These bustling, bright eateries hit the spot with families, students and office workers looking to fill up on a budget. On offer is a wide range of familiar favourites, salads, fruit and delightfully childish desserts. Some options survive the buffet set-up better than others, however, and the canny diner is ready to swoop on fresh dishes as they arrive. Starters include a full-flavoured chicken noodle soup with decent-sized chunks of meat and mushroom, and salt and chilli chicken wings, moist and flavoursome inside their crisp, lip-numbingly salty jackets. Sesame prawn toasts, however, fare less well under the heat lamps. Among the mains, battered chicken with a tangy sweet and sour sauce and punchy garlic and chilli chicken sit alongside juicy chunks of burgundy-skinned peking duck, grilled salmon fillet and vegetables with black bean sauce. Accompaniments include fluffy egg-fried and several noodle variants. Those with room to spare can round off their meal with jelly, ice-cream and cake. The smart and efficient staff keep tables free of used dishes, allowing diners to revisit the buffet as often as they like without reproach.
- High point: Sample a little, or a lot, of what you fancy
- Low point: Definite canteen ambience

I would not go back because the food had no taste. Then at the end the staff threatened my 6 year old niece.

this rather fine looking establishment has on many occassions made my belly balloon with delight and my heart flutter to the sound of humming birds.but if i were to be honest the most important person to feel contentment is my wife , why , because its cheap and i get a discount because i am special.
