27/02/2022 I paid RM56 for buffet breakfast walk in price. Normally buffet price for Mid size hotel is around RM30. Yes, even though they are 5 stars hotel, nothing super special like lobster or sashimi. Come on, RM 56 can not expect those things right, at at least at breakfast session. However, they serve basic foods like others, but some of the basic foods were done well. Their scrabbled eggs and mash potato is even better than most of the restaurants out there. Knowing that these are cheap food and will get full easily, I keep refill them. Ayam rempah was fried on the spot, delicious. Smoke duck is a hidden gem at the corner. Cappucino is good, and plenty of desserts. Roti bakar is quite unique. Some dishes are just so so, heated frozen food like assorted pau, roti canai, etc. Do look for the food where they cook on the spot, their chef are well trained and foods are well prepared. I would say their western food is better than local food. Ambience was great, can view Melaka city through big window/ glass wall. Servants are well trained and friendly. Toilets are clean. Someday, when you find yourself look for more than just filling your stomach, can come try. They did a bit better in many aspect. Overall better experience than normally...

For the Lunar Hawker dinner buffet at RM98 (10% discount if booked online), it's quite worth the money paid. Around RM46 for kids or senior citizens, this dinner buffet surpassed our expectations. Especially if it is a DoubleTree Hilton buffet. Only available for Fridays and Saturdays till 11th February 2023. And we were lucky to get this buffet on the 1st day of Chinese New Year (Sunday). The most popular stations are the seafood Chinese stall (crab, lala and clams), the charcoal grilled fish (ikan bakar arang) station (aim for the cod and jenahak fish as they finish fast) and of course the dessert station. Do try the mamak chicken or mutton soup, it's out of this World. Rich and flavourful, it's a must try. You can spend the full buffet timing, 6:30pm till 10:00pm.. So make full use of the timing. Food here is pleasantly delicious and fresh. The noodles station provides an extra soup option for you, try to avoid the Nyonya laksa soup. Staff are attentive as well and the place has an awesome ambiance. See the Melaka city night life as you dine. Highly recommend to try this dinner buffet before 11th...
