I like All-You-Can-Eat buffet for its variety and flexibility, but not so much on the food preparation and freshness at most of the buffet I went. For those looking for buffet without compromising the taste can now look forward to Tao Cuisine Restaurant, as the foods are made-to-order by skillful chefs here to ensure the quality. The services here are very attentive too with reasonably fast serving time.

Love that sizzling sound from the hot plate when it is served in front of you. Diners will also be able to enjoy the great spread of different teppanyaki choices, including hot spicy chicken, beef bacon, smoked duck, snapper, saba steak, tofu kimchi and black pepper beef, which I like the rich flavored sauce very much.

To further tease your palate, try the yakimono grilled dishes, which are very common in Japanese cuisine. Seafood lovers must try this Kaki Hiroyaki, baked oyster with enticing cheese mayo, as well as the Motoyaki Scallop, baked juicy and plump scallop with unique spicy mayo.

On that same yakimono menu too, diners can order Ika Teriyaki, grilled squid with flavorful teriyaki sauce, and Shishamo Shioyaki, grilled pregnant fish with just salt and pepper for light seasoning.

When serving a whole grilled fish on a plate, it is usually placed on the table with the fish’s belly facing the diner. Interesting fact I got from Google.
