Feast @ East - buffet dinner @ Grand Mercure Roxy
Yes, had good food like almost every weekend..was at expo and his family suggested buffet dinner at a hotel nearby..so started surfing safari and found this to be of good reviews..decided to give it a try..
tempura..lady's finger, brinjal, prawns, shishamo, sweet potato, soft shell crabs..
roasted lamb shank
sashimi...salmon, tuna, octopus..and..
cold crab meat!!! straight from the "legs"..yums yums..this is damn shiok..
laksa and mee siam..only tried the laksa..it is good! not too spicy but yet thick..coconut milk not too strong...
cold seafood corner...prawns, crabs, mussels, scallops.. refilled at speedy rate..never does it go empty too long..
my MIL's fav..durian paste...a mixture of bitter and sweet durians...just nice..she had 3 big bowls of it!! Sinfully good~
desserts corner...the usual of fruits and cakes..
the ice-kachang corner! yes they even have this machine!
kueh pie-tee corner...this is my fav corner!! handmade a few, happily devoured by his family..the ingredients were fresh and abundant, the "cup" is crispy..wooh~ what more can i say..
crayfish...this is so-so..meat abit overcooked..sauce does not go well..
prawn paste chicken..this is quite good...the prawn paste smell is not too strong, chicken tender and crispy..
they have all these tidbits kept in bottles for guests to help themselves..they r all tidbits and biscuits tt we used to eat as a child..feels transported back to the 80's early 90's..hahaha..
preserved pickles...tried the kimchi...so-so niaz..
kachang puteh...would be great if they had this cone paper tt we could put them in..tt will really bring us back to the old days when pple buy this for movies and not the poporn, nachos tt we enjoy now.. p/s: fyi im not tt old but i do rem these days when i was a kid..and im still young!
cheese and brie..
ice-cream cone w choc/strawberry/mint/vanilla ice-cream..dg's nephew loved it so much tt this was his 3rd/4th one..
Verdict: Definitely Try-able...a worthy buffet dinner of $48++ if not for the location..service was very prompt and good..
