They tried to make me go to buffet lunch...

but I said 'yes!yes!yes!'

Screw my diet!! who can't resist cheap buffet with some friends...???? Yesterday, i had my lunch(buffet style) in Berjaya Hotel Penang in Midland on invitation by Sakina and the gang. Actually Bistro@Hardwicke House is the first plan, but with no reservation, weekend is not the time for walk-in. Damn...The place should be awesome with only RM18 and free drinks! but luckily Sakinah had Plan B! hehe. In Berjaya, The buffet cause around Rm19 after 20% discount. (which we don't know for what??). The food is OK nothing that i will remember except for the roti Arab and its chicken curry which is fresh;y made. Other stuff that worth mentioning is ABC, Dim Sum, and the dessert, lots and lots of cakes, jelly, kuih etc!! I eat quiet a lot but i can still restrain myself, don't like the felling off over eating!! Overall, the place is OK for me but because of the companion that i have...its such a fun eating time. Next one, we better SERBU the Hardwicke House guys! make them pay for not excepting us!! GGGGrrrrrrr!!!

The Original Plan..Grrrrr!!! you better watch out Mr.Hardwicke for my arrival!! hehe

Fazrin digging his way into the bottom of the plate!!! i'm already full!!

Before and after picture of Adila and Sakina...See how fast they gain extra pound in the cheek area!!??

Mark came a little bit late...just woke up and need some strong coffee to wake him up!! you go dude! but from my observation, he eat much less than others!

The "Pelahap" group: Sakina, Fazrin, Adila, Nizam, Roshaida, Zaim, Ekin, Mark.

We decided to rate it as OK! Wow...i dont know Sakina's fingernails is smoking RED!! haha!!

At hotel lobby after lunch, playing with the donation "spinning coin" box!! Lots of people in the lobby follows my step..a good deed i done there..inspiring people to donate!! haha.

Adat diturut tersusun rapi,
Merisik sudah bertunang pun sudah,
Tiba kini majlis dinanti.
