Orchard Cafe @ Orchard Hotel

Is durian season and since we are going somewhere for buffet to celebrate my girlfriend birthday we decided on Orchard hotel since they having this dinner and durian buffet together.

Upon reaching the place we were surprised that they actually closed up the smoking area for durian session. I guess is due to the heavy durian smell that why they do it outdoor and restrict us from eating it indoor as well. As for the outdoor area they actually set up an area where they will be a chef opening up the whole durian for you and beside this they also have fried durian and durian waffle. We requested for glove to eat the durian lolz The durian is really good!!! Lots of flesh and baby seed, bitter meat which is my favorite best of all is free 'flow' you can have as many as you want so long your stomach can fill it lolz... Not forgetting the durian puff and waffle, the waffle is hot, crispy and had the strong aromatic smell of the durian, so nice :P

As for the indoor dinner area, for me the variety is okay. They have sashimi area, appetizer, seafood, chinese, indian, dessert and area where there is chef making the laksa and mee rebus for you.

What I like
- Durian corner, durian creme, puff and almost everything: P
- Some variety of cheese and biscuits
- Fresh sashimi
- Fresh oyster
- Fresh prawn
- Laksa
- Pork belly bun

What I dislike
- Curry was cold on top so you have to stir it before you take
- Salted vegetable soup, too sour and salty
