Pleasing buffet selection at [Harbour Plaza 8 Degrees]

As an expat, I have always found that buffets lacked a cheese selection as well as Indian Curries.
My recent visit to the buffet at [Harbour Plaza 8 Degrees] surprised me and it didn't cost a bomb during the weekdays from Mon - Thur!!


It only costs HKD478 which is under HKD500 and weekdays are quieter anyway.

The selection definitely impressed me but as a standard oysters and lobsters are a must in Hong Kong and they had that too!!!

Freshly shucked oysters:

Seafood including lobster and Alaskan crab legs:


Foie Gras:

Japanese grill & Sashimi!
As well as grilled prawns and fish, I was surprised to see grilled whelk too.

These were my favourites and I was elated they had so many items that many other buffets don't offer such as palm hearts, butter lettuce, curry and a good cheese selection.

Indian curries complete with mint sauce, chutney and pickles:

Cheese Selection!!!

Brie on Carr's Water Biscuit!!!

A decent carvery with horse radish, mustard and gravy, nearby there was my favourite potato gratin!




Dessert was just as good and they even had my favourite pandan cake, cherry tart and BREAD PUDDING!!
They even had the newest Haagen Daz ice cream flavours.
The bread pudding was just like the ones in UK topped with custard and not overly rich.


Other visually good looking desserts: Jelly fruits, Lavender cheesecake, Rose egg white cake and souffle with birds nest.
 Mango Napolean:
 Souffle with Birds Nest:
 Banana Charlotte:
 Rum Pie:
 Rose Egg White Roll & Lavender Cheesecake:

Part of the stuff I got from the buffet selection: roast beef with butter lettuce, lamb rack, salted egg yolk prawn, palm hearts and lobster in black bean sauce.
Overall, everything was good so you can expect to be stuffed if you go there~

Dim sum in the outskirts of Kowloon

Not a fan of Chinese dim sum, so just ordered a few items, prawn dumplings, chicken feet and glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaves.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Prawn dumplings:
Had this around dinner time, so these prawn dumplings were probably made during the day and left in the steamer.
They tasted ok, but one of the dumpling skin was slightly dehydrated.

Glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaves:
I felt the rice was a bit too soggy and oily otherwise it was Ok.
The filling was generous and had nearly everything such as roast pork, chicken, salted egg yolk, mushrooms.
I wonder how all that was packed in.

Chicken feet:
The flavour was weak and the chicken feet were not soft enough.
