Iftar Dinner Buffet @ Waterfront Cafe, Hilton Kuching

EAT YOUR HEART OUT!  Haha!  Yesterday, I was at the Waterfront Cafe, Hilton Kuching to try out their Ramadhan dinner buffet.  They have quite a delightful spread of dishes (traditional and international flavours).  The buffet dinner also features live cooking stations offering mixed grills, shawarma, pasta and other favourites.  The menu changes every day.

Chocolate Fondue

Rojak

Rojak India

Ulam-ulaman...I love the spicy shrimp paste!

Kerabu Sayur Paku

Selada Ayam (a type of kerabu)

Mee Goreng

Chicken Curry

Sambal Terung

Arabian Rice with Lamb...This is the highlight of the dinner.  What can I say?  VERY GOOD!

Mee Jawa

Japanese corner

Salmon Sashimi

Sushi

Tempura

Pasta

Tandoori Chicken

Grilled prawn

Beef & Chicken Satay

Grilled Lamb

Local kuih

Mango Cheesecake

Mango Mousse Cake

Crepe

Ais Kacang

Ok, now that you have seen photos of most of the food, let me tell you what I think of the dinner.  One will definitely be spoilt for choice, but taste-wise, it is average.  For the price of RM89++, I consider it pricey even after a 20% discount for early birds. :-)

Cats Pyjamas' Burger

I got to know of this burger stall from www.kuchinglah.com, a link that a friend posted on Facebook.  Being a food hunter, there I went and tried.  The stall is located right in front of Kafe Lam at Jalan Ang Cheng Ho, right opposite Dewan Masyarakat.  On my maiden visit, I had the beef burger with a big slice of pineapple as add-on.  This choice was made so that I could make a comparison with the burgers I had before at Astana Grilled Burger.

A good burger starts with a good patty, agree?  The beef patties are homemade according to one of the helpers at the stall.  It is juicy even without any sauce.  However, I found the burger to be oily.

The verdict, I like the Astana Grilled Burger better.  Nevertheless, this is a can-come-back-again place to have burgers.
