| Early Morning View At Genting |
Genting is no stranger to local and foreign tourist alike, most popular for its outdoor theme park and casino. Coming soon in 2016 is the opening of Fox Studios as well as a Premium Shopping Outlet. I frequent to Genting quite often but not really for the above mentioned purpose. To me, it is just a quick getaway place away from home where I spent most of my time at Coffee Bean Iocated at Resorts Hotel to work or to do some research. Located 6000 ft above sea level, I would like to think of if as a place that gives me fresh inspiration while I work. Which better place to work than above the clouds right?
If you fancy buffet and don't like idea of paying a high price for it then a good place to go is Coffee Terrace Restaurant located in Genting Grand Hotel. Buffet lunch is priced at only RM42/pax including tax which is really of great value. Buffet dinner is pricier at circa RM80/pax but if you have the Genting Rewards membership you will get to enjoy a 20% discount. Again great value!
Interior design is pretty nice being able to deliver a comfortable and cosy feel to it. The buffet restaurant is quite big and comes with a nice buffet spread but don't put your expectations too high though... With the price that I paid, I felt it is quite all right to exclude some of the pricier items like fresh oysters and some other seafood items. The buffet spread consist of several sections serving local, chinese, international/western, and japanese cuisines (dinner only). There is also a dessert bar and coffeee / tea section.
To me the tastiest food is definitely the Hainanese Chicken Rice along with the various sauces that goes well with it. The Chicken was cooked quite well which is just nice ie not too dry and remained succulent. The bean sprout is long and fat just like the ones popularly found in Ipoh. I usually have 2 servings of the Hainanese chicken rice and by the time I finished I have limited room left for other types of food.
2nd must try item is the cendol which is made to order by a staff. The taste? Let's just say its almost perfect like the authentic ones you get from hawker stalls. Must try to find out. So what is the difference between buffet lunch and buffet dinner? For buffet dinner, you will find one additional japanese sushi section and at the chinese food section you can place orders for your favorite fresh vegetables and ingredients and the cook will stir fry it for you.
