The Chinese banquet restaurant is located in Newton’s Hotel Royal, and has been a firm favourite for special occasions with the family. They have revived their all-you-can-eat buffet ala carte buffet of late, which features over 40 menu items, spanning savouries and dessert.

The menu is divided into signature dishes, of which there is a one serving per table limit, snacks, soups, meats, seafood, vegetables, rice and noodles, as well as desserts.

Start off with Black Pepper Smoked Duck and Thai Sauce Jelly Fish to whet the appetite. Then move on to Double-Boiled Soup for something comforting before you tackle the rest of the menu. The soup’s flavour changes daily, but they also have a Boiled Stomach Soup with Pepper that is permanently on the menu.

On to the meats: get Duck Meat with Plum Sauce, German Pork Knuckle, Deep-Fried Pork Ribs with Salted Egg, and other proteins free-flow to feast with your dining kakis. Complete this selection with some seafood, from Poached Fresh Prawns to Steamed Fish with Sichuan Pickles.

Round off the meal with your choice of carb, then move on to desserts. There are both hot and cold desserts, including Chilled Mango Sago with Pomelo—a perennial favourite.
