May14 dining @Todai


May is their Alaskan crab festival!I decided to try it out since I m a Alaskan crab fan.

We reach around 5:30pm & there are already people queuing! See the staff greet the customer with a bow.


 My first crab : Golden crab
It taste sweet & yummy!
Personally feel this crab rank no 1 here among the other crab.

Follow by snow crab
 Singapore style chili crab: 
This is awesome! I think this is the most popular crab.
This garlic bread is crispy & yummy!
Personally feel : This rank no2 in my list here. Just personal taste :)


 King crab
This king crab is tasteless to me so I only have 1 serving

 Other department: 

Chinese dishes 





Korean section : 






Assorted side dishes 

Italian Section : 

 They are using wood fire for pizza!

 Deep fried section: 
I love the tempura especially the prawn-have a few servings of it.
 Assorted sushi

Great variety of drink selection: soft drink , lime , milo...
assorted tea & coffee, they even have UCC : 


 Dessert: 
I quite this freshly made crepe with chocolate & banana : 
Nice!

 Banana choc crepe, orea cake sponge, macaroons, cheese cake, green tea cake...
I like all except green tea cake cos I am not a green tea cake person.

Overall : 
I will definitely be back again for next year Alaskan festival!
Great variety of food  but I prefer  one stone kill many birds!

I didnt have chance to have all the food as the variety is too much- 
I mainly focus on the crab...
I find they are making great effort in food.This is the first time I saw wood fire baking pizza, dessert live station etc in a buffet restaurant.
Good service-the staff clear our plate quite fast.

May14 dining@Wan Hao Marriott hotel


New : Choose any 5 course set lunch & dim sum buffet

Each person get to choose 5 course.
Individual servings.
We have 4person here so we can choose 20 course but the portion is very small so it is not advisable to share.

5course meal selection: 
Suckling pig 
Actually this taste not bad but I have taste nicer one in HK.
I think the portion is too small for me to really enjoy this dish.

 Drunken chicken with jelly fish: 
It is so yummy !I like this dish but I only get to taste a piece as it was ordered by my mother
Braised Australia sliced Abalone : 
Personally feel : This taste better than Ah Yat.
I think this is the best abalone I ever had at a restaurant.

 Garlic Lobster : 
I didnt really taste the lobster sweetness here not sure if the garlic had override the taste.

Scallop Conpoy Congee :
I quite like this congee 


Deep fried taro dumpling : 
This is not dimsum, it is under deep fried session.My hub order this but this is yummy!
Birdnest egg tart : 
First time I ever had this dessert.
Actually it very normal just egg tart with bird nest on top.



Some of the dimsum we ordered : 
Shrimp dumpling : 

 Xiao Long Bao
They put red carrot under instead of the usual paper ...
Taste normal to me 
Liu Sha Bao or Golden Lava Custard Buns : 
Nice presentation only.
Personally dont like this.
I prefer Boss or Kungfu paradise taste.

Conclusion: 
Certain dishes are nice.
Their dim sum is inferior compare to other place.
Nice environment and they got us a very nice seating
Good service too.
