So a friend and I went to Swiss Garden Flavor's Restaurant for buffet lunch (they called it Hi-Tea to celebrate our January birthdays lol And may we say, we weren't dissapointed.
Nice Ambiance

Nice Ambiance

 
The interior upon arrival. Lighting was nice, deco was classy, awesome ambiance. Bustling with people.
Appetizers and waffles

Appetizers and waffles

 
Started by taking appetizers and waffles with honey, my all time favourite. Appetizer section is well stocked. the beef salad was gooooood X) The appetizer corner, where the choices were abundant, with fresh leaves, salads etc left me impressed. There was even a cheese counter with a few variants of cheese for our hi-tea! smile
Waffle station!! :)

Waffle station!! :)

 
They had a dedicated waffle corner smile The choices of jams and honey + maple syrup made me a happy girl tongue
Rushed at it since I'm a sucker for waffles + honey lol lol lol
Fresh Oysters!

Fresh Oysters!

 
Having gone for a few hi-tea buffets now, I can say this is one of the better ones. (see the osyters! smile )there were fresh oysters and prawns. I was there for close to 2 hrs and they had refilled at least twice (although people took it just as fast!)
Rows of tempting deserts...

Rows of tempting deserts...

 
The dessert corner was honestly the most well stocked of the place, with generous varieties of puddings, cakes, fruits etc. Most were good, one should save space for some delightful desert and the end.
Colourful desert!

Colourful desert!

 
Colourful palate of desserts! lol
My plate of desserts. tried mixed berries, christmas cake, puddings, custard creams etc. A new experience for sure smile

Notice that I din't talk much bout main course There were 3 counters like the above 1, serving Malay dishes, Western dishes and Chinese dishes each. Food was fair (well it is a high tea not "lunch" per say), the roast beef was AWESOME. I think the specialty here is beef la lol
Dim sum and noodles counter

Dim sum and noodles counter

 
Dimsum and noodles station was also another station featured outside the restaurant, with tomyum and soup noodles, and various paos and dimsums serving outside, constantly manned by 2 chefs.

The exterior is beautiful - I think it recently went through a facelift or something. Environment is warm and cozy. The interior was well designed, Chinese lanterns and lightings, ambiance was good.

Some food ratings:

Mixed Roll Delite
Rating: 3/5, Original price RM18.90
A high class (read: more expensive) version of your street popiah. Ingredients were ok, but doesn't give you the refreshing taste your hawker side noodle gives you.

 
Vietnamese Beef Noodles
Rating: 3/5, Original price RM15.90
The special guest had this since we were taking the dry stuff. He said it was ok. . .Although I have to admit that I had tasted a better version at Pho Hoa @ Curve, Damansara Utama. This just din't impress me.

 
Grilled prawn with imperial roll noodles
Rating: 3.5/5, Original price RM17.90
Somewhat traditional Vietnamese Vermicelli with prawns and spring roll, which my bro and I took. Again, I feel that the Viet Vermicelli @ Pho Hoa is better. The sauce they provided there was refreshing, while there was no sauce here apart from sour chilli paste. Portion of ingredients were fair.

 
Jasmine and strawberry tea
Rating: 3/5, Price: RM6.90
My dad found it weird, while I find it mediocre. Strange tasting, not bitter but nothing exotic as well.verdict: try at own risk

 
Overall the experience was a normal one, nothing impressive. I'll probably not come back again since I can get the same stuff at a fraction of the price.

Overall ratings:
Food: 3/5, again, nothing to shout about. Wouldn't highly recommend it.
Ambiance: 4/5 - The ambience was pretty high class, no dirty cushions etc
Service: 4/5, no complains, though a tad slow at times
Price: 3/5 (Based on the deal price), Din't feel like the food was amazing.
