Goodwood Park Hotel has been holding Durian Dessert Buffet around July to early August yearly. The event was marked by a huge durian right outside the hotel last year. There's been a new twist. Instead of Durian Dessert, it simply says Dessert Buffet this year. I've been wanting to try it out for a few years now but never did.
I finally went after a few colleagues tried & recommended it. I made my move fast coz the buffet is ending on the last day of July. An avid lover of durian & good dessert, I enjoyed the Durian Tarts with Hazelnuts, Durian Puff & Durian Pancake. Even though we went on an empty stomach, I was full after the 1st round where I took 2 puffs & 2 arts along with a small piece of Durian Pandan Cake. Despite that, we managed to try every dessert they have. They also have hot dessert like Tao Suan, Bread Pudding & "Ginko, Barley, Beancurd Sheet". Cold dessert includes Movenpick Strawberry & Vanilla Ice Cream.
Service wise, I find the crew more friendly & more "qin qie" than the manager. (I guess he's the manager coz he's the only 1 in jacket.) From the beginning, the manager gave me a "I'm high & mightier than thou" feeling. I felt like I'm being judged all the time by him & couldn't really enjoy my dessert. Then, this incident happened to reaffirm my feelings. He was extra friendly & personally showed the way for an ang moh but when a local couple approached him, he just pointed out the direction to them. Luckily, the experience was enhanced by the waitress who gave us our bill. Her smile was genuine & it made me feel good. So I gave them an 8 out of 10 for service despite my misgivings for the manager.
