Buffet at Latest Recipe, Le Meridien Hotel

Okay.. this is quite an overdue post, but since I’m talking about food here and if I dun mention when I went you wouldn’t even know. But anyway, it was actually to celebrate Kitty’s birthday (no, not a cat, nor a lady too, he’s a dude, a guy, a soon-to-be man) which falls on October(told ya! it’s overdue post). We were deciding whether to eat those À la carte style but eventually we opted for buffet instead which is Latest Recipe @ Le Meridien Hotel.

I didn’t hear of this place before till Nicole told me and sent me some link about it. Something which totally caught my attention was Teppanyaki Ice-cream. Yeah, you hear me right, Teppanyaki Ice-cream. How does one fry an ice-cream teppanyaki style without melting it? Teppanyaki plate should be hot right? You know, I’m quite a dessert freak and I’ll totally fall for it.

So, we followed GPS and finally we reach our destination.

#1 To the left or to the right? You choose.

#2 We were quite surprise when we enterred the lift. First time I see so many buttons in a lift, there’s 35 floors wey! See till my eyes @.@ .

#3 Finally we’re at Latest Recipe!

#4 Me taking picture at the entrance. =p

#5 One thing though to take note of is that the buffet price exclude drinks except sky juice. So, dun pandai-pandai order a lot of expensive drinks thinking it’s covered for.

#6 And dun think this is some kinda free lemon juice for you to drink, it’s for you to wash your hand k?

#7 We orderred for one Strawberry Lassi, one Pineapple Lassi and one Water Melon juice, EACH cost RM18.00.

#8 Let’s start of with healthy fresh greenish salads. Remember mummy always tell you to eat more greens?

#9 Some ham meat for your salad too.

#10 The dressing for your salads comes in a cute and creative packaging. I mean it’s in those tube bottle like your facial cleansers. It looks like Origin facial cleanser to me. If you put this beside a cleanser on my basin, I might have taken it to wash my face thinking it’s those 100% herbs facial cleanser.

#11 The olive oils and vinegar comes in test tube packaging. Very fresh ideas right?

#12 Further down you’ll see some local dish like Local Fresh Fruit Rojak, Stuffed Beancurd with Vegetables, some Kerabu, etc. I wasn’t too interested with those dishes.

#14

#15 There are also Chinese food with Dim Sums.

#16 And the Indian Cuisine too. There were many dishes for the Indian Cuisine and all kinda keropoks. Yummy yum yum!

#17 Not to forget the Italian section too with Pasta counter. I orderred something like Seafood Carbonara minus the cheese. Yeah, I dun really like cheese,I hate cheddar cheese(I can’t stand cheddar cheese smell, how can you people even ask for extra cheese?!) but I love pizzas and lasagna. You know it’s different kinda cheese right? Err…nevermind, I’ll explain it next time. Anyway, how can I forget to snap a photo of it!!!

#18 They too have Japanese food as well. Of coz, when I say Japanese food, there are always Sushi rolls and Teppanyaki.

#19 With cactus look-alike design wasabi.

#20 The raw sushi. You just need to tell them your choice and they’ll prepare it for you.

#21 This octopus is really huge, looks amazing but kinda gross if you focus on the tentacles.

#22 If you’re really into raw, they have fresh mussels, prawns and oysters too.

#23 Fresh mussels

#24 Fresh Oysters

#25 The food which I love the most and remember how it taste the most was the Teppanyaki. They have a choice of cod fish, chicken, beef, prawns and scallops to choose from. I orderred a mixture of cod fish, prawns and scallops. Wah… I tell you hor, it’s really delicious and fresh! If not mistaken, they mix a little of mayonnaise with the Tepannyaki sauce too. Thinking of it now also mouthful of saliva.

#26 Seafood Teppanyaki.

#27 Close-up for you to see clearer.

#28 Check-out the cod fish texture.I’m feeling hungry now…

#29 There are also some cakes and kuih-muih. All very attractive looking but I din bother to taste even a bit coz I’ve saved my stomach space for ice-creams!

#30 More kuihs and cakes.

#31 Some yummy looking pasties.

#32

#33

#34 If you’re a fan of cheese, there’s quite a few varieties of cheese to choose from. One of the hightlights is the blue cheese.

#35 Finally my all time favourite – Desserts. Seriously, I can’t imagine a world without desserts, it’s like a greatest creation ever!

#36 The chocolates are placed on a spoon and nicely arranged sticking out like it’s screaming “Taste me! Taste me!“.

#37 Check out the chocolate fountains. Wow….look so beautiful~

#38 You have a choice of grapes, strawberries, marshmallows and even dates to dip into the yummy fountain.

#39

#40 There are also waffles available.

#41 This is like chocolate overdose waffles. Although I love chocolates, I got no idea how my friend finished this.

#42 Last but no least is the signature dessert – Teppanyaki Ice Cream. You have a choice of Vanilla, Chocoloate, Strawberry, Coffee, Green Tea and Coconut ice-cream to choose from.

#43 Then, you choose your preferred filling from the candy bar. There are about 42 types of fillings in the Candy Bar to choose from.

#44 The chef will use a flat teppanyaki steel scraper and “cook” your ice-cream on the icy cold tepan instead of the hot ones. Once it’s all mixed, the chef will scoop it to your cup and you may select your preferred toppings such as chocolate chips, chocolate rice, raisins, or others. There’s also strawberry, mango or chocolate sauce for the dressings too.

Just an advise, dun be too greedy and add loads of fillings to your ice-cream. Trust me, done that, ate that. It doesn’t taste good. Stick to the basic rule, simple is good.

#45 I tried the coconut ice-cream. It taste kinda refreshing. My favourite was chocolate chip + green tea ice cream with chocolate rice and chocolate sauce.

#46 Enjoy my ice-cream.

#47 Nice ice cream cup.

#48 I took the opportunity to cam-whore too. Hehe… eat ice-cream also wanna cam-whore. =p

#49 Cam-whoring with Nicole too.

#50 Kitty and Nicole

#51 We go around pose here and there and take photo.

#52 Then we gals went around the hotel to cam-whore too. Paiseh paiseh. You know, gals ma!

#53 After the buffet, Mr. BF followed behind Kitty’s car for the way back. Somehow Kitty din realize that it was red light and he just drove off. We were kinda shocked coz dun think he usually does that, didn’t want to be left behind so we followed closely. DAMN! Mr Police drove on his white bike just drove out from the side and stopped right infront of us questioning why did we beat the traffic. So, I showed him this face.

And he let us go with no tickets.

Nolaz… I din exactly showed him that face but I put up a pitiful looking face and we explained that we didn’t know the way back and was following our friend, we were kinda lost and bla bla bla(we told the truth, really dunno the way back). Then I saw him checking out Mr BF’s newly bought car rim thinking ah crapz! He gonna give us the ticket adi. But eventually, he didn’t. He just gave us a warning and let us go.

How nice if always have such understanding Mr Police. Believe me, we really didn’t do that on purpose.
