Melt, the feeling you have in the mouth when you have a taste of good food - and I certainly left with that feeling.

Having been around for awhile, this place is a mini institution when it comes down to hotel buffets and serves a limited but quality set of items for lunch.

Start with the salmon, red snapper, and tuna sashimi and sushi before moving on to the cold cuts and scallop.

Down to the "hard core stuff", do go for the Indian selection. The chicken curry is really good. Balance it with the spinach and it can fill you up quickly.

Wash this down with the chicken soup from the Chinese section which makes a nice soothing drink on a stressful day.

Meat lovers would also not leave disappointed with the various roast beef and lamb cuts, although I found some of it rather chewy.

If you have to have desserts, there is a wide variety of cakes to choose from, or end with a fresh platter of fruits if being healthy is your thing.

There you have it, a good variety of cuisine that is bound to reach out to different pockets of picky eaters.

We chose to celebrate our 2nd anniversary in the restaurant and this place made our evening perfect....... 
Service, ambience and above all the food was excellent......
I must thank the management team ...............

saw 3 bad recent reviews but still decided to go ahead as I've been waiting to try Melt for YEARS! Expectation was high thanks to many food bloggers. but it was a total disappointment.

Jap - no swordfish?! not even hamachi! only octopus, salmon & tuna! I expected more!

Veg - conrad offered a longer line & 3 tiered of diff veg. melt spotted shorter line with only 2 tier. nuff said.

antipasto - parma ham is good to go with rock melons! but no rock melons was in sight. i paired it with some honey dew instead. close enough. 3 types smoked salmon & it goes really well with the crackers & cream cheese at cheese section.

cheese - no blue cheese?! and where is my green grapes? hmm

seafood - lobsters. only hope for the $$ paid. NO OYSTERS BY THE WAY!!

specials - drunken prawn is good & fresh, most imptly HOT. prawn mee almost room temp? & is a really bad representation of asian cuisine. i feel embarrassed for them! roast pork and roast duck is good! esp the chilli!

indian - mass production, kebab is so dry! naan is no longer piping hot and no garlic taste for garlic naan? gosh! prata wala can do SOOO much better!

asian - similar to sakura international buffet. but suki group's black pepper sauce is so much nicer. The only soups available are not hot, room temp i guess? & nothing special AT ALL.

western - so much boiled seafood in sight I believe they have alot of good seafood broth for some seafood bisque. all i see is cream of celery. guess morton's took away all the broth. beef stew is nice but have tasted better AT BF'S HOME! mashed potato is good too! i can make the same though! :)

outdoor bbq - they shd hire a better cook who can control the fire better. the fire is so big that the food got BADLY burnt on the outside and still have some parts raw on the inside! a lambchop lover like me didnt bother to go for a 2nd round. for steaks. they are way too dry even after asking for rare! the lobsters are done just right but not the same for crabs & crayfisH. the piglet is tender with crackling skin but has an overwhelming porky taste

Desserts - ice cream is a must try! waffle is not as good as expected. the small artisean looking desserts are nice but i prefer oscar's artisean chocolates!

Overall it was disappointing. ambience & value wise, oscar can do much better. I practically filled myself up with the cheese platter and antipasto sections as the mains are all meh! If you intend to try melt, i would advice trying it during this cny period. on top of the credit card discount, they still have lunky draw which my group won a complimentry dinner for two. I gladly pass it to my friend without hesitation. Not because I am generous, but because I am utterly disappointed how my most anticipated buffet dinner turned out.
