Anniversary Makan @ Parkroyal: Arabian Nights Theme

As Boo stepped into the car, he said "Don't want to go to Gurney Plaza"
Cher," Why, I thought we're suppose to go to Seoul Garden?"
Boo, "Tomorrow's a public holiday. For sure the place will be packed."
Cher "Then where wanna go makan?"
Boo, "Let's head up to Batu Feringghi"
Boo, "Have you tried fine dinning?"
Cher "Nope haven't, but don't want, very expensive. Plus we both won't be full"

So with much discussion we ended up at Parkroyal's Tamarind Brasserie for the Arabian Night Buffet Dinner. Food was so so.

This is the what was served as appetiser. I liked the way how they decorated the food. The chef's must have had a fine time arranging the food. Let's see what was in this picture, (from left to right) Tofu, Chicken and Ham salad, Sashimi, some meat wrapped with Lotus Leaf, Pork slices with Sugee, and Pickled vegetable








Continuation of the appetiser. Check out the egg shells. This I liked the most from the appetiser place. It's Egg Mayo inside the cute lil egg shells. The far right side is a japanese udon noodle.

This is the dessert section from one angle. They had caramels, blueberry tarts, cakes, jelly, Mango Moose, Ice cream and some Arabian desserts such as (Idli lookalike) and the assorted Cheese Platter.

This is the grilling section. You can choose your meats (beef, lamb, chicken, fish, crab, prawns) and vegetable for the chefs to cook. Then at the far end there's Char Koay Teow. Besides these, there's lasagne, Tandoori chicken with Naan Bread and fried chicken wings with Chips. There was another section of food, but I didn't take a shot. It was basically food in the "containers?" like Fish curry, Nasi Bryani, Chicken curry etc together with Tomato Soup and Lentil Soup.

The food there basically looked nice...but somehow when you eat it, there's not much taste to it. It's abit tasteless. Abit dissapointing, but it didn't stop us from eating.

This is what I took for my third helping. Right side is the Tandoori chicken with Naan Bread together with potato and yogurt sauce. Then on the plate I took Mutton, Stuffed Potato, Sushi rice with quales egg, Pork slices with Sugee and stuffed meat wrapped in lotus leaf.

That's me with my first helping of dessert. Skirt at this moment was going to burst.....

That's boo with his cooked meats and vegetable. I was surprised when he took that plate with vegetable. He enjoyed the Vegetable cos they cooked it for him.

All in all....you may think...Arabian Night Theme...what's with the western food, appetisers and dessert...hahhaha I too myself was thinking...the food served doesn't match the theme. Plus they had a three band performing singing oldies....which once again....shouldn't there be some belly dancers around???

But we both enjoyed ourselves. We had the band sing at our table a song by Elvis Prestley. Waiters and Waitresses there served us very well. Guess cos there weren't many people dining that day. So it's a thumb up for that.
