Merdeka Eve’s food fest @ Restoran TaLiPon
Posted by Buu on August 31, 2006
Happy Birthday Malaysia! For those who do not know the 31st of August is Malaysia’s Independence day. Me and the kokkers gang went out for dinner on the eve to a steamboat and BBQ buffet serving restaurant called Restoran Talipon. It is a franchise and I have so far seen one in Cheras, Kelana Jaya and the one that we went to, Air Panas , Setapak.
This place is a haven for those who would like to engorge themselves with assortments of food. It ranges from marinated meat (chicken, beef , pork and fish) , to seafood (crabs, squid, prawns, cockles etc) to noodles to vegetables. If its noodles you are looking for, do boil them as the last thing you eat because by then the chicken stock would have been mixed with the essence of everything you have boiled in there previously.
The foods are stocked up in freezers next to the cashier’s counter. Here are the precooked er…. balls section. Here we have crabsticks, fish balls, sotong balls and baby corns,
,marinated meat for the bbq!
, next is the noodles counter which choices of yellow noodles, vermicelli and kuey teow. where you can even take eggs to fry on the bbq plate. To the right of the picture below the egg tray, you can see small trays of butter which initially i thought was some kind of cake.
After picking the food, it is then time to sacrifice it all into the mighty pot for cooking!
After eating all of that , there were also deserts consisting of fruits, cakes and ice cream
Too bad there were not many choices for ice cream. It was either vanilla or chocolate which can be piled on ice cream cones.
For the price of RM 19, this makes the buffet cheap. I found the food to be so-so therefore I give it a 2 thumbs up. I overloaded myself with bbqed meats which left a salty aftertaste in my mouth. For the environment though because I was with a large group of friends, I give it a 2 thumbs and 2 big toes up.
Here is a photo of the group. Starting from the leftside to the right we have Gan, Charlene, Kenneth,Gabriel, Elizabeth which is to the left of Puspa, Belinda, Lim which is hidden behind Chua’s head.
