My favourites from this buffet are the lamb murtabak which is so crispy on the outside and aromatic minced lamb inside makes this little parcel a must-have. The Whole Roasted Balinese Marinated Lamb is extremely tender, hardly any chewing required and choices of sauce are rosemary, mustard, mushroom and black pepper. Goes especially well with the rosemary sauce. One helping of this lamb is not enough.

I was so thirsty when I arrived that I downed a few glasses of sirap selasih before starting on the buffet. It’s my favourite drink! So thirst-quenching and satisfying. I wish more places served this drink.

Nasi Dagang

The colour of the Nasi Dagang is so lovely. the rice tasted a bit dry on its own but was perfect with the budu sauce.

Other than local favourites, the fresh seafood was calling out to me. The mussels and prawns were my pick. I usually skip crabs as they are too time-consuming and messy.

One of the live action cooking stations situated near the pool area is the Wok Station where you get to choose any of the seafood available. I chose clams and squid to be cooked in buttermilk sauce and was impressed with the thickness and richness of the sauce. I went back for a second helping. Other sauces are black pepper and kam hiong.
