The Café at Hyatt Regency Sha Tin has recently upgraded their dinner buffet, to include 4 courses within a buffet setting. It was an interesting concept, every half an hour a bell rings which indicated that a new dish is ready in the live cooking station, this allows guests to eat their way through the buffet in a progressive course-by-course manner. FIRST STATION The meal commences at the salad bar and sushi station where guests are directed to the chef preparing a little dish of uni, salmon ro
FIRST STATION
The meal commences at the salad bar and sushi station where guests are directed to the chef preparing a little dish of uni, salmon roe, soft poached egg, udon and yuzu sauce. I picked up the dish and a few more items such as the crab legs, cooked shrimp and mussels and dressed them with lemon and some cocktail sauce and garlic aioli on the side. I also made a mini salad of romaine lettuce, garlic olives and veggies. The uni dish was delicious, high quality uni and perfectly cooked udon worked really well together and I tasted all the unique flavors coming together. For the other seafood, it was also great quality and I am glad they paid good attention to their sauces, as the cocktail sauce was tangy and chunky, while the garlic aioli is a personal favorite. The station also had a range of breads, cheeses, sushi and sashimi available.

SECOND STATION
The next dish was served in the Western grill station. This was a surf and turf, creamy cheesy baked scallops Florentine with black truffle mashed potatoes and grilled US rib eye beautifully presented on a scallop shell. I enjoyed the dish, again it had a good combination of flavors, but much denser and earthier than the light and refreshing first course. So far, it felt like we were getting very carefully crafted a la carte dishes served along with the self-serve items, which is a nice change to the usual buffet set up. The Western grill station also had a range of meats, accompanying sides, and also some Italian dishes like pizza, pasta and clams marinara. My two favorite buffet dishes were in this station, one was the lamp chops which were incredibly juicy and the other was the rigatoni pasta with sausage and cream sauce, which was another highlight. Do not miss these items! I also samples the sausages, pineapple and the ribs in the grill section which was prepared live by the grill master.
THIRD STATION
I was filling up at this stage of the meal, but was excited for the third prepared dish in the Chinese kitchen - baked lobster with salted egg yolk pumpkin sauce, braised fish maw, Chinese mushroom, oyster sauce. While I wish I had more room to sample everything in the station, especially the make your own noodles, but I was only able to nibble on the other items like barbecue duck like the okra sambal and curry. I enjoyed the flavors of the lobster a lot, the salted egg yolk sauce was super creamy and delicious with complex flavors – sweet and salty.

FOUTH STATION
I needed a little break before tackling the dessert station. I sipped on some espresso from their coffee machine to digest the first 3 courses. After a while, I was able to take on dessert and I was super excited because they had freshly made waffles with typical HK style topping peanut butter and condensed milk, the waffles were served piping hot and were super fluffy. If this wasn’t enough they also served the fourth dish, molten chocolate lava cake with rum flambé. The ingredients were intense and dark, the signed of true high-quality items. I also sampled some of the little cakes and the two standouts were the tiramisu, which used very storing high quality coffee and liquer and also chocolate pudding which was served warm – I couldn’t put it down.
Another great surprise at the dessert bar was the ice cream station, where I ordered the black forest cup. I wasn’t expecting such intricate work by the ice cream server but she made a parfait which included 2 scoops of vanilla and chocolate ice cream, liqueur, black cherries, chocolate cake, whipped cream and crumbled pistachios. This was absolutely delicious and I’m glad I didn’t dismiss this as ‘any other buffet ice cream section’

OVERALL
I loved this buffet. It was such a fun interactive way to have a meal and I do like venturing to the Hyatt Regency in Sha Tin as it’s greener and calmer from the regular bustle and bustle of other city hotels. I will definitely recommend this and can’t wait to come again.
