When you know you got to take a bunch of gluttons for food, would you be worried these gluttons will not well behave and just rush to the food counter and whack whatever it has?

Few weeks ago, our department had a year end team building. And this time, we had it in the most expensive buffet dinner in Penang Island. Think I don’t need to elaborate more on this place – Spice Market Café @ Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa.

Per person is RM132++ (exclusive of 10% Service Tax and 5% Government Tax), if you have Citibank credit card, you’re entitle for 20% discount. Friday and Saturday will have more variety to choose from the buffet spread. You’ll have raw oysters, slipper lobsters, floral crabs, muscles, gigantic prawns and so on. The Spice Market Café is also famous for its sumptuous food and its open kitchen concept. Diners have the opportunity to see how the chefs prepare the food.

The buffet will start at 6.30pm, but the gluttons are all lined up at 6.10pm. Cuz, everyone was eyeing on the food and everyone was so hungry after the beach activities that had played earlier on.

Need not to say more about these spreads and these are the pictures that tell it all.
The favourite section of all is the ‘grill section’ where people line up to pick their favourite seafood, ie. Lobster, clay fish, prawns, scallops, and cook on the spot. Only 2 sauces that we can choose on, that’s soya mince bean and the other is black pepper. Black pepper sauce is the most favourable one. You wouldn’t be surprised to see how many pieces that they had ordered. Some even have 10 lobsters or 20 scallops.

Another favourite section is the ‘cold cuts section’ where they have lined up all types of seafood like slipper lobsters, raw oysters, crabs, muscles, fresh yabbies and prawns. They are all cooked and placed nicely on top of the ice ‘mountain’. That’s also another favourite for many people.

Apart from the 2 sections, I personally like the sushi bar, where they have assorted sushi and sashimi, sashimi like salmon, tuna, octopus, etc.

The noodle & soup section is also alluring; you have all types of noodle and where you can choose from, from Chinese noodles to English pastas. Soup choices spread from shark fin soup, double boil herbal soup and even seafood chowder.

Not to forget my favourite desserts, spread from cheese cakes, chocolate fondue, Nyonya kuih, ice creams, crêpe, ice kacang, etc.

Apart from all above, I was impressed that they have also cater for other food like chicken tikka masala, murgh malai, tandoori chicken, BBQ prawns, chicken satay, lamb satay, BBQ fish, etc at the corner.

Surprise to see they also offer gratin in the buffet spread too. And it’s sumptuous like oyster gratin.

For the salad section, they have all types of greens and sauces; and some cold meats too. They also have a platter filled with various types of cheese.

Of course, steam white rice, fried rice will not miss out from the buffet spread, with other dishes like stir fry vegetables, squids, prawns, beef and many other dishes.

Ok, guess enough of food for now… pictures below are some nice decoration at the main entrance of The Spice Market Café.


Enjoy!
