I've scheduled for a post to be publish on the 8th October, but that post did not appeared. When I checked in my 'Edit posts' tab this morning, I realised it was still a DRAFT ! But I do remember clearly that I'd set the date and time. Never mind. 8th October is over, anyway.
Actually, that post was a short note wishing hubby a Happy Birthday. We did not celebrate on the 8th October as we went to a friend's new house for a house warming party. But we literary celebrated on the 9th October. We had buffet lunch ~ western meal @ Viva Home together with my in-laws.
 |
| This was what being included in the buffet when you order a main dish. |
We had actually planned to dine in this restaurant last month. Due to everyone have their own plans over the weekends, it was postponed until last Sunday (9th October) where everyone finally able to attend. Hubby heard about this restaurant from a friend and decided to gave it a try.
 |
| One part of the menu |
The buffet concept works like this. Every adults will have to order a main dish from their menu, and you are entitled to unlimited consumption on the salad bar. Child will be charged at RM15 + , according to certain height.
 |
| Some fresh salad, rojak and cucumber prickles |
I started of with some fresh greens. There were a few types of salad dressings for you to mix and matched.
 |
| XJ enjoying some nuggets and fries |
For XJ, she had some nuggets and fries as a start. I limited her to such deep fried food as afraid she might be too heaty eating them. But I do offer her some other type of food. A bit of here and there are enough to keep her full.
 |
| Taiwanese braised pork rice for YX |
For YX, I get him some rice dish as he does not fancy fries as much as XJ.
 |
| Some of the main dish ordered by my in-laws. L-R (Beef, Prawns, Garlic chicken, squid) Middle - lamb |
Here are some of the main dish ordered by my in laws.
 |
| Hubby's dory fish fillets |
Both hubby and I ordered something the kids could share with us. Chicken & fish.
 |
| My garlic chicken + prawn combo |
As XJ requested for prawn, I ordered a combo (chicken + prawn). The main dish portion are not huge for such price. I believe they marked up the price to cover the buffet spread.
 |
| Black pepper sauce |
They have 2 types of sauces ~ black pepper sauce & beef mushroom sauce. We choose the black pepper sauce. It was thick and taste not bad.
 |
| Garlic bread + mushroom soup |
Besides than salad, they served 2 types of bread. You will have to DIY ~ spread the bread with the desired jam / garlic butter and put them into the oven to toast it. The garlic bread was delicious as it was fresh from the oven. Great to dip them into the mushroom soup. I had 2 bowls of the mushroom soup as they tasted real delicious. It was added with loads of fresh mushrooms too !
 |
| Pop corn + mamak style fried noodles |
There is a pop corn machine and they tasted as good as in the cinema ones. Both my kids had a handful of pop corn as their snacks after their main meal. They served fried noodles ala mamak style but not spicy though. We had a bit of here and there and was quite fillings.
 |
| XJ enjoying the super sweet watermelon |
They served watermelon, honeydew and papayas. I gave both kids some papayas (because good for constipation) but at the end, I had to finish them all by myself as both refused to eat. The watermelon was super sweet and juicy.
 |
| ABC with ice cream + my DIY sago ABC |
After a heavy meal, how can we give desserts a miss ! On the left was ABC with ice cream and on the right was my own creation. I mixed the sago with some shaved ice and jellies and make my own version of ABC. Gula melaka and evaporated milk was provided and you can add as much as you like. The shaved iced was all well prepared earlier and kept in the freezer where you can scoop as much as desired.
 |
| Ice creams |
For those who does not fancy ABC, they can have some ice creams.
 |
| Kid's favourite ! |
Both kids definitely won't give ICE a miss. They sat down so obediently and enjoyed the ice cream. The above portion are not for them alone. We shared with them and I kept asking XJ to feed me which she obliged to do so.
Total bill came up to RM300 ++ for 10 adults and they missed to charge the 2 kids (YX and his cousin). We did not realised that (hubby do not have the habit to check the bill) and I only found out about it when I looked at the bill in the car on the way back. The cashier must have forgotten about the kids and that helped to save us RM30+. haha........
I do find it is a little pricey. For such price we can have a better buffet spread with more varieties. Anyway, we should give new thing a try, isn't ?
