Welcome to Pan Pac.. Orchard! heh yes, was invited to do a food tasting at Pan Pacific Orchard, which was located just behind Palais Renaissance. It’s a short walk away so it’s okay. It’s just that I believe like most of us, we wouldn’t have heard of Pan Pac Orchard that frequently as compared to the one at Suntec/Marina Square. Nevertheless, this buffet spread they are pushing out is a totally new concept for friends who are looking for a nice & quiet time to chill in town. Okays, enough said. Peektures ahead!
The buffet is located at the lounge rather than 10 @ Claymore
Honestly, their spread is not very extensive but hey, not like we have the stomach to devour everything for a tea time spread right? :p
Cheese Platter
Smoked Salmon Mousse
Sea Urchin w Mango Salsa
haha honestly, I cannot really taste the sea urchin =x
Crab Rillettes w Orange Basket
Wagyu Thai Papaya
This was my fav out of all the tapas. I felt there was enough oomph in the salad that makes everything goes well together
Smoked Salmon for salmon lovers. This is pretty pretty good π
Tamago Mayo on Charcoal Bun
I find this really interesting cos I have never tried something like this before. lol
And on to the desserts selection
Chestnut Tart
Cappuccino Layer Cake
Vanilla Supreme
Chocolate Fudge Cake
Spanish-Bred Iberian-Cured Ham (Only available on weekends)
I’m not a very big fan of such delicacies. I know I’m missing out. haha so I can’t tell you if they are good or bad. Well, they are salty… (if that helps. lol π )
Swiss Cottage Melting Raclette (Only available on weekends)
This was surprisingly pretty good. I like how they go with the vegetables & crackers π
And then we also have the ala carte menu which includes the following which is free flow and yours to order as much as you like π
Peddler’s char kway teow
Award winning and one of the six and only Asian chef to win Omni Hotels and Resorts’ Simply Street Food Competition. The taste is pretty good. I wouldn’t say it’s comparable to the one I had in Penang but honestly, it’s probably one of the best penang char kway teow you can get around here.
I’m VERY SAD I didn’t manage to try the other 2 cos I was rushing off but if you want to read more about it, you can hop over to Myfoodsirens whom I met at the food tasting as well π
Selection of the buffet changes so if you read reviews on different food items, yeah pretty explains why. The gourmet high tea buffet is priced at $28++ on Weekdays and $38++ on Weekends. Would I go back again? Yeah, cos I want to savour the other dishes I missed out and I missed the char kway teow already. haha
Thanks Abigail & Pan Pacific for the invite!
