Lemon Garden Cafe

Excellent breakfast, you really have millions of choice here.
Just, too packed and you cannot enjoy food that much.

*lovely international buffet.
*So relaxing sitting in the garden next to koi pond in the morning.
*Would come to this buffet even if I were not staying at the Shangri-​La. *Local cuisine as well as international offerings.
*best coffee
*Terrific service as always.

The restaurant is located in beautiful garden with a big koi pond. The food taste so much better because it was a lunch treat by my boss. (^_^)v
There were dishes of sashimi, cheese, oysters and need. The salmon sashimi was a big hit. Really enjoyed myself.

Going there for Chinese New Year lunch, there was a promotion buffet for Chinese New Year. They have a huge variety of food ranging from Malay food such as Nasi lemak and satay, Japanese food like sushi, Chinese food like pau and siu mai, and a huge dessert bar with cakes, ice cream, chocolate fountain, and fruits. However, despite the choices and the 5 star hotel it’s located at, the food certainly doesn’t taste like it should. Adult was Rm90++ and children was Rm45++ so it certainly doesn’t justify the price paid for the quality they had. American Express platinum card entitles you to a discount of 50% for 2 person, 33% for 3 person and 20% for 4 person and above.

Last Chinese New Year, I went to Shangri-​La lemon Garden Café for their buffet dinner with my other half and his family. They choose to come here during a Friday night because this place serve a wide variety of seafood (only during weekend) which includes King crab, fresh oysters, crayfish, scallops and of course the usual crabs, prawns and fish.
The other reason they choose to come here was because this is by far the best buffet place they have been (it was my first time though) because this place serve a huge variety of Italian, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and the local Malaysian cuisines. I’m not much of a buffet person because I can’t eat a lot at one time. I’m those kinda person who take a lot of small meals a day (munch whole day). So bringing me to a buffet is sort of a waste of money.
However, to make my meal worth it, I ate as much expensive dishes as I can. Had the King crabs, scallops, lots of fishes and of course our simple Malaysian cuisine such as satay and roti canai and finally the desserts! The part I’m looking forward to from the moment I stepped into the restaurant. Tried almost every one of the desserts there except for the ice cream (not an ice cream person). Cakes, puddings, and more cakes! Yumsssss.
After our scrumptious meal, we had a cuppa coffee or tea to wrap up the night. Can’t really compare their buffet with other restaurants because I hardly go for buffets. But I must say, they have so much to choose from! That’s why we came back again few weeks later. Yes, just after few weeks…
Couldn’t remember the exact price but if I’m not wrong, it’s around RM160 ++ per pax and the hotel parking is around RM20 (depending on how long you’re there for).
P/​S: if you’re planning to go for the seafood feast, do make booking earlier to avoid disappointment !

I went to Lemon Garden for the Christmas Eve buffet at night and they served a variety of food from Japanese noodles to delicious fois gras. They also served scrumptious desserts like ice-​cream, log cakes, breadsticks dipped in chocolate and so on. The price was expensive, but for the food we were eating, it was worth it as fois gras, blackberries, japanese crab and caviar are quite expensive. The staff were singing christmas carols to lighten our moods on Christmas Eve too!

Lemon Garden is a buffet style restaurant located in the prestigious Shangri-​La hotel on Jalan Sultan Ismail. I visited Lemon Garden for the very impressive Ramadhan Buffet because this is the best time to visit all the buffets! Its rm180 per person which i think is expensive. The spread was obviously very good and there was a selection of practically everything you could ever want. There was japanese, italian, malaysian, middle eastern etc. dont even get me started on the dessert spread (thats where i was most of the time).
Personally, everything was good, food was yummy and seafood fresh. There were many people there that night but it wasn’t over crowded because the spread was set up really well so you never had to line up for anything. I would definitely go back to enjoy this yummy spread again soon.

I’ve been to The Lemon Garden Café in Shangri-​La Hotel many times, and it never once let me down. Seriously, I like the buffet spread a lot — quality and variety.
There were crab legs when I last visited, and they were so fresh and sweet! Although it would require a bit of work to de-​shell the legs, but it was worth at the end. If you are into raw food like me, look out for their scallops and if you are lucky, you might spot the ones with roe. The scallops were fresh and sweet too. No complains here.
I tried some of their Chinese spread but it was average. I thought the steamed fish was better than the dim sum. They have quite a fair bit of quality control in their food, and you can taste it in the raw spread such as the sashimi and sushi. However, the cold soba I took was only average. I didn’t quite like the texture of the noodles.
On the other hand, the spread for the Indian cuisine were really good. The mutton curry I took was delicious — the meat was tender in aromatic curry sauce.
Lemon Garden Café does have great varieties of quality spread, but the pricing is high. Having said so, if you have that extra budget to splurge I would totally recommend this place.
