PJ Hilton hotel buffet dinner


Hey everyone! Today I'll be blogging about the buffet dinner my family and I went to yesterday night at PJ Hilton hotel. It was actually a pre-birthday celebration dinner for my aunt. The restaurant where we had our buffet dinner is named Paya Serai. The only thing that had attracted me the most was their chocolate fountain and other than that, I don't find anything really special and oh, not forgetting to mention that they do serve chicken and beef satay too! There are a few food sections in their buffet area which are the chinese food section, indian food section, malay food section, noodle station, bread and butter section, salad and cold food sections and the unmissable dessert section. I've read a few blog reviews about this restaurant and most of it said that the food there was just average.

The most interesting part of the buffet is the chocolate fountain! It was really good.

Colourful marshmallows. Since young, I disliked marshmallows a lot I don't know why but I realised that they tasted pretty good together with chocolate. :o

Can't resist the chocolate temptation hence I had a few chocolate dipped marshmallows before I started my meal.

And here's a short video of the buffet.



Overall, I would say that there weren't much choices of food available in this restaurant's buffet and most of the food are quite common in my own opinion. Is this worth trying out? You be the judge.  So that's all for today, see you again!

Hobahn Desa Park City, Nooks & Don's Warong

         
Hello all! It's been almost two weeks since my previous update on my latest blog look. Some of you might have been anticipating for my next blog update hence I'm here today to blog about my restaurant/cafe hopping adventures again. This time, I went to try out the korean restaurant with my sister on a friday afternoon in desa parkcity and I tried out the nooks cafe located at plaza damas with my college buddies today.

First stop, I'm going to talk about the korean restaurant named Hobahn which is located at desa parkcity that my sister and I went to last friday afternoon. Wanted to try out this restaurant long time ago and since I had a sudden crave for korean food, I brought my sister there right after her school ended. This sounds strange but the only korean dish that I love eating is just sundubu jjigae which means spicy soft tofu stew. I used to hate kimchi because of its smell but now, I love eating kimchi with a bowl of white rice. It tastes really good. Gosh, typing this now makes me hungry.

They also serve BBQ meat and stuff.

I ordered a pot of hot genmaicha. The tea tasted really good. :D

20151106_141916
My lunch is served! My sis and I both ordered a sundubu jjigae lunch set each.

20151106_141922
My bowl of sundubu jjigae which consists of tofu, lala clams, squid, egg and zucchini.

20151106_141942
The kimchi was quite salty and their potato with fishcakes side dish was delicious! Honestly, the sundubu jjigae wasn't really up to my expectations..

On a sunday, my family and I went to Din Tai Fung in Pavilion to have an early birthday celebration for my dad. It's been so long since I've had any xiao long bao so I thought of ordering some for myself. When the xiao long bao was being served, I was amused by the orange crab shaped piece od dough that is being placed on the steam cloth. It looks so cute!

20151108_194616
This is chicken xiao long bao.

20151108_194639
A must order dish when we're in din tai fung. Cold drunken chicken!

Right after AS exams, Brenda, Charmaine and I went for our lunch at the library in publika. That is also my second visit to that cafe.

Trying to be hipster for a moment.

20151116_151337
Brought my sister to try out the affogato in coffee stain one afternoon. I've gotta say that the items on the menu are pretty pricey.


Now, I'm gonna talk about Don's Warong. This is one of our favourite places to have lunch during college days. This place serves nice local food such as nasi lemak, curry laksa and etc. They even serve nice desserts too! I love their curry laksa noodles.

20151127_130822
The good thing about this place is that it has really nice natural lighting for you to take hipster food shots.

20151127_130802
Their brand new menu.

20151127_130800
My favourite section of all the food items hehe.

20151127_131147
Brenda ordered brownies (as usual) and I ordered a nasi lemak with ayam goreng berempah while Charmaine had a glass of apple juice.

20151127_13115720151120_132048
Also tried our their waffle with ice cream and it was good though the waffles were a bit fluffly.


Next up, Nooks cafe at plaza damas also.

20151124_122507
We went to nooks for our lunch on tuesday. The cafe has a really nice ambiance and decorations but the only thing that I'm not really pleased with is their service. Tbh, their food is quite pricey for college students like us.

Ben ordered a chicken sandwich?? I can't remember the exact name for it.

20151124_123111
While Brenda, Wei Wen and I ordered chicken chop for lunch. The special thing about their chicken chop is their sauce which has a mild rosemary taste.

20151124_123120
Now we shall enjoy our meal!



Hope you enjoyed reading this short update. See you again!
