Contango Buffet Dinner

For our 2018 birthday, we celebrated with buffet dinner at Contango at the Majestic Hotel KL. Surprisingly, many people come to Contango for the buffet due to the awesome array of food and also the cheap price of only RM 110 per pax compared to other 5 Star Hotels which charge at least RM 150 per pax.

Jonathan was so hungry he started eating first while I went upstairs to change to a more comfortable clothing.


The difference between dinner and lunch buffet is that dinner buffet has small lobsters.





The myriad of fresh raw seafood available






The star highlight for myself would be the variety of Japanese buffet especially the sashimi and sushi that made my mouth water when I saw them. I love the thick pieces of salmon, maguro and also the jellyfish and seaweed! Few weeks after that, I did not eat sashimi anymore.











Tuna salad

One of my favourite are the Japanese scallops in humongous portions
The char koay teow booth, whereby they cook it hot. It didn't taste good, though there were a lot of ingredients inside like fishcake, greens and bean sprouts. Luckily we didn't order this for room  service as oer Jonathan's earlier wishes and I stopped it as it cost RM 60++


I was too full to try the lasagna though was tempted to try 







I had to add chilli as it was not spicy enough.










The other best part besides the Japanese buffet is the wide array of desserts. The cakes are served individually instead of cutting 1 big cake into many smaller pieces
















The delectable artisan ice-cream




The fresh juices


Twinnings Tea anyone?


Even better, if you have room in your stomach, you can pay a reasonable price for the wine buffet! I almost wanted to do it just that I was too full




At the end of the night, I surprised Jonathan with a birthday cake, it seems the waiters there are skilful in birthday surprises







 


Kyubei @ Isetan 1Utama

We went shopping at 1Utama for some clothes as I needed new clothes to wear for presentation when I travel a lot nowadays. After a lot of walking for 5 hours, we had dinner at Kyubei the Isetan cafe, which is our first time. Initially I hesitated to eat here thinking it is cooked by immigrant and changed my mind after seeing the Chinese cook. We had to wait almost 25-30 mins for the food to arrive as there was only one chef.

We ordered the okomoyaki (RM23.60) which was surprisingly so delicious and could rival the one in Japan. The best part was the shell design drawn on top of it using the sauce.





The beef steak (RM 27.40) was half-cooked to my liking, just too bad it was cold by the time it arrived.


We might come back again for the yaki soba. Portions were big and the prices affordable.


Fullhouse Prawn Mee

It is quite rare to find tasty Penang hawker fare in KL, thanks to KYspeaks fb, I finally found it at Fullhouse kopitiam. The same stall sells prawn mee and also koay teow ting






The prawn mee (RM8) is so full of flavours here simply incredible! Simply unable to describe unless you try it yourself.




I rarely will tell you that a certain koay teow ting is delicious but the duck koay teow ting is simply incredible, flavoursome and clear soup. The wait was super long for the food but well worth it!
