Buka Puasa Buffet

I know, I know, my posts are soooo outdated!! Hari Raya Puasa was more than a month ago!! I got sooooo many things to blog about la..... slowly catching up k!!! Still got a lot a lot of food posts, 2 weddings and my Phuket trip pending!!

Anyhow, went for Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel's Sun & Surf and also Shangri-la's Lemon Garden Buka Puasa Buffet!! I don't usually go for buffet (except for Jap Buffet) and paiseh to say that it’s my first time going for Buka Puasa Buffet!! They have soooo soooo sooooo much more stuff compared to normal day buffet!!!!! It's like I take just a tiny small piece of each, I also can't sample everything that is there!!!!!!!! Because I want to try everything separately and not mixed my food, so I put a little of each on my plate making sure they are not mixed up and one stranger came up to me and asked me if I am a chef cause he said that I decorate my plate with food very nicely!! Like how French food is served!! *haha*

The Sun & Surf Buka Puasa Buffet was a treat by my CEO to the Mantec consultants and since I am one of the project team members, I get to go too =D n*hehe* It's my first time at a Buka Puasa Buffet and I have not been to a buffet with sooooo much food and one of my colleague can even give a comment that this year's Sun & Surf Buka Puasa Buffet is like not much stuff compared to last year!!!!! a*&^#@^& %#*^(&# and I'm like what???!!!!????? I am really soooooo "38" meh?? Anyway, I ate until sooooo full that I need to keep loosen up the ribbon of the dress that is tied around my waist!!!!!! *shy* And the whole place is sooo packed that they even have tables outside!! My colleague said that every year also like that one wor.......

Everytime I go to Sun & Surf for buffet, the first thing that I will take is sashimi and cheesecake =D YUMZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are only some of the things that Sun & Surf Buka Puasa Buffet has.......

Fresh oyster, mussels and prawns (actually the normal day buffet also has these)

Roast Lamb! (Normal days also have these hehe)

The various dishes

Different types of curries and rendang =D *I likey*

There were also a lot of appetizers and ulam and soups and etc..... (no photos). But that's not all..... Even outside they have got stalls!!!!!! They have got like satays, noodle soup and their laksa was veryyyyyyyyy yummy!!!!!! I think its sarawak laksa or what.... those malay kinda laksa lar..... and they even got like BBQ and "lok lok" plus fried chicken wings and etc etc etc.....

a lot a lot of stalls outside.....

and more dishes.....

lok lok aka steamboat

If you still have rooms for dessert, they have got a chocolate fountain, ice creams, bubur kacang, ice kacang, lotsa malay kuih muihs, cakes and tarts and mousse and puddings and etc etc etc.....

Chocolate fountain

malay kuih muihs

various cakes and desserts

As for the Shangri-la's buffet, I went there with Honeydrew's 2nd GF!!! *ish* He has got a lelaki simpanan!!!!!! *hehe* Actually its this friend of his, who calls him so very often!!!!! Everytime he comes back he will know and call or sms him the same day.... and even when we came back from Phuket also he sms honeydrew and asked if he is back already when we are still on our way back from the airport...... and the night before honeydrew goes back to tnt, he went and see him...... apa lar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like GF only!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *ish* *ish* *ish* but I shall be nice to him cause he is going to help me on something!!!!! Cannot tell yet!!! But money money comes to meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!! *hehe*

Anyway, since I have my first Buka Puasa Buffet experience already, I wasn't that impressed with the amount of food anymore..... hehe. Actually, they have got almost similar things except for some only lar..... and both are yummy in their own way..... but some how, I just prefers Sunway's buffet as compared to Shangri-la's!! *Work in Sunway must promote Sunway mar!!! Haha no lar actually honestly both are good and each has their own few dishes that I like more but generally I will still choose Sunway if you ask me to choose only one!! *hehe*

Ok here's what Shangri-la's Buka Puasa Buffet offers:

Lotsa variety of Sashimis and fresh oysters (Shangri-la has more types of sashimis but it doesn't matter to me cause I only like salmon sahimi!)

Mussels, crab, prawns (Sunway doesn't have the crab but they have got crab cooked in rendang or something but it doesn't matter to me too cause its flower crab and has got not much meat so I won't eat it hehe)

Dim Sum! Sunway also doesn't have dim sum but it doesn't matter to me too cause I didn't take any in Shangri-la even though they have cause there were soooo many other things to eat, so halal dim sum is not my priority!! haha

the various dishes (i think Sunway's dishes are nicer but Shangri-la serves a lot of fishes cooked in different ways)

Noodles Soup (This one Sunway also wins cause that laksa is just soooo yummy!!!! Sunway one is like malay laksa as in the gravy is thick one but Shangri-la one is like the normal laksa you get in coffee shops with "see ham" kind one - you know you know??)

Satay and various curries and rendang - This one I must say that Shangri-la has got a lot a lot a lot variety of curries and rendang!! I need to go two rounds to sample all and that's not all that they have there but just all that I want to try!!!! Probably got like bout 15 varieties or more!!!! But even though Sunway has got less variety, but taste wise both are equally good!!

Various types of appetizers and ulam ulam and etc (No comment on this cause I didn't really try much and I think both buffets also got a lot of variety)

Roast Lamb!! I think this one, Shangri-la's one is nicer though....

Pasta corner where they made to order any type of pasta dish available or you can have the ready made pizzas but sad to say no matter how much I want to try it I just couldn't eat anymore and if you ask them to cook a pasta dish for you, the portion is quite big!! Plus, I quite pai seh to still continue taking food and eating when Honeydrew and his 2nd gf already stops eating for so looooong!!

They also have a variety of sausages which you can ask them to cook for you. I only tried some of the stir fried ones and its quite good =D

Both has chocolate fountain.... But I prefers Sunway's one cause Sunway got big strawberries!! Shangri-la's one is really small lor.... and Sunway one is put in a bowl!! (hehe can take more)

Dessert wise, I like the way Shangri-la's cake is served! They are all in small sizes and put on a piece of card board so you can take each one individually and it’s small so you can just try a bit of everything!! Sunway's one is a bit messy. BUT, I lovey Sunway's cheesecake!!!! Shangri-la's one is not too bad lar... and they have got this nice chocolate cake!!

So all in all, I ate sooooo much and both buffets are good!! Price wise, I can't compare cause I didn't pay for both =D Sunway's one was treated by my CEO and Shangri-la's one was treated by Honeydrew's 2nd gf! Thank you!!!!

Now you know why I am complaining that I am fat!!

After talking bout fattening buffets..... now let's talk bout something that supposedly can help you lose weight!! Wii Fit!!!!!!! No, I did not get a Wii Fit since my Wii is gathering dust at home!! No fun lar to play alone at home cause no one to play with me also!!!! Anyway, Val is the one who got a Wii Fit!! She is really into Wii!! She buys new games quite frequently and plays quite often and YL plays it quite often and her mum and sis and bro in law also plays it quite often!! So her Wii is a good investment and very well utilised (as compared to mine!! - Anyone wanna buy my Wii?? kaka no larrrrrrrrrrrr just joking!!!! Honeydrew will kill me!!!)

Anyway, Wii Fit is FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wii Fit is like a board you step on and you use your weight balancing to play the games!!!! And the games are like yoga, aerobics, balancing, stamina and etc (I also don't really remember all - only played it twice) Anyway its damn fun!!! It also calculates ur BMI for you and Honeydrew is OBESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He will surely scold me for announcing it here!!!! kekekekekekekekeke YL is also OBESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHA its quite funny one..... cause you will create your own Mii and you can make it tall short fat and thin but after you step on the board to check your BMI, they will adjust your Mii accordingly to make it look like you (in terms of height and weight) so after they step on the Wii Fit board, their Mii shrink shorter and grow fatter!!!! Very cute one!!!!!!

I like this skiing game the most!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Veryyyyyyyyyyyyy fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skiing Game

Honeydrew skiing

Hula hoop

You really need to turn and twist your waist like there is a hula hoop if not it will drop one!! And they will keep throwing you more hoops and you need to catch it and continue to twist and the more hoops you have the bigger rounds you need to make...... this game is very tiring!!!!

Me in action!

Honeydrew in action!

String Balancing

YL in action

This honeydrew very lebih one... he plays each game as if it is real like that!! See he really put both hands out!! Haha!! Even all the other games also he got the actions as if like he is playing a real game like that one!!

Me playing another game where I am in a bubble going down a stream and I need to shift my balance to make it go left, right, front and back and I can't touch the bank of the stream if not my bubble will burst and I will lose.... Also if you want to be more careful and go too slow, there will be bee's flying around and poke your bubble so you will also lose!! Really need skill lar!!!!! I always die when I reach the "Y" york road!

After Wii Fit, we also played Wii 4 person tennis as I brought my controllers there as well..... It's been a loooooong time since I last played Wii lar!!! So its fun!! I really like playing tennis doubles!! I pair with HD and Val pair with YL..... guess who won??? hehehehe They won most of the games la.... BUT most of it are really a close fight!!! It's ok lar... since me and HD doesn't play as often as them!! And good news is I won YL on a one to one tennis!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA This YL always wanna challenge me one!!!!!!!! Luckily I won!! kaka =P

Oh and lastly, remember my pool competition?? It was last Friday and my team got 2nd place!! =D There were 5 snooker players and 4 pool players in a team and you need to win any 5 games to go to the finals. The guys play snooker and the girls play pool. So during the quarter finals, I lost but overall we won 5 games so we went to the finals. At the finals I won but we lost 5 games so we are in 2nd place!! Actually there were 2 really good player only! Both of them are from green team and both of them has got their own pool cue!!! (I also want my own cue larrrrrrrrr keke) The rest of the players are ok only..... and of all luck, I was placed to play with one of the good player from green team and hence I lost lor during the quarter finals...... sighhhhhhhhhhhhh need to pick up pool again and practice more!! Has deteriorate a lot!! Can't even aim properly already!! =(((((( Time for more pool outings!! =)
