Cafe Mix, Shangri-La Hotel
Editorial
First, try to disregard the fact that the international Cafe Mix is located in a hotel, because despite the location in the lovely Shangri-La hotel it has none of the convention or pretension expected of in-house restaurants. The interior is an eclectic blend of colour and texture, while the entry to the restaurant is a jimble jumble of coloured flasks encased in lit glass displays - the bright red and orange intended to stimulate the appetite. Once inside there is no need to trouble yourself with a menu, dive right into the exquisite buffet selections that are fanned about the room like a tasting menu come to life: small spoons hosting tuna tempura with Ponzu dressed sashimi, theatre chefs tossing hot woks, a hot buffet bar and a seafood bar featuring sizable prawns and shuckable oysters.
There is an a la carte menu for those who feel like a lighter repast with offerings such as brioche fried fish and chips with chilli and lime aioli, and smoked tomato and forest mushroom arancini with roast pine nut pesto. You won't want to eschew the dessert buffet, a Willy Wonka-esque paradise where skewered strawberries beg to be dipped in the chocolate fountains (one white, one milk chocolate), and mini cakes are stacked alongside cups of lavender pannacotta and feather-light French macaroons.

I went last sunday, it was the most horrible buffet i have ever had in my life. the price is ok to match a 5 star hotel, but the food is terrible. As a seafood buffet, the prawn was so small, worth $10 perkilo on the market. Oyster was only on the first half hour, and it was so small, you would not have cravings when you see it. The mussells were so small that there was hardly any meat in it. Despite of seafood, there were not much choice for hot food either. $68 per head is worth to $15 only.
