Ramadhan Buffet @ Bangkok Thai Seafood Restaurant, Kuching

Bangkok Thai Seafood Restaurant, the place where I had my third 'buka puasa' buffet in the month of Ramadhan.  If you are not a big eater but want to try out a Ramadhan buffet, this is the place to be.  This year, the price is increased to RM35 nett but still, it is a buffet worth going for.

The main dishes are rather common though but the salads are just sooo...appetizing.

Fried Noodle

Tom Yam

Seafood Fried Rice

Long Bean with Belacan

Seafood Tofu

Braised Beef

Prawns

Macam-macam Ada Mega Buffet @ Grand Margherita Hotel, Kuching

I made it to another buffet dinner a week ago with my colleagues.  This time round, it was the Macam-macam Ada Mega Buffet at the Orchid Garden Coffee House @ Grand Margherita Hotel, Kuching.  It has to be the biggest buffet in Kuching.  There are about 200 varieties of local and international dishes (Japanese, Indochina, Indonesia, Middle East) and its menu rotates daily.

One thing special is that the Indocina chefs are specially invited from Cambodia's well-known hotels (which hotels, I did not ask :D) and the Penang chefs are street food entrepreneurs from Pearl of Orient itself.





The Muslims usually start off their breaking of fast with buah kurma

Local kuihs

Served at the Grilled Station

Penang delicacies ranging from Char Kueh Tiaw, Prawn Noodles, Or Chien, Lor Bak, Assam Laksa 

Local delicacies - rojak, ulam-ulaman, satay, rendang, serunding daging etc.

Japanese Corner - Sushi, Maki & different types of Katsu (Prawn, Chicken etc.)

From the Middle East - Shawarma & spring lamb on the spit with rice, potatoes or selection of vegetables

Desserts

These photos are going to make you drool I'm sure?  I am returning to the buffet dinner again.  No, not t next year, but this week.  Come and join me there!

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. :-)
