Oscar's Restaurant at Conrad Hotel, Singapore

This is a pretty typical hotel buffet, it does not offer a huge spread but what it lacks in quantity it makes up in quality.

Oysters were freshly shucked and was oh so fresh and sweet. Initially you would have to stand there and wait while the person is shucking the number of oysters you've asked for. It could take a while if you ask for 6. I'm no oyster expert but I thought that the oyster shucker is supposed to detach the oyster from the muscle so that the diner just needs to tip the shell into their mouth and the oyster is supposed to glide down smoothly from the shell into your mouth? I did hear an elderly diner saying to the shucker that he wasn't doing it right so maybe I wasn't alone. Because the oysters were shucked on order it created a slight bottle neck. Eventually they had some ready opened ones on the bed of ice.

Aside from the oysters there were other seafood on ice. The lobster halves were pretty good,  not rubbery at all. Same for the prawns and the flower crab had a nice meaty texture.

There were other cooked foods which were a hit and miss. A whole section dedicated to fried prawn crackers, poppadoms, etc and cheese (my favourite). Dessert quality was excellent and will be a big hit for chocolate lovers. 

At the end of dinner we discovered there was a noodle station outside the restaurant at the Al fresco side. Odd location. The wanton noodle was given a two thumbs up by my 7yo, noodles were springy and soup was light.

Plates were cleared promptly and drinks were refilled without asking. It's not the best buffet in town but good to try for the first time.   

The food is not really spread out over a big space.

This was very impressive, the Caesar Salad is mixed in a big Parmesan Cheese wheel.
