Dinner Buffet Overview of Diamond Hotel's Corniche Restaurant

Diamond Hotel's Corniche Restaurant

I don't know why I'm posting about this just now, when in fact I happened to dine here several months ago. Maybe, I just found it a bit time-consuming to write about it since blogs on buffet are generally long, and given that I already started working, I wasn't able to fit it in my schedule. However, since there was a holiday break, that excuse is no longer valid.


Corniche - Diamond Hotel's In-House Restaurant
Before I had the opportunity to dine here in Corniche, Diamond Hotel's in-house restaurant, I'd been dying to try it out. This was because I came across one episode of Kris TV wherein the desserts of this restaurant was highlighted, but before we actually delve into the desserts, let us first run through the peaceful space.

What I first noticed about Diamond Hotel's Corniche is the classy yet highly cozy ambiance. This instantly made me feel lighter and very much at home. Things became more awesome when my mom and I were given the liberty to choose any spot that we liked. We chose the peaceful area near the glass windows.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take photos of the place. (Don't worry, I'm also wondering why). Hence, because of that, let's head on to some of the food you can find here in Corniche!

Freshly made pasta of Corniche Restaurant, Diamond Hotel

Diamond Hotel also offers freshly made pasta in the house, so you may want to "order" some. I may have taken a bad shot of the pasta, but don't let its look deceive you. It was definitely worthwhile!

Now, aside from the dishes mentioned above, I wasn't able to spot anymore interesting dishes here Corniche Restaurant, but I guess that's because they really wanted to specialize on the desserts.

Desserts - Ice Cream, Macarons and More!

Corniche Restaurant - The Gist
Aside from the limited variety of dishes offered in Corniche, nothing seemed to steal much of my attention with a full exception on the desserts (they were really amazingly good!). However, the beauty here in Diamond Hotel is that they introduce new dishes for a limited time. I was fortunate to have come at a right time because hey were serving Australian delights (or was it New Zealand?). Another interesting thing is, Corniche has a daily theme such as Salmon Nights on Fridays to name just one.

In a nutshell, I found the dining experience here above satisfactory, and I couldn't highlight the desserts more! I can't help but confess my love for the ice cream selection and the macaroons!
