marinated spicy skewers of chicken are slow roasted until moist and smoky, and served in pitta bread with cous cous. Service is cheery and efficient.WINE: The hotel wine list offers a decent selection by the bottle and by the glass.

Here there is a compact a la carte menu offering Western and local standards, but the draw of this coffee house is definitely its daily buffet. To start with I went for some freshly shucked oysters and thinly sliced smoked salmon, and then proceeded on to the ‘live’ stations

Tucked away on the second floor of the Furama Riverfront (that grand old dame better known by its former name, The Apollo Hotel) this is a rather well-kept secret. Though not obvious from its exterior, The Square [...]

A seafood counter is laden with oysters in their shells, waiting to be shucked to order; thickly sliced maroon-coloured smoked salmon lies on a platter, the fat on its surface shining, and bizarre looking (but delicious) slipper lobsters, still alive, nervously wait for someone to order them. Sushi chefs industriously slice fresh sashimi from glassy pieces of hamachi and hirame

The Dining Room’s service, though impeccable, attentive and efficient, is, I feel, far too formal for the casual coffeehouse fare that they serve. [...]

Tucked within the tropical idyll of a hotel that is the Shangri-La, is Rose Veranda, a thickly carpeted, sun-filled room with deep armchairs and low tables, perfect for that most British of institutions, the high tea. There is a staggering 101 cups to select from – from fruit infusions to floral blends to Chinese teas, all served in expensive Wedgwood teapots and cups. For me, being British, this wasn’t a problem…

At lunch, the place swarms with black suits worn by both men and women alike. This is a visual testimony to the popularity of the restaurant’s offerings —billed as a ‘business’ buffet — with the corporate types. This is a place designed to impress head honchos: a bright, airy, sombre dining room that boasts a high ceiling, glass walls that offer panoramic views of the lush greenery of the surrounding seven acre gardens, an impressive selection of Old and New World vintages, and above all
