It was not a very good day, was packed with plenty of stuff and work loads, but the not so happy part was, I met an accident, long story cut short, dented door, need money to fix and hence not so...great a day. But no kidding, sometimes people do say...Happiness' initial is food. *alright, I might have just made that up, but for me that is kind of true, lol*
Getting from a fellow blogger information, 12 years, this is The Original Macam Macam Ada Mega Buffet's 12th years. That is a grown up child already. For me, i gotta say, memang you'll see the diversity in culture, in food, in people if you are at this buffet.
I see Chinese eating together with Muslims friends, and other wise.
I see all sorts of food being served by Grand Magherita, from Chinese food, Japanese food, Middle East food, or course the delicious local delicacies!
And yes, friends, I am already like an hour late when I arrived at the dinner, an hour after our Muslim's friends break their fast due to the not-so-happy incident, but look at the crowd photo I snapped, people are still there, having their food, having chit chat with their companies and having a real good time I must say!
Hence, I put my cameras down, settle down a little bit, apologize to all my fellow bloggers about the very late arrival and cerita accident bermula.
*NOTE: I am always the panglipulara no matter where, -story teller*
A story which I am not gonna tell in here, really, if u see me, let me know you wanna listen to the story, I will verbally tell you, its more story telling like that.
So, it is more to food time instead of talking, turning to Tia, i asked, what's highly recommended?
Without any doubt, she go straight with PENANG CHAR KUEH TIAW!
I am a big fan of Char Kueh Tiao to be honest, you know the a little bit hangus taste, not bitter, but it is a little over fried by the cook. The one shown in the picture is pretty much like how I describe it, but the extra thing that I was so glad when I took a bite, was the spicy sambal used to fried Kueh Tiao. Uhh! That taste, definitely makes you wanna go back for another round for sure, I did!
This one is pretty much like lok lok that we normally eat around town, but there is one thing that is differentiate between them and the rest of the other lok loks, yes, the sauce! The sauce with the lok lok that is being served at Grand Magherita is spicy, sweet and a little salty, you might be thinking the famous lok lok near Kuching High School taste almost the same, but I am telling you no! It is not the same, it has its own unique taste! And man, the Ngo Hiang (spring roll) is crispy and remind me of my late uncle, he used to make what I called the best ngo hiang I will ever taste!
Because I was waiting for the sotong kangkung, I went over and grabbed the omelette, not a big fan of oyster cook this way, or maybe the Penang way, I have little comment about the omelette.
And the sotong kangkung that got me waiting for, cause the aunty that is behind the station went to grab more sotong and also kangkung, then you know what does that mean, too good! Everyone want some, that's why...habis! I was good for me because of the ingredient were fresh!
Up to the sotong kangkung, I started to feel a little bloated, maybe due to my mood, I slow down a little in the food consumption, but I told myself, this is an opportunity that I obtain, I must not let it to waste, hence I got up and went to the local delicacies station, and I grab a few piles and piled it onto my plate and get back to the table. There are fried vegetables, chicken, fried rice and beef on my plate (photo under) I would say, quite a normal one that we had everyday, but one stands out a lot, that is the beef! Tender and juicy, simple as that. It does not have plenty complicated ingredients to prepare the dish, but the juice that has been extracted out after cooking, I wish my mom find out the ingredient about this. Lol
Right after the plate with that juicy beef, I got extremely bloated and really started to feel not so well, really does not know what went wrong. But photos are the extremely nice, sweet and candylicious cakes that fellow bloggers had gathered for the table, everyone went back with high-sugar level, I am quite sure, but everyone was darn happy with the cakes!
And the Japanese food! Garner took this and also wanted it to share it with the table, I sat there, with saliva drooling, wanted to have a piece but all I know was the damn bloated tummy, not a very right moment..
The Original Macam Macam Ada Ramadhan buffet is here for the entire month, you can actually go down and have a taste with all the great foods yourselves at adult RM 100 and kid at RM 50 only! Pretty worth it I tell you, really!
The number is there to be dialed, and we would really like to thank Grand Magherita for the delicious food! WoHoo! and here is the Group Photo!
