its been aaaagees since i last went to shangrila hotel but posts from helen and emily saw me quickly emailing bday girl amie and off we went armed with cameras and empty stomaches for a buffet lunch at Cafe Mix ($38 during jan)

me and amie

i arrived a bit earli and found no customers anywhere which meant: beyooootifully untouched food presentations!

fresh oysters, giant prawns and halved crabs with their legs in the air…

cold pastas, smoked salmon, mozzarella cheese n tomatos

at cafe mix they have 4 stations: japanese, indian, chinese and italian and i couldnt help but think iron chef japanese! iron chef chinese! haha but the japanese chef was a bit grumpy and unfriendly

~~iron chef~~ cafe mix italian! this dude was uber jolly and look hes making fresh pasta and hanging them near the window! there was also a fantastic steamed fish dish and some giant sized mushrooms with cheese on his station

mmm fresh bread

indian section with papadums, uber hot curries and basmati rice
