Sungkai Buffet - Sheraton Utama Hotel

Ambience - Nicely lit food stations, the fairy lights and water trickle into the pool were nice touches.

Drinks - Free flow teh tarik & orange cordial & water

Food - Kambing bakar was blue rare and had to finished off in the bbq - thereby toughening the meat. Personally I think it should have been cooked earlier and longer with no raw parts (look at the legs). I am sure the meat will be more tender this way.

I can see why it was so popular as it was nicely marinated and very tasty and it was a shame about the texture of the meat. (Perhaps the tender parts have all been taken earlier.....)...

Rest of food was not bad -some good and some forgettable. Of particular mention would be the deep fried curry leaf battered prawns. They were of a good size and freshly fried, so was not hard (as all deep fried food left for long periods will become). The beef rendang was tasty and flavourful, but again the meat was tough. Shame. Perhaps longer cooking or a different cut of meat?

Desserts - Not a good idea to leave desserts (cream cakes, fruits - uncovered/unchilled) out for hours in the hot humid weather we are experiencing. I didn't have any.

Staff - Excellent as usual from Zul & Johannes and a big hello to Chef Nova. There were a number of new staff who appear enthusiastic and who were practicing the Sheraton 'touch'.

Value for money - At $22.00 + 10%, pretty good. The ambience and excellent service gather high points for me.

Worth a second visit? - Yes, but I will be go earlier (than 7.30 pm) to get the choice cuts of lamb and if the choice and display / storage of desserts is improved.

p.s The sambal belachan was excellent - very pedas with that delicious aromatic shrimpy smell/taste.
