Eating Spree (Part 1/2)

" When eating a fruit, think of the person who planted the tree " - Vietnamese Proverb

Just a week after the Melaka trip, I was off to yet another 'makan-makan' outing. As you can see, this is the first part of the whole 'spree'. Saturday, 31st May, was a night booked for a buffet dinner at Sheraton Subang's Terrazzo Brassie. On the surface, it was a nice place with nice food and a nice get-to-gather. Deeper in would be just the feeling of joy and an expression i can't word out! This joyous outing, with my uncles and aunties, left us with a full tummy that took us more than 4 hours to digest.

We went in quite a big group, which allowed us to occupy the whole section of an area. What's on my plate? Crunchy shrimp with mayo, succulent chicken satay, scrumptious beef rendang and...

Amidst the dinner, we brought in the birthday cake and sang my uncle the song. Sorry, no picture on this.

After dining on the appetizers and the main course meals, it was high time to head for the dessert corner. And it was my favourite. The cakes and 'kuih' looked inviting and i fulfilled my goal of the night - to feast on the cakes. Just look at my plate!

To ice my mouth was the ice cream. Scoop them yourself and add in lots and lots of chocolate syrup, pounded peanuts and white chocolates to taste.

Before leaving the cafe, i stood by the cake section and took this picture. FYI, the food was aplenty when we wanted to leave. According to one of the chefs there, they will throw the excess food away if not consumed. They are not allowed to pack them home either. What a waste.

It's alright to, once in a while, spoil and pamper yourself to eat. Forget dieting during the holidays. Hit the gym when it ends. But do eat with consideration. Never take in excess and throw them into the bin later. Always remember, we are currently facing shortage of food and the number of people in hunger across the globe are on the rise (why am i suddenly feeling emotional?).

Back to the night, the decor and ambiance of the place is warm and welcoming. Priced at RM 88++ for an adult, RM 44++ for a 4-12 year old child and free for children below 4, we had privileges and need not pay that high.

Look to the sky, from where we sat.

wc08 was full with food throughout the night which he then hibernated 'til the next morning. And the next morning was yet another adventure, headed North, and with that comes Part 2!
