Eat: Rise Buffet @ MBS

My kiddos and me had a great lunch buffet at Rise :) I read mixed reviews of the buffet spread at HungryGoWhere and was deciding whether i wanna take the risk and go ahead to try them. As most of the bad reviews were older and good reviews are newer, i take it that they have improve their food quality so decided to give it a try. 

The spread is actually quite good. IMHO, i would say if u haven't try before, should give it a try.... but i might not go back soon as it is generally good but nothing very very fantastic.

Weekday lunch is priced at $48++ per pax and kids under 5 eat for free, so both my kiddos are free :) 

It is situated at the hotel lobby so if you are from the shopping mall, from B1 Raphl Lauren, walk towards the hotel side, then take escalator up to the hotel lobby. If you take cab to MBS hotel, it is just next to the taxi stand, you will be able to spot it once you enter the hotel.

riSe is an open concept restaurant so it is very bright, but also sun can shine in... it is not hot though, just sunlight.. there are some seats that are shaded as well so if you doesn't want the sun to shine on u, request for the shaded seats. As i wanted to sit near to the food so that I can monitor my 2 kiddos more effectively, we chose to sit at the area with sunlight so it was ok, not too hot...

We reached about 12.30pm and were directed to one of the seats by a lovely waitress. High chair is available for little kids, as well as plastic cutlery for the little ones... Service is good, as my son make quite a bit of mess while eating (as usual), the floor are beneath where he seated was cleaned promptly... and the auntie who clean it even chat with us... say it is ok, don't worry about the mess, just enjoy your meal... 

Iced water and warm water is served complimentary but other drinks are chargeable (coffee, tea, etc)

I am ready!
Spread is quite good... there are salads, sashimi, sushi, some pretty starters, cheese spread. For main course, there are mini burger, indian cuisine, spaghetti, chinese fried rice, kung bao chicken. And for desserts, there is chocolate fondue with lots of strawberries, marshmallow, selection of cakes, chocolates (even have hershey kisses), chendol, biscotti, ice cream etc.

After meal, naughty boy started to play around... lucky he still well behaved and sit properly on his chair while mummy finish off my food :)

Realise i didnt take much pictures of the savoury stuff though.... the XO fried rice is quite nice, and they have this grilled fish which is not bad...i love the nan bread too but don't dare to eat too much (scared too full). 

Fruits selection is quite good too (Gold kiwi, dragon fruits, star fruits etc)

Overall, selection is good and i think the food quality is not too bad (especially when they use vanilla seeds for their desserts). But nothing really strike me to re-visit anytime soon but i am glad we tried it.... :)
