if you are going choose the burger: its tasted better and less salty than the Spring Chicken. It was the Starter and Dessert that is the buffet not the Main Course just so you know

Excellent service provided by Ms Maldini. Pan seared halibut cooked perfectly, crispy skin and moist and flaky flesh. Pity about the four usual salads being replaced by a rather lack luster seafood platter. Rich and yet not too sweet opera gateau to round up an enjoyable luncheon

Rather good value with eatigo albeit not much variety. Like the tomato basil soup, hearts of artichokes salad and the salmon aburi sushi. Wagyu burger as main course also hit the spot. No dessert except ice creams and fresh fruits.
