Buffet Lunch at Northam Suite

I've seen the 20% promotion for all buffets (30% for senior citizens) at Coffee house, Northam Suite, Penang for quite some time.

Since it's an occassion for my family, thus, I got my family to join the buffet.

As I enter into the coffee house, I felt that they are short-handed of staff, and the variety for a japanese buffet is just not there. Worst still, there isn't much a crowd there. They were lucky to have a table with a big group ~20 people that would at least cover up their operating cost.



Unique part was - they had avocado, crabs, smoked salmon and chawan mushi.

Their octopus is not fresh.
Same goes to the jackfruit (I think it was preserved).

The cakes - I only liked their cheese cake but the rest of it was dry and not to my likings.



















Worst part, I see the rice-bug on it's sushi. Using an octopus which is not fresh would not make a good sushi, worst still, there is not enough of vinegar taste.









Green tea ice cream - yum yum! - that was the thing that made my tummy REAL satisfied!
It's not exactly a place people would crave for, but if I run out of places to go... I think I might go due to its affordable price.

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

An Encounter with Gelatissimo

It was an eventful Saturday afternoon. I had an 'appointment' with Gelatissimo , Gurney Plaza, Penang. I have always wished to try gelatos there (since Lecka Lecka has gone for good) and it's the ONLY store serving gelatos in Penang (I think). There you go.. I'm going to blog on my 'encounter' with Gelatissimo. First and foremost, consumers need to be educated the difference between ice-cream (Haagen dazs, Baskin Robbins, Walls etc) and Gelatos. Gelatos is italian frozen ice dessert and the method of making it is different from ice cream . Basically, gelatos has less cream than ice cream and it has higher density (the molecules are nearer as compared with ice cream). Most importantly, I think the fat content is less as it has more original food as compared with ice cream (usually with articificial coloring and flavours). The friendly staff posing for camera. The girl in spectacles would always asked me if I would like to try their flavours. To be honest, I trie...
