I went to Oscar with high expectation, with the price tag of $58+++ per pax, I would expect it to be much better than Ellenborough cafe.
The buffet started with some drama. I asked 2 waitress if I could take photo of the buffet, and I only started when I received their permission. However, when I was happily taking my photo, another waitress came to stop me, told me no photographs allowed. Disappointed, I took some food and went back to my table, since no one can stop me there. I did not give up, and this time, I decided that I needed authority. So I looked the manager, and I saw this man in another uniform, and figured that he was the manager, Ahmet. He was very nice, and said that he would check for me, and indeed, he brought me good news, and I was happily snapping again.
Few things made Oscar better than Ellenborough cafe.
1. Food quality and presentation.
For a start, the presentation of the food was unique. And there were more freshly prepared food. For eg. For their sahsimi, you can choose the fish that you want. There were salmon, sword fish, tuna etc.
Their oysters were the better quality one from France, not your usual oysters. And they opened it for you on the spot. In the dessert section, they had freshly prepared waffle and crepe and 6 different flavours of ice cream, you can choose either cone or cup, and varipus toppings, from chocolate chips to gummy bears! In the salad section, you can different dressings and olive oil, though i am not a big fan of salad. And there were also 8 different cheese to choose from, such as Tomme De Savoie, Gouda, Le Brie, Etorki, and Emmental.
2. It was also less crowded, enough people to sustain the business, but not overly crowded like Ellenborough, and most inportantly, no one starred at me! Haahaa
3. Oscar had a friendly and helpful manager, Ahmet!
