Buffet

All-you-can-eat hotpots are one of my go-to options when I feel like stuffing my face. There’s just something really satisfying about tucking into freshly cooked meat slices and vegetables in tasty broth – which was what I was seeking when Jien and I went to Wagyu More at The Gardens…

I’ve always found it difficult to choose between sukiyaki and shabu-shabu – both are Japanese-style hotpots comprising thinly sliced meats and vegetables, with dipping sauces. The difference between the two is flavour. Shabu-shabu is savoury while sukiyaki leans towards the sweeter side. At Mo-Mo Paradise in Lot 10, you get…

Korean barbeque has always been more of Jien’s thing rather than mine – he enjoys watching meats cook on the grill while I prefer something soupy. Hwa Ga is Solaris claims to serve all the grilled meats, side dishes and soups you can stomach for just RM39++ per pax (lunch)…

And what…

All-You-Can-Eat deals below RM50 is sometimes too good to be true – I recently tried a deal as such at Ruk Mookata in Puchong with a group of friends. Ruk Mookata serves Thai-style BBQ and steamboat using a charcoal pit, which is said to give the meats more flavour. Getting…

As the month of Ramadan approaches, restaurants and hotels are gearing up to ensure they deliver the best ‘buka puasa’ spread one can ask for. Signature masakan kampung dishes, heirloom recipes and old favourites all come out to play – making it difficult for diners to stop at just one…

I equate Korean barbeque to me smelling like grilled meat after the meal, and I’m often right. Even the best suction fan can’t dispel the smoke and aroma from the meats grilling on hot plate. And then there’s the oil sizzle bit when fat comes into contact with heat. If you’re…

Buffets offer value and variety, two keywords that often comes into consideration when dining out. Aoki Tei in Sunway Nexis is one of the newer Japanese restaurants in town (by Umai-Ya) that offers the buffet concept where customers pick the items they like from the two-page menu available. Seating is…
