HOW TO PUT ON 2 KGS OVERNIGHT

Went to Empire Hotel for their seafood buffet. I won't say if I ate everything on these lovely plates of food, but I came pretty close....















Plate 1 - Cold poached prawns, salmon sashimi & octopus sashimi
Plate 2 - Cold peeled prawns, smoked salmon & oysters (I wish I had a glass of chilled chardonnay to go with these but alas, its the Atrium, they are more flexible at Pantai).

Plate 3 - More smoked salmon. These were coated with black sesame seeds. And MORE prawns.

















Next:

Main Course

Thinly sliced roast beef with beef jus & mustard (not hot enough for me), tempura prawns & tiny roast potatoes.
















Then, a Thai soup with beansprouts and I added lots of salad leaves from the buffet. It was very tasty but I think too much MSG (flavour enhancer) was added. I woke with a raging thirst at 3.30 am this morning and have been up since then.

















More to come:

The desserts

Bread & Butter Pudding Topped with Almond Flakes and served with lashings of custard sauce.
















This is carrot cake, cheese cake and blackforest cake. And a tiny slice of raspberry mousse. I usually love carrot cake but this one was sticky so no points there. However the blackforest cake was delicious and I had to have another slice. (You can spot watermelon in the corner and that was my bid for healthy living last night).

















R's treat last night - thanks R, and have a great time in Vancouver/Edmonton.
