I was once staying in the hotel every week during weekdays. I love the bed! I love the bathtub! And of course, I love the food! But unfortunately, it’s my first time to have buffet hi-tea in a hotel last Saturday.

The ID, ambience and service at Essence are excellent. This restaurant’s concept is more towards healthy concept and fresh prepared upon guest request. However, local fare steal the limelight of the buffet line, a bit dissapointed.
