Christmas 2010 at Ristorante Beccari, Merdeka Palace Hotel and Suites

The previous  weekend we had Japanese Buffet at Riverside Majastic and then I suddenly had cravings for Italian food last weekend. So, i had to pause my diet program.
I missed Restaurant Beccari, the first time i went there was about 8 years ago with my hubby, and it was also during Christmas.

Many tables reserved with Christmas party pack...

 

 This Italian restaurant at Merdeka Palace is a very cosy and romantic place for a nice date...

 Let's start our meal with the pasta corner for Autumn, that's her favourite...

Nice ambiance with all the decorations...

Beef Lasagna...

Pizza....

Love the roasted Turkey , lamb and mushroom soup...

Yummy prawns, pizza, and my favourite potatoes...

  

 

I was so very tempted by those prawns with cheese, so even i have slight seafood allergy, i still ate them all.. haha! 

Desserts corner with many choices of cakes and desserts, tiramisu, fludge, etc just fill your stomach with those cheese and chocolates..


Fruits like papaya, honey dew, and dragon fruits are all our favourite as well...

 You may also want some ice-cream after meals

Hohoho.. Santa on the cake...

It's Boxing day, Sunday 2010.

Let's just forget about the fat and calories tonight, just eat...

 Look at the messy table full of plates...

 I forgot how many plates have we eaten, but stomachs are all blotted...

Baby below 5 years old is free of charge, so 1 adult is about less than RM80 ...

Nice waterfront view on the wall at Merdeka Palace Hotel, Kuching...

 MERRY CHRISTMAS FOR 2010, Happy New Year for 2011.....

Anyway, Italian Buffet is only available on every Sunday or unless there is a special festive days like Christmas, Boxing Day or New Year's Eve, so you may want to consider here for NYE dinner if the venue is still available, Valentine's Day will be nice as well.

For reservations, you may call 082-258000 for Ristorante Beccari.

Hornbill's BBQ Steamboat Buffet-Salvador's birthday

It was my bro's birthday, and we had ran out of idea on where to eat or celebrate. Definitely not at Big Onion, also not Lok Thian, i had continuously 3 times dinning at Lok Thian last month and i am so fed up with the food there. The children don't like Japanese food , and our parents don't like Western food. Nobody wanted to suggest a place. So in the end, Sylvia suggested, "Hornbill!!"

The pot is ready in the center of both our tables, oh the rate is still the same even though i haven't been here for ages...

I could hardly remember where to get the ingredient of cooking our meals. They poured only the boiling plain water into the pot. So, we had to add all sorts of spices into the plain water to make the soup tasty.

Look at pollen trying to get the cutlery, also all the spices for our soup, while Salvador was trying to gather all the balls in his plate. And the little boys were astonished and kept shouting, "Wow~ Wow~"
Haha.. kids...

Lets start off with putting all the spices into the pot of soup, add some Wong Bak to make the soup taste sweeter.

Everyone was so kiasuu~ cooking standing....
Well, you know why? If you were seated there all night long, im sure there will be blister all over your face. The oil from the hot plate kept splashing, that's why i got this shot.

My poor little Autumn is sweating like hell even though she was wearing so sexy.

Yummy!! The soup was boiling while the meat was cooking..
Compare these 2 pots, mom & dad are so slow and steady, but look at ours!! So Kiasu~ So full!!
All filled with the chicken, beef, lamb, etc... I can't even see the hot plate at all!! LOL


Look at the messy table and our 80% wet shirt... Hmmhhmmm... yummy~
My tips for those who are going to eat at Hornbill, don't shower before you go there.
You will definitely need to shower and wash your hair after the Buffet!! Believe me or not! Just try~


Last but not least.... A group photo for the whole family....

This is the Tiramisu Cake bought from Taka. Every year, we buy at least 15 cakes from this Taka Cakehouse. That's why the taukeh always can't top smiling whenever he sees me or my mom. Guess what! He even gave me a Capuccino Layered cake for CNY!! hehe... Don't be jealous~
