Juxtaposing the best of Eastern cuisine and the best of Western Cuisine, Hotel Jen Orchardgateway rolls out a buffet spread with the full works and we were allowed sneak peaks of the offer available from 2 July 2017 to 30 November 2017. For just $42++, dive into and endless array of Asian and International delights, all dubbed to be given a 'Jen' twist.

Moving past the grey areas on the buffet line, the Laksa Fried Rice and Korean Pork Bulgogi with Kimchi Pizza worked wonders in satiating the appetite. The former, combining two big hits, Yangzhou fried rice and laksa together, innovatively and in a tasteful manner. Each mouthful packed a punch of laksa flavouring while still retaining the fragrance of the classic egg fried rice. Be sure to pick up the condiments of coconut shreds and sambal chili and mix them all together! We all know how the Koreans like their food 'bastardised' with cheese, the bulgogi kimchi pizza was oddly a successful rendition in our books. Doughy crust providing a magic carpet for mozzarella, tender shreds of tender spiced pork and spicy kimchi. Hot out the oven, this was a keeper.

We move on to desserts in hope of redemption. However, things turned further south with the Green Tea Cheesecake; the matcha flavour, like a rebel AWOL-ed from the largely vanilla sponge cake. Avoid the dismal Kopi Tart as well; coffee cream yielding non of that dreamy silky texture whilst the tart base could have used a more generous hand of butter.

Instead, set your sights on the Lychee Rose Cake, a comforting sweet treats exuberant with both flavours of lychee and rose in excellently balanced proportions. The Sesame Cheese Cake is not to be missed as well, all initial scepticism of the questionable combination quickly dispersing upon first bite. The cream cheese melting in the mouth in an instant.
The East meets West buffet is available from Sunday to Thursday from 6 30pm to 10pm starting from 2nd July to 30th November for just $42++ per person.
