Seasonal Tastes at The Westin Singapore

Visited Seasonal Tastes at The Westin Singapore with the DBS/POSB one for one promotion which makes the bill comes about $98++ for two adults weekend dinner. Seasonal Tastes is an international buffet and at this price, it comes with more seafood as compared to lunch or weekday dinner. Weekend is considered as Fridays and Saturdays.

My, it was disappointing. The photos below are not the complete picture of what was available in the buffet. At this buffet, what I really enjoyed is the fact that it was not crowded at all. Cheers to not having to queue to get the food.

For our first round, we had the fresh seafood. The shellfishes were all tasteless aka no taste of sweetness at all. The oysters were rather skinny even though they were freshly shucked. Perhaps it was not the season? The salmon sashimi were decent! It was as good as those from Fassler in Woodlands (read: can get at a much cheaper price).

Below is the section with cold cut, cheeses, etc. The table behind (not pictured) was the salad bar. We did enjoy this section because we totally love cheeseeeee~

And right next to it is the bread section where you can cut your own.

This is the seafood congee, look at all those seafood poking out from the congee? I thought it will taste amazing but was SO disappointed. Ginger was used to remove the "sea-ness" of the seafood and sadly, they totally overkilled it and the congee just tastes like ginger.

Onward to the cooked food section. The mussels were the worst; mushy. Braised vegetables and black pepper crab were decent. Lobster bisque was too watered down as if one portion was used to cook 5 portions. 

Believe we were too late for the chili lobster and didn't manage to get any meaty part. Pictured was just the shells. The second time we went for it, it was replaced with prawn. The sauce was pretty good though. Of everything in the bottom left plate, only the baked salmon was good. The rest were just a waste of calories, just slightly higher ranked than the mussels.

This is a quarter of the desserts table. There were tarts, chocolates and chocolate fondue. The other half of the desserts table had a mini selection of kuehs, cakes and fruits.

The gelato selection. Someone will help you to scoop and there were a decent range of toppings for you to add on your own.

Not pictured but right behind the cold seafood section and right next to the salmon sashimi and sushi, there was a sink. I happily thought that it was for the customers' use as a bowl of lemon water was not provided at the tables. But while I was using, one of the staff came over and told me it was for staff use. Ok...... I had observed like tons of people using that and there was no sign showing it's for the staff use. It makes the entire experience drops another star (including the lack of lemon water to rinse our fingers).

The price paid for the quality and selection, just head over to other buffets.
