New template design??
Photobucket
Eh? Where is the new blog template design that were mentioned before? Well...the plan was kinda pull off. No matter what xml template I use, namely workaholic, touch river, view port, masipag and much more (those are really nice blogspot template, google it and see), it just does not feel right with my blog. So back to the simplistic design then haha.

Birthday Girl
On 20th of August 2010, is a very special day for my girl friend.She turned 21 years old on that very special day. In other word she already has wings on her back and is ready to make her maiden jump to fly in the sky haha. She came to KL on that day so I decided to bring her to have dinner at a very authentic dining place, Tao........

Well Tao is a Asian themed buffet restaurant. Its located at the newly developed Sunway Giza in Bandar Utama and the place is very easy to find if you drive. More info on the restaurant can be found at http://www.tao-cuisine.com/
We make a booking earlier to prevent disappointment when we reach there. Tao was previously well known to be a very reputable restaurant and has provided high-standard services at their branches in Pulau Pinang. And things are on par on this newly opened branch also. As soon as we arrive we were greeted by the helpful staff which lead us to the reception desk. After few confirmation on the booking made earlier then we were bought to our seat and then a very friendly waiter approached to assist us. First we ordered our drink and there are a few variety of drinks available, and one of my favorite is the jasmine tea, not to mention it's bottomless too. You should try it if you go there. And then we were given choices to either order food listed on the menu, or to self service on the food prepared at the serving table.

We were confused at first, don't know what to choose or what to eat first. But then the waiter approached us again, an suggested us to try the restaurant recommended top-ten cuisine. Sounds great to us so we give it a try on that. And in about just 5 mins, the first food arrives...

Grilled Scallop
The scallop. Well I can't remember what is it called but it is the best food that the restaurant make. It has cheese and mustard (probably) grated lightly with peppers topped on the finely grilled, juicy and tender scallop. Its a very delicious and I remembered that this is the food that I ate the most on that night. All I can say is that this is the restaurant's trademark and everyone should try this, I mean must try this at any cost!!

We actually ordered a few plates of the wonderfully delicious scallop after that. And while enjoying the unique taste of the scallop, the rest of the top-ten list food eventually prepared and served (almost forgot about the remaining 9 foods haha). Next we received the lightly-sauced abalone, which was fairy nice.

Abalone
And followed up is the Lamb Teriyaki. The lamb were cooked nicely with the meat is quite tender but yet the juiciness of the meat is still retained, splendid.

And not to mention Salmon Hiroyaki, which is also one of my favorite dishes. The salmon were cooked on hot plate, sizzled with lemon juice and olive oil with lightly applied butter and grated with chives, sesame seeds and onion leaves. The taste of it is wonderful and I will definitely recommend it.

And then we received the remaining top-ten food which will require me days to explain how delicious it is (which obviously I am going to skip that). Lets allow the pictures to tell the story shall we?

While my girl friend and my friends were enjoying the top-ten dishes (which I didn't take photo for the remaining two), I started to enjoy the authentic design of the restaurant interior. Its's very well designed, the ambient is controlled nicely with the right amount of light together with the soothing music playing in the back, it create a very unique dining experience.

The self-serving food are arranged in a very simple but elegant manner. And all of the food are replenished quite fast. In other words the food will not finish and you don't have to wait for the food to be prepared. Nice...

There is also the teppanyaki section where we can choose the ingredient ourself and placed it in the bowl with our table's number plate clipped on it, and then just wait for it to be served to our table. It's just that easy. The teppanyaki were prepared very fast and the food taste great too.

One more thing worth mentioning about this restaurant is about their seafood. Well your buffet experience won't be complete unless you tried their seafood. And trust me, they are one of the best that I ever eaten before. The fresh oyster, for instance, is very very fresh. This oyster does not have the kind of smell (I don't know how to describe) compared to oyster offered at other restaurant and the only taste it has is freshness. Another thing worth trying is their nigiri. As a salmon lover, I think I had two plates full of salmon nigiri. It's really really fresh and the salmon is cut so precisely so that the meat won't break easily or splitted. (do note cutting salmon fish requires high level of skills) Nigiris such as kani, inari, ebi, unagi and much more are available too and they also taste good and very fresh, but still the salmon nigiri really triggered my taste bud on that night (other than the grilled scallop haha).

Then it's time for the main item of the day, candle blowing...
My girlfriend's sister bought a cake for her and we sang her birthday songs. We sang quite loud and I think we are the winner among all, as there are quite a number of groups celebrating birthday for their friends too. And it's photo taking time...

And then we moved on to the dessert session haha. There are quite a range of desserts prepared and all seems to be very tasty. Too bad that most of us were too full to try all of it. But it still feel great that there is so much to choose from there.

At this point, almost all of us have reached the limit, as we are so darn full. But there is alot more to eat haha. By that time it's almost approaching the restaurant's closing time so we decided to take a few photos around the restaurant.

At the end, we left the restaurant at about 12.30 am (as we took quite a number of photos haha). I am so glad that my girl friend was happy during that night and we were also very satisfied with the food and services of the restaurant. Another trip again in the future? Definitely a yes to me!
