Just bout 10 days ago, I went to this stall to have durian buffet with my colleague and since then I updated a picture on Twitter and FB, I was scolded and curse by my friend for why tempt them with such King of Fruit in season which makes them drool just by that picture(click here for part 1). Then during that time I was told by a guy that since last weekend they will have more better quality durians from Pahang as previously it was mostly from the southern part, like Johor. . .Since then I did told some of my friend then they directly ask me to do secound round of buffet and last night, I had organise one again and consider it Durian buffet get together part 2~ or SS2 durian buffet

This round I decided to go more premium as last round I just thought that the max was only RM15 and last night get to discover that RM20 you eat more premium quality durian such as Udang Merah and others that those durians can cost RM12-RM15 per kg easily . . without much hesitation direct jump to that. . . and ask them start opening the durians. .RM 20 durian buffet for this round . ..

PRICE:
RM 9 normal durians – guess its durian Kampung??
RM 15 better grades durians..
RM 20 premium grades durians. . (we have this for this round)

Weekdays all 3
Weekend only available RM 15/ RM 20 ONLY. .

* i think this price is applicable to peak season only.. if durian is getting lesser the price will increase. ..

I must say that durian on this round taste much better compare to what I had but according to Jolyn n Lyn when they came by as they dine the RM15 they find it much better as to me I find this is much better compare to last round . . I guess seasonal durian makes different taste in each batch. .

Last night, I had most of the durian better quality in its meat more solid, a bit milky, not too sweet yet you can eat alot bitter ones, there are mixture of yellowish and fair mild creamy colour  . .  not so watery base meat . .

Feeq is another hardcore durian fans as when the durian was open and right infrot of him or I would say right after this photoshoot he just whack the durians like no tomorrow and so fast. . .ko’ed after 20 minutes later. .

*remarks – durians are not meant to eat fast as you eat too fast its hard to digest and feel abit bloated.

Last 2 weeks, when I was working half way and got and suddenly got an email, 50% promotions on buffett at La Gomera Restaurant, I instantly open up to see what is the craze about and it was from a website doing this promo for only 2 days. I hit on Google and check out what is the comment from other bloggers and turn out to be not bad. . Moments later, my friend called up, saying lets go and try out, and I promise them instantly and think of where can we get buffet for RM29.90 nett and lagi lagi is Spanish food.

La Gomera

I think I would say this is the first of its kind, that La Gomera a Spanish Food & Dining is offering us buffet style that in business for less than 5 months.

La Gomera (2)

We reach there pretty late around 9.30pm as it stated in the vouchure that the restaurant open till midnight and there are no session in between which is pretty good as the vouchure only valid on weekdays.

La Gomera (4)

Inside its pretty comfortable but when I see the crowd inside the restaurant a big question mark pop up in my head.. after discount on the vouchure why the restaurant is pretty empthy?

La Gomera (22)

No Photos? I still take.. . .:p

A few sessions is available starting from appetizer.

Lately, one of the Japanese Buffet that a few bloggers wrote and heavily circulated around email is Tao Japanese Buffett, eat-all-you-can that located at Sunway Giza been flock with KL folks and people around there. What I  know that Tao was originated from Penang as I used to go there often to celebrate birthday occasions and because of its pricing and food quality. The place was constantly full and not until recently the restaurant had landed in KL, and seriously if you want to go there, please make a booking.

They still maintain their interior decorations but the one in Sunway Giza the interior is more classic and cosy to dine in.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and a time when Muslims across the world are required to fast each day of the entire month, from sunrise to sunset. The evenings are spent enjoying family and community meals, engaging in prayer and spiritual reflection, and reading from the Qu’ran during buka puasa time at Serena Brasserie.

This month Serena Brasserie will be featuring a lavish ‘Buka Puasa’ spread of traditional local specialties from four different Malaysian States and ‘a-la-kampung’ favourites for all to ‘berbuka puasa’, whether with families of friends.

Ramadan Nikko

To the joy of festive mood, the terrace area had transform into mini hawker area with ketupat plastic lights tie around the stall to create up the ambiance. It was nice to see a little green, yellow and pinkish that holds one of the Malay cultural colour during this period.

Wide variety of food ranges from local to eastern cuisine not to be miss.

Recently my friends are back on form as they had launch weekend buffet tim sum hunting again, and let me start off with second location first as the first restaurant that we went the promo was over. I ask a few of my friends comparing which hotel, they recommend I should try this restaurant first, without much hesitation I book this place immediately as their promotion just start from 1st of May.

The restaurant serve HALAL buffet tim sum for RM55++ with an award winning chef preparing the whole range of tim sum that in house chef was trained in by professional chef in Hong Kong which we know this country deliver great tim sum.

In the menu had variety of 50 items to select from and some of the name in the menu definately eye catching.

‘Cold Marinated Mexico Soy Clam with Szechuan paste’

Served in cold and some of them find it spicy and I find the taste very interesting. cold, spicy yet sour.

prince hotel (10)

‘Pan Fried Vegetarian Bean Curd Sheets Pan Cakes’

Pan Fried till very aromatic, just the way I like it as usually I consume alot of this during 9th God festival.

‘Hot and Sour Szechuan Soup’ – – ‘Congee with Scallop’ – – ‘Tai Zi Heen Shark Fin Soup (limit to one per serving guest)’

I guess it was a season of eat all you can. Jonathan had been looking at a few promotional brochure and keep mentioning this place for quite a while as previously I kept rejecting him cuz I was a bit phobia on tim sum. Eat a few times in a week could scared you off a little but he kept mentioning that its worth 1..you see you see.. very nice eh, so the arrangement was on Friday and we went with the 4 K’s and a few more.

I was having a hard time on taking the pictures as the light there is quite orangy and after taking a few I gave up with the rest of pictures. This would be a summerize posting as I am quite tied up with work load today. sorry for the simlified version.

The best thing is, you don have to travel to China to get to enjoy China tim sum, with a very well decorated China concept restaurant, which I was impress on it really gives you the kind of ‘umph’ that this would be the right place.

Welcoming you to the world of China. Its the entrance of the restaurant.

With an artistic kind of crafting art on the entrance wall had make you feel you are like in that country.

A 2 crafted big dragon circling the wall to makes the place with a great ambiance. With the waiter and waitress dress in traditional clothing that adds on the feel of it.

The dragon pillar which reminds me of the comic Dragon ball. lol~

A classic changing board place for women back in those days but with lubang lubang like dat, heee, the advantage is there. :p

The open kitchen concept.

For the first round of tim sum, we filled up our table with the available choice.

The foods here taste not bad with the price we are paying. With RM22++, Monday to Friday Lunch (I mistakenly put wrong pricing as previously I put RM16++) for a lunch buffet I didn’t put any high expectations, but one hell of the things happen.

I have been to quite a number of a restaurant, and this would be the WORST service hotel restaurant I ever went.

1st the tim sum for 2nd round we have to wait for 30 minutes at least on that day. Then we complain why is it like that, then what one of the guy manager told us they did not expect so much crowd and we just have to wait. With his way of talking and attitude had spark the fire of K and then one of the K complain you should prepare a lot what, since this is eat all you can buffet lunch. Then scold till the manager face change colour. One of the Auntie that push the cart also same case.

2nd was when the cart came out, the took the food to the same table 3 times, then start to piss us off till another K shouted ‘aunnnnttttiiiieeeeeee…. Where is our tim sum? So long still never come?’ with a lot of people staring at us, we don give a damm. Then they gave us a few baskets. Then shouted again, push the whole bloody cart here!! Is because they keep serving that first table like they were the VIP or Dato or whatever we just do not care. We just want our food as we don have that much time.

Then complain again, why is this happening. The manager was speechless and another lady manager(if not mistaken) which is much more polite and explain to us and we complain about that guy manager.

The food here is actually quite nice, for a normal serving type of tim sum. The things that I love the most or you should not miss are the ‘Polo Bun’. I took 4 of it.
