Continuation of the previous post
During lunch, we went to a buffet restaurant located in Bitexco Financial Tower.
I was so excited to get into one of the tallest buildings in HCMC...which houses a sky deck.
(nope we didn't go to the sky deck)
this building is located at a busy financial district in HCMC
There's a registration counter for visitors entering the building
After the registration we passed thru these turnstile to get to the escalators and lifts
very much like any typical office buildings in KL
The restaurant is located at upper floors with spectacular city view.
It's huge enuff to cater large group, yet the dining place looks neat and bright
these beers greeted us nearby the entrance...woah, free flow!
rambutans...with skin peeled....not bad eh....especially for lazy people like me!
dragon fruits
cut mangos
guavas
all sorts of cakes, desserts, puddings
egg custard pudding
all sorts of 'tong sui'
the 'pho' station where u can assemble ur own 'pho'
roasted meat section

hard boiled egg (the outer red colour is just coloring)

I tink these wines are for display only

Caesars salad

sauerkraut with sausages

a lil' bit of everything, ended up a plateful of assorted stuffs!!
the desserts that I took - cakes, jelly, sweet bean soup...and some fries to balance out the sweetness
sushi, and soups
I also tried one of the spring rolls
'balut' - a boiled 'developing bird embryo' egg
we left the place feeling full and satisfied...BuRPPPPPPP
there were so much variety and impossible to try out everything
Great services and food. The staffs immediately started to clean our tables while we were leaving!
Wow! You are very keng! Can take photos of all the food there. Did you eat all the balut? Did you like it? How does it taste?
ReplyDeleteYam soup sounds interesting to me
ReplyDeleteMun: There are still plenty more food that I did not take picture. The balut taste like egg with some soft meat & bones. I shared the balut with a few colleagues.
ReplyDeleteLibby: yea, interesting and is very thick too!
Are the bones in the balut egg edible? Did you and your colleagues eat the bones?
ReplyDeleteMun: the bones are soft & edible, u won't realise those are bones when biting on it, just felt a few soft 'crunch'.
ReplyDeleteSo much to eat. Even taking a small piece of everything will be too much for us to take in.
ReplyDeleteFree flow beers?? Wow. My man would be one happy man to enjoy the buffet!!
ReplyDeleteNancy Chan: yea, can't try all at one visit...
ReplyDeleteRose World: hehe....he definitely will!
This Bitexco Financial Tower looks like a very modern and impressive landmark in Hanoi.
ReplyDeleteYou ate so much food! I would be sleepy after eating so much delicious food like your. The coloured eggs is so unique to be served as a dish itself.
