I was thrown with surprise by the extensivity of the decor as I stepped into the restaurant. The whole place was elaborated with a good modern outlook supported by some nostalgic details of the olden Chinese palace. Besides being detailed in their furnishing that catches attention, diners get a chance to drama by putting on the ancient costume.

| Have you spotted the Wardrobe? |
The vibrant environment was definitely a plus point to me for a spacious and comfortable setting to dine in. They provide each table with a 3-decker movable trolley to place the items too.
 |
| Dining Area |
Like many Buffet Restaurants, there is always a counter for condiments as well as some pre-cooked food for diners to enjoy.

Also, prawns are not to be missed, they are served upright in a pot with some decorations. While having an assortment of meat, it's always good to strike a good balance by having vegetables in the meal. Similar to the prawns, the vegetables were served upright with sweet corn on a wooden stick.
