Tao ala-carte buffet, a place that no need further introduction. When Tao opened a branch in Sunway Giza Shopping Mall, we were so thrill with it and planned to have a trip there. We mentioned about it over and over again for about a year, but we never go there even once. =.=
We missed their 50% promotion last year, so this year we were not going to miss it again. And we went. My girl was born in May so she was entitled a 50% discount for dining there during May.
Upon sitting down, the waiter asked if this was our first time there. We answered yes and he started to introduce us with their top 10 dishes in a very high speed. He spoke so fast that we actually didn’t know what was he introducing but just nodded and agreed to have all the top 10 dishes. He is well trained and we thought he has potential to be a good salesman. We then hopped around to have a glance at the place while waiting for the so-called top 10 dishes.
BBQ Bar
Cold Cuts Bar
Sushi and Sashimi
Salad Bar. Not impressive at all.
Dessert Bar. Miserable varieties.
Chocolate Fountain. Hmm… at least this one made me happy a bit.
Here comes their top 10 and other food that we ordered:
Shimeji Bata Yaki
Kaki Hiroyaki
Motoyaki Scallop
Abalone
Lamb Teriyaki
Abalone Soup
Soup of The Day
Taiwanese Mantis Prawn
Bamboo Clam (Seasonal)
Prosperity Shrimp
Tempura Moriawase
Yaki Udon
Drunken Chicken
Skewered Prawns
Sushi and Sashimi
Shishamo Katsu
Unagi Mushi Tofu
Age Gyoza
Eryagii Mushroom Yaki
Steam Gyoza
Nasu Denggaku
Tebasaki Shioyaki
Mango Shrimp Roll
Steam Hamaguri
Ice-cream
Gui Leng Gou, Jelly and Green Tea Cake
Cheese Tart, Cream Puff, Mini cake and Jelly
To sum up the buffet, I would said that it was just average. The service was good but the food was just alright, and the dessert was a total dissapointment as both my girl and I love buffet with wide array of eye catchy desserts and ice-creams.
