Ipoh Casuarina's yukky buka puasa buffet!
Buffet dinner at Casuarina Ipoh!!
( the right place always.... if u are looking for the WRONG food!)
F had to entertain her clients/customers in Ipoh so we tumpang makan juga!!! The hotel is supposedly a 4 star one ( bleugh!) but the garden terrace dining place was full even tho her customer had booked 2 weeks in advance ( why so popular i have no idea! ) Maybe its cuz its Puasa time. So we had to go for the cheaper buffet upstairs at the banquet hall. The spread is slightly smaller but it was very Malay in style. I do enjoy Malay food but this time around it was not my cup of tea. The fish curry tasted weird , and the rest of the food was all sub-standard! I think i can get better food at the buka puasa bazaar! Ptui!
The most disappointing is that this particular buffet does not seem to replenish its food nor drinks!!! We went home terribly dehydrated , no one came over to fill our glasses of plain water, and even the drinks counter ran out of syrup drinks and teh tarik!!!
And get this ~ we had to literally brew our own coffee and not with the simple 3 in 1 but from a huge packet of Nescafe powder with a spoon in it !!!! Faint Faint!!! ( Ini macam hotel standard!??)
The dessert spread was pathetic too ~ Malay cakes are suppose to be the best desserts around but it was all yukky!! The only edible one was the cucur which we only managed to get 2 plates of 5 pieces, and i think we only ate 2 each! And that was it ~ they didn't bother to fry more even tho the kuali was still there filled with hot oil! There were the keropok lekor left but we had to eat that plain cuz they ran out of chillie sauce!!!
So we left the buffet dinner water-less, teh tarik-less, cucur-less and chillie sauce-less! My sis had told me that they have cakes on offer from 6pm to 10pm there so i bought 2 slices of cheese cakes ~ an Oreo one and a marble choc one. And when i ate the Oreo one , it was stale and i had to spit out it out ! Geez, i wonder if all the 4 stars lost its twinkle at the hotel!!
Ipoh with its city status , Pul-lease lah , maintain your standards or else Ipoh will no longer be food haven !!!
E-eeeewwwww!
