Both Lian & Yean have been here before. I haven't, so here we are. The price has increased, since their last visit. It is now MR21.80 for adult and MR12.00.
I wondered if the restaurant in Miri Boulevard Center still do the same thing. I like this restaurant (Restaurant Talipon, old Klang road) better because there are more food to choose from. You have the choice of grilling your own prawns, fish, chicken, pork, lamb, squid, etc. etc. or you can eat the cooked meat (it was sesame chicken when we were there, looked like they only have 1 kind of meat that is cooked) from a table with other cooked food, like shark fin's soup, fried rice, fried noodles, fried wonton.
Problem with buffet meal is that one has a tendency to eat too much. Personally, I prefer to be served with properly cooked food.
You can take any amount of butter (which come in tiny tiny bowls) for grilling. Yean took 3 bowls for the 3 of us. I thought they were cup-cakes because they looked like yellow cup-cakes. I was thinking that they must be special cup-cakes otherwise why is Yean taking them!
Not sure about grilling meat on the hot plate. My fear is that the meat might not be properly cooked. And the continual use of butter so that the plate would be kept oiled.
I grilled 2 small promfets and probably 6 big prawns only. I prefered the steamboat, which is in the middle of the whole plate. You can put any food into the steamboat bowl to boil - stuffed beancurd, fish balls, meat balls, dried beancurd sheets, mushrooms, clams, whole shelled eggs, different kinds of vegetables, etc. etc.
Lian, with her arm cover, just in case the melted butter 'jump' out.
Yean is digging out some butter from his tiny cup, to oil the hot plate.
For dessert, there are choices of fresh fruits (water-melon, rambutan, mangosteen, etc.), ice-cream, jelly and I don't know what else because I didn't really look at them.
Ice-kacang/cendol is another option for dessert. After the heat from the grilling, ice-kacang/cendol sounds great. I asked Lian to create her version. It was nice. Among all the ingredients inside this dessert, I liked the kidney beans best.
