Healthy salads
I started my gastronomic tour with fresh salads from the DIY section. The selection was good and the romaine lettuce, bell peppers, avocados, chick peas, cherry tomatoes and marinated artichoke were very fresh. There was also a huge spread of condiments and sauces.

Tempting Sushi
Next, I proceeded to the Japanese station and helped myself to sashimi and sushi. The Japanese favourites such as cold tofu, chawanmushi, futo maki and dragon roll did not disappoint too.

Glorious dim sum
The next station that attracted me was the Dim Sum station showcasing mouth-watering siew mai (pork dumpling), Ha kao (prawn dumpling), vegetable roll and glutinous rice. I like the prawn dumplings as they were bouncy and the prawns were fresh.
