D9 Cakery Review: Value-For-Money Saturday High Tea Buffet With 6-Metres Worth Of Desserts

Food at D9 Cakery The first thing that greets your eye as you enter the restaurant is the grandiose six-meter long showcase. In my years of living, the words “free-flow” and “macarons” have never been paired together, which was why I made a beeline for these round pops of bliss. That being told reporters, my colleague did deduct some points off the macarons, as she felt that the crust was a tad too hard for her liking.

From the evenness of the cream cheese to the ripeness of the blueberries, you could see that great attention was put into crafting it. The cream cheese was rich, and had the right amount of firmness without crossing into rock hard territory. Despite knowing that bergamot was a citrus fruit, I wasn’t prepared for how sour the cake was going to be.

Included in the line-up of dishes are wagyu leg, dim sum , and cheese wheel pasta. Thanks to the light batter, you could taste the full brunt of the crab flavours, without any oiliness.

It took some time for the chefs to prepare the wagyu beef leg , and unfortunately it wasn’t worth the wait. It was tough and dry, lacking delicate and sweet flavours you’d expect from wagyu.

This arrangement bodes well for all you cheese lovers out there, as it means you can scoop as much of that sinful cheese as you want. The pasta was evenly cooked and had a distinctive spicy and sour taste, characteristic of tom yum.

If you’re sensitive to heat, stack up on the cheese to take the edge off. Local delights are usually an afterthought at international buffets, but I’m glad D9 didn’t skimp on their lamb and chicken satay . There was nary a trace of gaminess and the meat was so tender, I barely used any effort to bite it off.

Ambience at D9 The thing about buffets is that you’re gonna be walking a lot , navigating past a sea of tables and chairs in an effort to pile on your plate. The verdict $48++ is a reasonable price to pay for this spread, considering the myriad of premium items you’re getting. The desserts are incredible and are arguably worth the price of admission alone.

If you’ve got a sweet tooth and are looking to de-stress from a hectic work week, D9’s high tea buffet is definitely for you!
