Boxing Day Treat @ Garibaldi

It's Boxing Day and I was treated to a hearty and delicious lunch buffet @ Garibaldi by gal. Gal juz received her 13th month bonus, something I wished I have too =(

It has been quite a long time since I had buffet. Most of the buffets serve a huge varieties of food, but quality wise, it may not be tat good. However, this is not quite the same at Garibaldi, where they serve ala-carte buffet in 3 courses: Starter, Main & Desserts. You can re-order any dishes as many times as you wish. Btw, they have excellent service too !

And it's one of the restaurant that I do not mind coming back again !

Nice slice of bread for us while we wait for our starters to come.
Oliver oil with Vinegar to go with the bread

here starters !!!
*Slurp Slurp* !!

Big fresh oysters !!!! Seems like I'm feasting lots of oysters recently !! The slice of lemon is wrapped up with a cloth so that when you squeeze the lemon, you wun have to go through the trouble removing the seeds. How thoughtful ! =)

This is the first time eating oyster without any tobasco sauce. But it was surprisingly good ! The oysters have the "hai yang de wei dao" !!! It's as though they have juz been caught and served immediately ! =p~~

Fishy Fishy ! This dish certainly doesn't look like or taste like an Italian cuisine. It looks more like a Thai food. Fried fish fillet that doesn't taste oily and compliment well with the spicy sauce.

Awesome Seafood Salad !
Generous amount of seafood within the salad.
I certainly wun shun away from such salad ! =p

hmmm..... I dunno wat's this ....
Juz eat and finish everything off =p

The first of our mains ...... Pasta is always associated with Italian food and they are simply delicious !!! After trying the pastas here, all other pastas probably pale in comparision. You would definitely wanna come back again !! Nothing was left on the plate at the end, probably not even the sauce ! =p

My favourite main !!!! Why ?? Cos it's very cheesy !!! Guess the photo speaks for itself, need no futher write-up from me =p

Another nice Fishy mains !! =p~~~~

It's Turkey breast but it's all soft and tender !! Amazing and it's not too dry too !! I was surprise to find chestnuts inside the dish, something which is quite oriental. I love chestnut btw, used to buy it form the makeshift stalls, happily peeling it and munching it away =p

Well, did i mention you can re-order any of the dish again?? Was quite shock when gal wanted another serving of oysters, so this is why the photo pops up while we are having our mains.

The desserts and Us !

We were quite surprise and sad that this is the only dessert plate. Perhaps we were expecting a few desserts to be served instead of juz this plate. For the choz lovers or the sweet-tooth! =)

hmmm.... these props look familar, don't they? =p Well, as you can see from the previous photo, it's a deco on the table. Guess we are suppose to observe our dining etiquette, but who cares =p Trying to dress up a bit to show the X'mas mood !

Stubborn gal who is allergic to wines and alcoholic drinks but still likes drinking them, especially red wine.
Zzzzz....
