Hong Kong Restaurant Review: The Palate in Sha Tin

When it comes to high CP value hotel buffets, The Palate at the Royal Park Hotel in Sha Tin is definitely on the list. 🌟 The highlight is the live tuna cutting show with a whole bluefin tuna flown in fresh from Japan. It's truly eye-opening! Tonight is a weekday evening, and the restaurant is packed. As soon as we sat down, we saw a waiter pushing out a large tray of lobsters and crab legs. The lobsters are large and meaty, with a firm texture, while the crab legs are fresh and sweet. We started with sashimi and oysters to warm up. There are many options including salmon, tuna, squid, octopus, and Argentine red shrimp. The color of the salmon indicates its freshness, and it has a slight oily taste. The freshly shucked Japanese oysters are also excellent, with a fresh and sweet flavor. The live cooking station offers many must-try dishes. First, the three must-eat beef dishes: Saga Wagyu teppanyaki, where large pieces of marbled Wagyu are seared and wrapped with green onions and garlic for added flavor; freshly sliced Australian sirloin, which is tender and juicy; and the cheese Wagyu burger, which is thick and topped with a slice of melted cheese, making it very flavorful. There is also freshly seared foie gras toast, which is thick and rich in flavor; and freshly cooked Hokkaido birch pork sukiyaki, which is surprisingly sweet and delicious. After these dishes, you will have already gotten your money's worth. There are also various hot dishes, fruits, and desserts to choose from. The molten chocolate cake is a must-try, and the restaurant offers plate painting services where you can write congratulatory messages on the plate to enhance the atmosphere. For just over 400 HKD, you can enjoy unlimited lobster, crab legs, Wagyu beef, oysters, and sashimi, making it a very high-value option. No wonder it's packed every night!
