Greenhouse at Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore - Where Gastronomy Meets Greenery, Golf, and Plane Watching!

ABBEY: We had lunch buffet at Greenhouse (Dusit Thani) for my natal day. My first plate included salmon, tuna and swordfish sashimi, seasoned seaweed and scallop. They taste great. Then I had grilled chicken with mango sauce, double-boiled pork ribs soup and wok-fried beef cubes. The beef cubes are tender, and the wokhei flavor is there. I keep coming back for them.  I also had red pasta with meatballs, chicken sausages and bacon bits. You mix and match as much as you want. And I also indulged in the butter chicken, papadums, and pizza. For dessert, the hot chocolate pudding stood out. Top it with vanilla ice and it is perfect. I enjoyed the chocolate ice cream; less sweet and smooth.

The smoky flavor, the mushy texture, and the spiciness of your ketchup/chili will bring bliss. Thanks, Abey, for putting in the effort to cook this. It's so delicious!
