Buffet marathon

We are back from my kind of marathon!  Our booking was originally for October 2020 but it had to be postponed twice due to the pandemic.  This package was named "Stay kawtim, Makan Unlimited" and covered four consecutive buffet meals - lunch, tea and dinner on one day, breakfast the next.  Greedy me was intrigued the moment I saw the deal.  It was only RM418 including a nights' stay at Sunway Putra hotel for 2 adults and 2 kids.

So first, we went for buffet lunch.  Ahhh not bad at all.  Hotel-standard environment and food (meaning not super-great but not too bad) .

I always like being able to try a bit of this and that.  There was a decent variety of Western and Asian food.

We have... dessert!

After eating our fill, we could check in already.  Must say the hotel staff were friendly and helpful.  We chilled for a bit in the room before emerging for buffet tea.  As expected, I didn't have the stomach space to do this much justice.  Had some kuih, currypuffs, rojak, banana fritters, tapioca fritters.  I sampled some mee goreng mamak but balked at other carbos.  Luckily had space for dessert hehe.

Sago pudding and cute creme brulee. Greenie is pistachio

After tea we strolled around in the mall next door.  Then back to the room for iPad time.  The thing about not allowing the girls to play iPad much on normal days is, what they look forward to on holidays is being able to play non-stop!  Heh kinda strange but ok lah.  As long as they are happy.

We surfaced again for a late buffet dinner.  Hmm this was the meal we liked the least.  It was mainly rice with dishes and the same offerings for dessert.  Wish they rotated the selection since we were having 3 sessions in a row.  Like the huge tray of bread and butter pudding was there for lunch and tea.  The same type of cakes were served for lunch and dinner.  The same strawberry ice cream and toppings for all 3 sessions - at least rotate the flavour?

Anyway the girls happily ate ice-cream at all 3 sessions.  Multiple servings each time too.

Mmm!

 Next post... non-food related.

  1. A buffet marathon would be great for those with big appetite. We can only taste a bit of this and that. The girls look happy with free flow ice creams and desserts, and of course unlimited time with iPad! Ha ha ha...most important everyone had a wonderful time.

    1. Not to be prejudiced but I did notice quite a few 'big' people! Mostly families though.

  2. i got great appetite but my stomach cannot fit in so much food! So what are the available dishes there? Local M'sian or mixed of various international cuisines?

    1. A mix. Pasta, western-style lamb/chicken, soup with buns+butter, Malay/Chinese/Indian. Standard hotel fare. But it was a steal at that price!

  3. Very good deal for 2 adults and 2 children because nowadays 400 can only get a family of 4 one meal in a hotel restaurant. I would go for multiple helpings of strawberry ice cream at every session too! 😋😋😋Good to see everyone enjoyed this staycation or eatcation.

    1. Yes agree! Very good deals from Sunway hotels - this, and the Sunway Lagoon one we got earlier.
