A Culinary Journey Through Japan: Five Themed Zones
cafe TOO has transformed its buffet layout into five distinct Japanese-inspired sections, each designed to immerse guests in the flavors of the Land of the Rising Sun.
Japanese Sashimi and Sushi Counter
Freshly flown in daily, the raw fish selection is prepared by skilled sushi chefs on the spot. Expect delicacies like salmon, tuna, and seasonal white fish, cut to order for peak freshness.
Wagyu Beef Station (Dinner Only)
The evening menu features A5 Japanese Wagyu with its signature marbling and melt-in-the-mouth texture. This station is a must-visit for meat lovers seeking premium beef without the steakhouse price tag.
Japanese Hot Food and Izakaya Corner
A curated selection of warm dishes and bar snacks—from yakitori skewers to simmered pork belly—offers a taste of Japan’s comfort food culture.
Ramen Noodle Bar
Guests can watch as chefs prepare steaming bowls of ramen with rich broth and springy noodles, customizable with toppings like chashu and soft-boiled eggs.
Dessert Pavilion
The sweet finale features Japanese-style confections, including matcha-infused cakes, mochi, and traditional wagashi, rounding out the culinary tour.
Seafood Highlights: Lobster and Oysters Steamed to Perfection
Beyond themed stations, cafe TOO maintains its signature dinner offerings: freshly steamed lobster and plump oysters, available unlimited throughout the evening. Each shellfish is steamed on demand, locking in natural juices and ensuring a succulent bite.
On weekdays, roasted lamb leg rotates; on weekends and public holidays, the menu upgrades to lamb rack and Peking-style roast duck, served during limited hours.
