Seafood lovers take note; a feast of fresh, succulent seafood awaits you at the Ritz-Carlton’s Greenfish Seafood Dinner Buffet.

There is no other seafood dinner to rival the sheer austerity of the Ritz-Carlton’s. A composed, personal and self-possessed atmosphere leaves you unruffled and serene. Patrons can feast on insurmountable amounts of magnificently fresh oysters, mussels, crab, and lobster, all the while unperturbed by the intense, mob like atmosphere that usually accompanies these buffets.

The center of the buffet revolves around the on-ice cart of an array of King Sea Scallop, Boston lobsters, and Alaskan and Australian crab, hearty prawns, and mesmerizing oysters. Each center piece gorgeously presented, exciting the eyes and combined with tantalizing sauces. Select from six different varieties of sauces including Thai chilly sauce, lemon mayonnaise, traditional cocktail sauce, and even Japanese cucumber sauce. Each one is prepared to retain the freshness!

The Ritz-Carlton Financial has brought one of the supreme delights that nature has bestowed on man. The seafood is a sensual delight. The Oysters lead to discussion, and contemplation, their mixed flavors of cucumber, citrus, and melon, enchanting the senses.

The fresh lobster and crab are beautiful and majestic, with an aroma of mouthwatering goodness to fill your mouth with tingling sensations.

The sushi platters are texturized and subtle, truly highlighting sushi’s appeal, firm yet soft at the same time.

Sheer pleasure is derived from extracting the crisp meats from the seafood, anointing with sauces, lifting and tilting of the shells, and the drinking of the commendable wines before, during, and after. The sheer satisfaction follows with the laying of the downturned shells back on the plates.

Each diner even gets to enjoy succulently prepared roasted lobster topped with melted luscious butter, or chilly crab crunchy moist with zestful chilly. Such softness within such hardness has never been so artfully combined.

Patrons can also feast on salads of stir fried rotisserie meats, crisp lettuce, spongy sweet squid, delicate Beijing Duck, and brimming bowls of soup. One particular gem is the fresh cucumber and caviar, layered with mayonnaise that brings the traditional Russian dish straight from the Arctic Circle. Authentic, hearty, and rich, with strong notes of dill, it is Russia personified.

To ensure dinner ends on a sweet note, savory yet saccharine dessert items such as Éclairs, superb traditional rich cheese cake, rich spiced ice creams, and home-made cookies are offered. Though the selection is small, this dessert table is the best out of all the hotels, each sweet a guaranteed luscious triumph.

Featured every Friday and Saturday evening, this seafood extravaganza is RMB 328+ for adults and RMB 164+ for children (6 to 12 years). It includes free-flowing soft drinks, fresh juices, house red and white wine, vodka from the caviar station as well as coffee or tea, and a choice of individual servings of either a Boston lobster or a King Sea Crab.

The Ritz-Carlton Financial Street’s Greenfish Seafood Dinner Buffet is an accomplishment of sheer beauty. The raw seafood masks the world and allows you to live briefly in the here and now.
