Favorite Steamed Dumplings｜Defu Court

Recently I saw on YouTube that many local bloggers recommended this affordable hotel buffet, where you can get a rich buffet lunch for less than $200. Since there are fewer people after Christmas, I decided to give it a try. Go straight on Soy Street, pass the Sun Po Cinema and walk another minute to the Stanford Hotel. I didn’t expect the appearance of a three-star hotel is also good. There are also staff members pushing the door at the door, which is very attentive. You can take the elevator or walk up one flight of stairs to the attic. The Stanford Court is where we will have lunch today. As soon as I got up to the loft, I saw the rectangular food table. I almost drooled just by smelling the aroma. 🤤 After confirming the reservation with the staff, I took a seat. The dining table and chairs were in a casual coffee shop style, which didn’t look cheap or featureless. The restaurant still retains the Christmas theme decoration, the design of Santa Claus and pendants is also very meticulous, the atmosphere is very good🎅 As soon as we sat down, we were served four oysters per person. Although the quantity is limited per person, it is good to have oysters at this price. The oysters come from the United States. Adding a little lemon juice brings out their freshness. There is not much fishy smell, but the metallic taste of sea water is more prominent. 🍽The food area is divided into a large rectangular area, a beverage and ice cream area, and a freshly cut meat and porridge area. Like other hotel buffets, there are frozen seafood, cooked food, sushi, salads, cakes, fruits and breads. Surprisingly, there is also a chocolate fountain and freshly made fruit pancakes. Among the frozen seafood, the shrimps are the best. The shrimp meat is tender, fresh and sweet, and each one is big enough to bite. I ate almost a dozen before I knew it, and then I stopped and moved on to other foods. For cooked food, I love steamed dumplings the most. The dumplings have gravy and the skin is thin enough. The kitchen keeps refilling the dumplings. The taste is comparable to Shanghainese ones. The curry beef brisket is stewed well and the curry sauce is fragrant but not spicy and very tasty. In addition, it is worth praising that there are not too many fried noodles or rice to fill the scene, and each hot dish is also sincere. The fried food is relatively pale, not crispy enough and the fried flour is very thick 🥴 The freshly cut meat is a Christmas-themed roast turkey🕊, which is very shocking. The roast sauce and chicken liver sauce next to it are kept heated in a hot stove, which is very heartwarming. Many big hotels do not have such details👍 Finally, we came to the dessert section. There were German cheesecake and white chocolate mousse, which were also good, but there were two special areas that were more eye-catching. The chocolate fountain was made of honeydew melon, grapes and marshmallows, which made the children have a lot of fun and the taste was not too sweet 😝 Freshly made pancakes are available from 1am. The egg batter aroma is not too strong, but there are 6 kinds of ingredients including almond slices and mixed fruits. Another little trick is to get Nestle ice cream from the ice cream cabinet next to it and put it on the fresh hot pancakes. The feeling of ice and fire blending is very satisfying🧊🔥 Telford Court M/F, Stanford Hotel, 118 Soy Street, Mong Kok #Good Places to Go in the Countryside #Local Travel #foodie #Winter Travel #December Travel #Good Places to Go in Hong Kong
