Lunch buffet at the Colonade restaurant, the Sukhothai hotel, BKK

The place was very quiet during lunch.  The cold dishes were all good and I didn't expect much from the hot dishes as usually it's difficult to maintain good quality for the hot dishes.  In general, it's a nice lunch buffet and the plus was the free flow of coffee and tea.  I was surprised with the selected quality coffee they served.

River Cafe, Peninsula Bangkok

It's been 8 years I haven't been to this hotel after the most horrible experiences.  Supposed I should have deleted this hotel for good.  However, I heard from a friend about having a 50% discount of the buffet (about THB1,300 net per person after this discount) of the main restaurant.  As when I stepped in the restaurant, it was about 5-10% occupancy.  The below photos also told how quiet of this place.  The raw oyster was very tiny and some of them not so fresh.  So I just picked 2.  The sashimi was good though.  The hot food was a bit too dried out or mashy because the customers flow didn't make it in a fresh rotation.  The grill wasn't too nice and the chef was quite careless from not cooking the seafood properly.  The squid was quite watery inside.  The ice cream reminded me of TWG.  It could stay unmelted for an hour.  The fruit selection was quite limited with only papapa, water melon and dragon fruit.  The cake was good.  So if you come here for a dinner buffet, better just take the sashimi, salad and cake.

Breakfast at Okura Prestige Taipei

The hotel tried to resemble not just the hardware but also the software of their Japanese style.  The buffet closed at 10am and last entry at 9:30am.  So we got a bit stressed in catching the buffet timing that the next day we forwent it.  The food was at average and missing it wouldn't be a loss.

Full board with Komandoo Maldives

Once again, a resort restaurant being good is a plus.  So I would find it a plus with Komandoo, from breakfast, lunch to dinner, even though it's served with buffet 3 times a day.  All the food are good except for the dessert (but not my serious concern).  They also have some theme nights and on the last night, we had a BBQ beach dinner.  Quite thoughtful for you not to get bored.

Dee Lite, DoubleTree by Hilton Sukhumvit BKK

Came here for a lunch buffet on a Saturday noon time.  There were 3 tables and then left 1 (mine).  The food is so so.  Only the pumpkin soup and the bread station made it up.  The good part is that you can have a very silent place to dine.
