2 buffets in a day? My first time :D
We started the buffet at 6.30pm and ended the meal only at 9.30pm
Gosh.. We took 3 hours to eat?? Seems like a really long time
Well, we certainly ate a lot. Never underestimate the power of our stomachs!

If we're talking about variety, Greenhouse definitely satisfies.
We tried almost everything they had to offer, some of which pictures were not taken as we were busy eating.
But quality-wise, it was a real LETDOWN
For the price we're paying, we certainly expected better.

I do know for a fact that buffets tend to compromise a little on quality for the variety provided
But the food wasn't even satisfactory.
There's definitely lots of room for improvement.
One thing for sure, we ain't coming back no more.
