Silver Shell Cafe

The food was nice and a lot variety for for the kids, specially highlight Max the in-house magician, made our lunch full of surprise. It was a memorable Christmas lunch.

Amazing buffet at Silver Shell Café, Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa with lots of variety and a kids’ section the little ones loved. Highlight was Max the Magician who kept everyone entertained. Great family experience — we’ll be back!

Beautifully thought out buffet concept both breakfasts and dinners. Really kid friendly (6 and under dine free and when we were there for dinner they gave a cute reusable goodie bag with water bottle, colouring pencils and reusable cutlery set). The kids section was designed specially for them, with the tables set lower and there was a diy cupcake and mocktail session which the kids absolutely had fun doing. As for the adults, they did not disappoint in this area too. Wide variety of food of different cuisines. Indian section was exceptional. Lobsters were also very fresh. Dessert station was decadent. There was even a cotton candy station! Breakfast was also top quality. Staff very friendly and prompt. Overall a five star experience!

Please be aware that the restaurant tends to be overbooked over weekends. During breakfast, guests are often redirected to Level 5, a temporary setup in the ballroom. And for dinner, you may find yourself seated at the lower-tier coffee shop-style tables. While the food remains largely the same, the ambiance certainly differs. Across our 4 visits, the food selection was extensive and generally of good quality. However, we did encounter a melted Creme brulee. Also, guests seated outdoors in the morning should be mindful of birds attempting to snatch food. Activities like balloon sculpting and hand printing were available for children, but we observed that the entertainers seemed more attentive to larger groups, familiar faces, and Western guests. On one evening, a magician made table-to-table visits, but due to time constraint and huge number of children, those in smaller or more remote tables were missed out. A clustered performance format might allow more children to enjoy the experience. That said, I must commend Kumar for his excellent service recovery. We understood his intention, however it was by no means his fault for the overbooking we encountered over the days. He clearly did his best and we appreciate his efforts. Overall, service across the hotel and restaurant was good. We do hope Shangri-La will reassess some of those practices around dining arrangements and space allocation, to ensure guests aren’t left feeling short-changed. Perhaps introducing another dedicated dining venue would help. The rest of the hotel’s facilities continue to be excellent.

Had 3 dinner buffets in silver shell - the food quality is suboptimal for a well established hotel. The savory food is of poor quality. The lobsters do not taste fresh. There are also flies in the resturant over the 3 dinners. The desserts are of good variety but the quality is not ideal. Service is prompt and restaurant is well staffed. Ambience is poor - noisy and warm.

Went for convenience. Do not understand how it got such a high google rating. The food was too salty for us, except for the chicken breast from kid’s meal, which was hardly seasoned at all. The service was slow and showed lack of training.
