back to basic

i haven't had buffet for quite a long time, especially lunch buffet, simply have passed that stage of desire for such a wide variety of food, but since my friend j wanted to visit ritz carlton's chater lounge before it is torn down, i gladly went along.

there weren't tonnes of food, but it had all the necessary -- salad, cold cuts, and my favourite "siu mai". i particularly enjoyed the main which was broiled prime rib and lamb rack, meat was fresh and juicy, served with gravy and english mustard, simply back to basics. if not for the fact that i have gained so much weight in the past few weeks, i would have gone back for a second round (or even a third round, haha). deserts looked very attractive as well, but for the same reason, i had to skip...sigh...

when a restaurant can deliver good quality food, it doesn't have to serve innovative dishes, just the basics would already win their customers' loyalty. too bad, there isn't much time left before this ritz carlton becomes history.

we don't have a baby in the house anymore.... but a "toddler"... throwing food from the high chair, toddling around bumping into things, throwing tantrums, fussing at the changing table, climbing onto mommy's legs like a koala on a tree, dipping fingers into the toilet bowl.. .the fun never ends!
