Visited on 19/4 for the lunch buffet. As always, food in the Makan Kitchen is spread out over a wide area, so it's good to do a walkabout. We were a motley crowd sampling assorted food, Indian, Malay and Chinese with some Japanese thrown in. I had made reservations and we were greeted and seated, promptly enough. The service was typically Malaysian, reticent staff who were polite and friendly when required. I enjoyed the Malay cuisine and the desserts, can't speak for the others at the table who had piled their plate high with a variety of food. However, when asked, I was politely told that everything was good. The freshness of the food offered was not the best, and despite the wide spread, none of the dishes was particularly worth remembering. At 2pm, the waitress politely told us that it was "last call" for the buffet! Last call for a buffet?? Soon, dishes were covered and plates taken away, leaving guests with no option but to use their used plates. We left at 230pm after sorting out a mix-up with the bill (we were charged for an extra person). Total bill for 12 diners was approximately RM800. My take? A good place to dine with staff or business associates, for the decor and presentation. Personally, although we had an enjoyable time, I would not return for the food.
