Just before I left for the buffet at Haven's Delight, I took my weight. It read 60.2 kg. My weight has been see-sawing since my feasting indulgence caught on me from a record low of 59.3 kg on 09/03/12!
The buffet served here is similar to how it is served at Tao, the Japanese restaurant. Food is freshly prepared and served as per requested orders.
I specifically asked the waiter about the serving size and was told that the portion is small.
I tested a few dishes - the daily steamed fish, spicy orange chicken and agedashi tofu. Hmmm....yummy.. Indeed small serving sizes-6 bite sized fish fillet, several bite sized chicken and 2 bite sized tofu.. ideal for two, myself and Leslie!As I noticed the crowd building up gradually, I hastily scribbled close to ten dishes that I was keen to savour.
Then, the interesting moment! Every dish that followed fed at least 4 persons! Imagine my orders?!!
Before I was able to put a halt, the dishes were all laid before my eyes!! Gosh! Those were too much to stomach!!
"Hey you...." I called out to the service boy I spoke to earlier. "Surely these feed more than 4 persons?"
"Sorry, ma'am, I forgot to inform you that certain serving sizes are larger than the other...."
"Whatever, take these back!" I gestured towards the four huge rolls! "Don't you exercise discretion?"
A young couple besides our table, grinned at me. They too, were taken aback by the serving portions! And I had thought they must have a penchant for Japanese food when I saw their table, heavily laden with gigantic sized rolls!
By the time I vacuumed cleaned the dishes, the thought of tickling my throat to throw out the food into the toilet bowl flashed through!
The young couple however stalked off with all the leftover on the table!
