Last night, we celebrated my dad’s 70th birthday in a seafood restaurant. As my camera batteries run out, I did not take any pictures. He ordered steamed fish with spicy sauce, bake crabs, butter prawns, vegetables soup, clams, delectable fried chicken and rice for 5 persons. The meal was delicious and tantalizing with reasonable pricings. It cost about RM120 in all which was very reasonable for seafood. Except for mom, it was dad’s treat and we each gave him RM100 in angpows totalling RM300 for his birthday.

I went to Sakae Sushi for a change from Sushi King as we saw a long queue outside the restaurant. So we decided to queue up and not long later, we were shown to our table. It was full house almost everyday as we by pass the restaurant. Most of the items are cheaper than Sushi King with new innovations like you can refill the cup of green tea via the hot water tap on every table. You can also make orders through an LCD flat monitor stationed on each table with navigations to see the type of food served. It is a pity they don’t have internet, otherwise we could serve and eat simultaneously. They have installed a mouse for diners to click on each option of the screen. Here are some of the servings that’s rather different with avocado and cheese toppings.

Flower crabs and more flower crabs. This photo was taken in The Cafe buffet spread laid on the table with crushed ice on a platter with satin covered table. The shells of the flower crabs are softer than black river crabs and easier to de-shell. And they taste just as good.

Don’t the photo above look tantalizing? Here’s my selection of the buffet of chrome yellow mango pudding, sky blue local dessert (“kuih”), chocolate fondue and cakes. Since I took a bit of almost everything, I share this platter with my sister to cut down on the calories.

Here is my continuation from Part 1. The photos above are bite-size of various flavored cakes coated with cream. There are the strawberry pink cakes, pandan flavored green cakes and the normal vanilla yellow cakes with colorful rice bits. Right at the top tier, not so obvious in the photos are chocolate bon bons or similar to the praline chocolates, but they are cakes as well.

Here’s the delectable buffet consisting of mushroom cream coated steamed salmon, fried nestum prawns, fried mantis prawns in marmite sauce, some fresh vegetables and of course baked crabs. Being careful of my weight, I just had 1 plateful for the round of main dish and another round for fruits, cakes and Haagen Daz ice-cream.
