===========================================

Equinox is situated on the 70th floor, it has an impressive view of the Singapore marina bay skyline.


We went to the semi buffet lunch, which cost $59++ per person. 
The buffet lunch includes one main course and buffet spread of appetizers and desserts. 
One challenge of having a semi buffet lunch is to determine the most appropriate time to call in the main course as you do not want to be either :

- Too full from the appetizers to start on the main course or 
- Too full from the main course to enjoy the desserts

This is the second time that I have tried a semi buffet lunch. 

For the mains, you can choose one of the following:
- Herb crusted salmon
- Pan seared barramundi
- Sakura chicken breast
- Beef fillet, 
- Slow roasted pork belly
- Wild mushroom raviolo
- Half grilled main lobster (requires a $15 top-up)

You can also opt to have a slice of 70g foie gras with your mains at an additional $10.

Things That I love
1. Affordable (especially with 50% discount using the Feed At Raffles Card) - 45%
2. Wide variety of oysters - 20%
3. Premium food served, i.e. caviar and foie gras mousse - 15%
4. Spectacular skyline - 5%

The buffet for 2 person is $59 before taxes (i.e. $69 with taxes). 
This is an awesome deal for a hotel buffet for 2 people. 

Caviar was also served in the buffet. 
Another thing that I liked was the wide variety of oysters served. 
I enjoyed the experience even though i had a mild bout of diarrhea after that. 

Things That make me cringe:
1. Mild bout of diarrhea after taking the oysters - 10%
2. Overcooked beef  - 5%

I have ordered the beef fillet, medium.  
However, it came out as medium well. 

Will I come back again?
Definitely (85%)
