Ming Moon Restaurant in Hurst Street offers a value-for-money Chinese buffet with an array of starters, soups, salads and mains from various regions of the republic. All the advantages of a buffet, that it is quick, convenient and offers enough choice, are present here. Guests can relax in the contemporary setting with the friendly, eager to please staff at their service.

You could begin the meal with rolls of egg, roast pork or shrimp, scallion pancakes, chicken fingers, barbeque spare ribs, steamed vegetable dumplings, fried baby shrimp, sliced roast pork or teriyaki beef. The hearty start is followed by more variety with chicken in black bean sauce, Hunan beef, kung po shrimp, roast pork with Chinese vegetables, beef or shrimp chop suey, lobster and crab lo mein, Singapore rice noodles and roast pork egg foo young.

Food is cooked in the traditional Chinese style with emphasis on preserving the natural flavours while also using modern techniques to make it healthier. As a result dishes such as shrimp and scallop with vegetables and bean curd, sautéed broccoli with baby corn and snow peas, eggplant with garlic sauce and moo shu chicken incorporate the best of both worlds.

More variety comes your way with chef's specials of scallops sautéed with broccoli, snow peas and bak choy in oyster sauce, fresh jumbo shrimp, scallop, crab and lobster meat in a special white wine sauce and crispy boneless duck with chicken, beef, pork and vegetables. Vegetarians can look forward to an interesting range too.
