Ever had one of those days where you were looking for one thing and got something else better instead? This was to be one of those days. Walking around Neo Damansara was kinda like being in a scene of Resident Evil where the entire building is just empty, and you can hear silence resonating from the walls.
Kenneth, my sole one2two crew for the day, and I walked down a staircase to the lower ground floor from the chaotic car parking slots located at the back of the building, and found to our delight a restaurant that looked pretty new, and empty.
It's a good thing they had buntings out front with wonderfully appetising pictures of the dishes they served. And the mention of RM10 set lunch was appealing enough.
We almost had the entire restaurant to ourselves. It is, a new restaurant located in a really secluded building after all.
When the food arrived, it looked scrumptious. The colours were rich and inviting, just like those on their buntings!
The taste? My lamb stew was succulent and rather 'chewy' but not 'rubbery', which was good. Each chew released the flavours of the meat, complemented by the flavourful sauce that made it a sublime experience.
Kenneth's chicken was equally tantalising, and went well with the soup, white rice and 2 scoops of ice-cream for dessert.
I know I just had to return for their buffet, which by the way had a 50% off promotion. RM29.95 after discount for eat-all-you-can tapas, seafood, pizza and steak. (That's right, normal price of RM59.90 to resume only after 31 August 2010).
The dinner buffet begins at 6pm. I arrived from work at about 7pm plus, joined by my wife after a 15 minutes head start for me, which I spent at the salad bar where they had the lobster salad, cold-serve prawns and the works.
On the left, by the wall, were the stews - chicken, beef and lamb. You name it, they have it. All full-flavoured and richly satisfying.
On the other side of the restaurant was the kitchen. What you have to do is place a clip (or clips) with your table number on it onto the bowl with the name of the dish you wish to order. And they serve it to you once it's ready.
Similarly on the 'grill' side of the kitchen, you can place your orders for steaks, fish, prawns, clams, mussels, mushrooms and anything else that they display on labeled plates as shown above.

Need assurance on the overall experience? Ask the boys what they think:
3 out of 4 ain't bad.
One made strangely horrifying 'spongy' omelettes. The other turned over my sunny side up.
