I was extremely erm happy to eat my 1st plate 'cos I absolutely love buffets! plate 1 was quite nice. the salmon was good. the stuffed clam was really really nice. it had this tom yum taste. I think it's the nicest appetiser I ate. the seafood salad was pretty okay. the dressing was so nice! too bad the seafood wasn't very fresh. the terrines were quite bad but edible. the fish one was too fishy and the chicken one was too dry.

Plate 2- the salads- Bottom left going in clockwise direction

broccoli salad in mint dressing, beef sald,watercress salad, peking duck salad,tomatoes in garlic marinade and chickpea salad.

the salad plate was rather disappointing. I only liked half of all the salads. beef salad was really really weird tasting. the broccoli sald had this ultimately yucky mint dressing which simply didn't taste nice. I didn't like the watercress sald probably because I'm not used to the taste. tomatoes in garlic were really nice. the chickpea sald was not bad also. the peking duck sald was kinda overdressed and the meat was too tough but I like it.

plate 3- the main courses-Bottom left going in clockwise direction

prawn fritter, sze chuan beef, fried mee tai bak, ayam buah keluak, stir-fried french beans, assam fish, beef rendang, sweet-sour chicken and sambal prawns in the middle.

the main course plate was so-so. most weren't up-to-standard.french beans were soggy.most of the meat dishes didn't taste very nice. only the szechuan beef and ayam buah keluak was good(beef was kinda salty though!)

plate 4- soup and finger food-Bottom left going in clockwise direction

bread, bakwa, spring roll, cream of vegetables, and samosa.

well this time, stuff was good. the soup was definitely made from scratch.finger food wasn't that bad either. the samosa was very nice. the filling was nice and spicy.

plate 5- ipoh horfun(bowl actually)

this was very nice! the soup was kinda salty though. the noodles were yummy. they put crayfish and chicken as topping. absolutely yummy!

plate 6- the desserts-Bottom left going in clockwise direction

nut torte,brownie,orange mousse cake and chocolate tartlet.

I definitely like this dessert platter. the orange mousse cake was very good.the mousse was very very light and orangey. AND the mousse didn't stick to my teeth! the brownie was dense and very chocolatey and I must admit better than mine('cos they melt chocolate and put it in whereas I don't) the tartlet and nut tote was forgetable in comparison to the rest.

plate 7- the desserts continued-Bottom left going in clockwise direction

some weird creme thing, honeydew jelly, carrot cake, marble cheescake, strawberry mousse cake,bread pudding and cempedak creme brulee.

I really really like this platter. it's the nicest. Strawberry mousse cake tops the list! it's really tangy and yummy. cempadak creme brulee was good too. the custard was very smooth and the caramel top was done just right! the cheescake was really good too. honeydew jelly was really refreshing. the rest was not up to standard. the carrot cake wasn't good enough(Toast's carrot cake is much better) the bread pudding was very normal. the weird creme thing tasted like leftover cream from frosting cakes.

plate 8 and 9- the last of the desserts- durian pengant and chocolate ice cream

I don't see what's so great about the durian thing. it was too thin for my liking. I expected a thicker and more mousse-like texture, it was kind of runny. But it tastes not bad. the ice cream tasted like KFC's soft serve only with a darker colour.

In conclusion, the buffet wasn't very good although there are a couple of great dishes. maybe I'm too critical or it's just my tastebuds..

I'm gonna be a hotel chef one day. there are virtually no female chefs! I spotted none there.

after eating so much, I had an full-on "sleepy after meal" syndrome. I felt so sleepy I almost wanted to fall asleep in the restaurent.

oh shucks,there's school tomorrow. I haven't completed my homework. I need to do maths tutorials and Gp compre. argh!

I'm starting to hate school.

I like jap music. mel just got a namie amuro dvd and an ancient Smap CD. Namie Amuro's really hot and tall. so not like Ayumi Hamasaki. I like her. the smap Cd is kinda cute.
