Hi!
In the City I work, we decided to have lunch in a nearby Restaurant for my mom's birthday last Friday. I visited this restaurant once before
which I posted here:
http://www.luuux.com/food/my-lunch-today-olive-tree-restaurant?blog_id=1...
But this is the first time trying their buffet style lunch. It is a small, cute restaurant in the heart of the city and I quite like it.
It cost $175.00TT($29.10 USD) per person and they did not charge for my 6 year old niece. You had to pay for drinks separately, but the bill wasn't bad in the end.
I posted up pics of my food since everyone was already eating by the time I got my camera out lol. My mom and brother ate the chicken,crab meat,lamb,shrimp etc
but I only eat shrimp (Only when I go to restaurants because I am the worst vegetarian in the world and actually don't like veggies and I'm allergic to soya/tofu).
First course:
I wanted to try a little of everything to see what was tasting good. I got pasta,herb potatoes,Shrimp in tomato sauce,mixed lettuce salad
and a fruit salad consisting of apples and strawberries in some kind of sauce.
There was soup for appetizer and other food but I generally stick to the same foods...I am not adventurous when it comes to food.
Second Course:
Everything tasted delicious so I got the same stuff plus the mixed veggie rice,cucumber salad and a different type of fruit salad in a
creamy sauce for second course. I struggled for this course because I am not used to eating so much food!
Dessert round 1:
I picked up a little of everything to try. There was a dried fruit section, that carried the healthy treats like dried cranberries,dates,almonds,
etc.
I chose: red velvet cake, carrot cake, trifle,chocolate cake, chocolate filling cake,almonds and dried cranberries.My fave cake was the chocolate cake lol.
Dessert Round 2:
Since the chocolate cake was my fave I just chose that for second rounds and dried fruits and dates.
Mom's Dessert plate:
Mom is a fan of cheesecake so she chose that. I hate cheesecake so I skipped it lol. She got chocolate filling cake,chocolate cake,carrot cake,dried fruit and almonds.
There was a lot more options to choose from but this is the stuff I chose and I enjoyed them.
I just wish I was a bigger eater so I could truly benefit from all you can eat buffets!
The food is so tasty here that I want to go back soon! They have a different theme everyday, so next time I want to go for Mexican :)
Hope you like my post!
Do you like Buffet style meals?
Or are you a small eater like me?
