Having a local style buffet is a must for every of our trip in HK. This time, we picked Window Cafe of Kowloon Hotel instead of Sheraton Hotel. The quality and variety of food, dinning room's astomphere, and service are all not bad.

Having a local style buffet is a must for every of our trip in HK.
This time, we picked Window Cafe of Kowloon Hotel instead of Sheraton Hotel. The quality and variety of food, dinning room's astomphere, and service are all not bad. However, the "bunny" figure and Cantonese children songs played made it to be an unpleasant dinning experience (details below).
Soup & Bread: There are 2 soups, chinese soup and cream soup, are not attractive and didn't try. Bread are not attractive too.
Cheese plate: There are 4 ~ 5 types of cheeses and 2 types of crackers. I love those cottage cheese so much!!!!
Oysters: My wife got 8 raw oysters and got a tummy problem after 1 hour later. I got 4 raw oysters but nothing happen. However, their oysters are not worth to eat due to the freshness.
Japanese sushi & sashimi We got raw tuna & raw salmon (yum!), fried eggs and cooked saba slices. In order to reserve room of our stomach, we didn't try any sushi or sushi rolls.
Cold dish: - I'm happy to see beet and artichoke are being used in the salad bar. - cold Japanese buckwheat noodle is a good replacement of rice in a buffet. - I love their cheese plate so much, especially the cottage cheese mentioned above.
Baked/roasted items: - I tried the baked eggs due to its funny presentation. I may try that at home later. - Hawaii pizza with crispy crust tastes pretty good. At least my dad finished 4 small slices. - The roasted "pig's neck meat" taste very good but a bit greasy on the surface.
Hot dish: - Indian curry seems playing an important role in most of the hotel buffet since the last decade. I always considered that putting coconut and rasin on the curry is a wonderful way to enjoy indian curry. The masala fish tasted so great, crispy coating and smooth & juicy fish fillet inside. - Chinese fried noodle is not that attractive and I almost gave up. - The Cantonese chicken congee tastes quite good.
Dessert: - If you like dessert, those 2 dessert tables may make you be happy. Major items are the chocolate fountain, waffle, ice-cream, mini puffs, crepe made per order, tufo pudding, chinese sweet soup, cakes, pudding, ... etc. - The mango napoleon is a "must" dessert! - Don't miss the freshly made souffle. Remember to take picture ASAP once you got that from the chef. It's because it go down within a minute or two.
Summary: In terms of variety, quality, services, dinning room setting, and the price, I recommend this Window Cafe for all of you.
題外話/補充資料：
The restaurant played cantonese children song starting 12:45pm.
*** The problem is that not all adult like Cantonese children songs. ***
Then, a staff with bunny outfit came into the restaurant and took pictures with kids and babies. If their staff told me that arrangement during the tele-reservation, I may either know that in advance or not making my reservation. Since our table had no kid or baby, we all feel uncomfortable seeing so many kids running around.
It's no doubt that such arrangment is good for families with kid/baby, but not for us.
I suggest the restaurant to remind customers during the reservation.
I came here with a big group (more than 20 people) and although we didn't get a long table next to the windows to maximize the view, we were seated in a not so busy section which was great since we were a big group and were pretty noisy and boisterous.The food selection for appetizers, mains and dessert were fairly expansive - there was a plethora of Chinese, Japanese, Western and Middle-Eastern dishes which more than satisfied everyone in our group albeit there were only a handful of sashimi ch

The food selection for appetizers, mains and dessert were fairly expansive - there was a plethora of Chinese, Japanese, Western and Middle-Eastern dishes which more than satisfied everyone in our group albeit there were only a handful of sashimi choices and some of the dishes took awhile to be refilled/replaced.
You usually can't go wrong with crêpes but the one I has at the Window Cafe was kind of like the saffron rice - it looked appetizing but was lacking in taste.
