Mezza9 - Hi Tea Buffet

After a little head scratching, we decided to go to mezza9 for a make-up Mother's day makan session.

Upon entering the restaurant, we were immediately greeted by their staff. Informed them of our reservation and we were shown our seats.
The ambience of the place is good with soft music and comfortable lighting.

I quickly scurried off to survey the spread. Being a high tea buffet, there isn't much cooked food to begin with. However, there is a japanese station offering handroll and sushi.
Worthy of mention is the salmon yakitori made up of salmon (of course) and some veggies. The salmon is fresh and generous. Top it up with yakitori sauce or eat it plain, either way you have a delicious munchie.

Over at the cold cut station, you can find sashimi, oysters and cold prawn. 1 disappointing thing is that the cold station has only a few pieces of each food and will only be replenished when they are emptied. This makes the cold station look bare and does not give the impression of plentiful which is something I dislike in a buffet.

Now for the main highlight of the show - DESSERT! The spread of dessert is actually not very big but the quality of all the cakes and pastries are excellent. You can find cheesecake (was strawberry on the day of my visit) which was fantastic, very chessy and the best cheesecake among all the buffets I have tried to date. The chocolate mousse cake is very "chocolaty" (is there such a word?) and rich (Totally brings out chocolate lover in me!).
The bread and butter pudding however is only average. Tarts, chocolate eclairs, cream puffs and the chocolate fondue are all of good quality.
Also present are large strawberries and fragrant and sweet mangos to satify the health conscious sweet tooth (who goes to hi-tea to be health conscious anyway?!)

One thing I really liked about this hi-tea is they offer a variety of REAL juices - guava, orange, water melon and chocolate milk. All taste great!
But this comes with a price tag of 35+++ per pax.
