Buffet Town

Recently went to Buffet Town for dinner with some colleagues. I must say it has quite a wide spread of local and international food. I manage to try almost 90% of the food and most were quite up to standard. Don't want to make this into a super long post, so I'll just do a short commentary on some of the hits and misses.



Queuing up for fresh oysters.


Crayfish, scallops, live prawns, mussels
Comments: HIT! Really loved their seafood. Very fresh, very sweet.


Chefs opening the live oysters



Oysters

Sashimi Counter


Sashimi Platter
Comments: HIT! Fresh sashimi and they even gave salmon belly


Sushi
Comments: MISS! Nothing special


Onion Soup
Comments: It's a MISS! Quite tasteless.


Tom Yum Soup
Comments: Mixed feelings with this one. Maybe because I prefer with milk in it. But still not bad.


Cream of Mushroom Soup
Comments: It's a MISS! Totally tasteless.


Chicken Soup with Wintermelon
Comments: It's a HIT! The soup super tasty.


Laksa
Comments: HIT! Very tasty, very nice.


Chicken Rice
Comments: Mixed feelings with this one. Rice fragrant but chicken too dry.



BBQ Taupok, Carrot Cake, Satay, Shishamo and Fried Rice
Comments: Satay HIT! The rest is a MISS!


Fried Vegetables with chicken and fish
Comments: HIT! The ingredients are fried ala teppanyaki style. Lots of flavor


Carbonara
Comments: HIT! The sauce and noodle tasted nice, but the bacon burnt. Overall still nice.


Tempura, baked corn, spicy baked cod fish
Comments: HITS! Tempura was nice as it was straight out of the wok.


Baked Salmon Fish Head
Comments: HIT! Marinated well, cooked well, taste well too.


Meat of the day: Pork
Comments: Miss! Very tough. 



Pizzas
Comments: HIT. Very tasty but makes you full easily. 



Aglio Olio
Comments: MISS! Very dry and tasteless. 



Ice Kachang

Comments: They provide the ice, you put your own syrup and all. Their atap chee was very hard.

Overall review: Compared to most other restaurants that sell buffet, this place for $42 on a weekend rate is quite worth it. The food is of good quality. The only thing I don't like is that you have to queue a long time for the oysters. But if you want it fresh, I guess good things come to those who wait.
