JOGOYA yum.

ah, today was definitely fun. meeting someone you havent met in a long long time, ahh.
especially if that dude is someone so crazy and dumb =) just like me.
sorreh no pictures, sometimes its just more fun hanging with friends than with a camera.

but here i present to you PICTURES from yesterday's dinner buffet at jogoya.

to commemorate or so call celebrate my sister's 19th year of living on the face of this earth, it is sorta a family tradition, a new one actually, to go out and eat scrumptious food.
no, scrumptious isn't the word, it's more of expensive and luxurious to the mouth and the wallet.
sometimes, i don't believe in spending money on overrated food. if the simple pleasures of life like a roti planta for 80 sens can satisfy our hunger (healthy or unhealthy) i think it is sufficient in doing the job - to fill our stomachs.

however, certain events in life are important and should be memorable.
thus comes those "glamour" days where we get to go on a cash blurting spree.

this time my sister chose the place - JOGOYA. you know the one at starhill gallery?
haaa yes. the expensive penuh glamour one.


family shot at the garden. darnit, i forgot camera was on manual focus. woooops.

and let's just say its my first time there.

at first i thought it was just a small little corner of fresh seafood and japanese cuisine, before i went deeper and deeper into the huge restaurant and actually got lost in a food maze.

look left, cheese escargots, look right, desserts, look straight, oh shit more food?
my gosh, i was like a little small girl lost in my own world of nothing but FOOD.

like all first timers, its just grab this, grab that, fill the plate, take as much as you can and who cares if you can't finish it.
i got the ball rolling with the shark's fin and the fresh rock oysters. heck, i've never seen huger rock oysters before.
i wouldn't say they were all fresh out of the water, there were some in the bunch which looked rather ewwwy and food poisoning-ish but use your five senses and you will get through the day without befriending your toilet bowl.


clockwise: cheese and biscuits, seafood steamboat, aglio olio pasta, variety of desserts, fresh rock oysters

like all things in starhill, the enviroment was classy. dark ambient lights with a few spotlights here and there. apart from the crowd walking around with plates loaded, i'd say its quite a good place to dine at.
oh one thing, our table was quite far from the food maze meaning less crowd but more walking to do.

as time passes by, we pick up more and more food such as the steamboat, some western cuisine and even ordered some pasta with our clippies.
the clippies were metal clips with our table's number imprinted on it. it is used to order food that would be sent straight to our tables by leaving those metal clippies with the chef.
cool idea. but waitaminute, whats this VIP only durian mousse cake doing on my table out of nowhere. waiters were sending wrong food to the wrong table and it happened twice during our meal. gahh, i forgive you anyway, thanks for sending food.


mamsies and papsies

the VIP only food were rather distracting. they really make you wanna have the VIP card.
those VIP food look better than the rest, but id call it a good marketing strategy.
vip cards cost over a thousand ringgit, like who the heck wants it.

like all buffets, desserts ahhhhh heavenly desserts.
haagen dazs ice-cream, pannacotta, tiramisu, waffles, mochis, fruits, cakes, kuih-muih, caramel thingyy.
darn, now i regretted eating so much earlier on.


a cuppa red wine =)

after a whole lot of stuffing our stomachs, it was time for some camwhoring.
but with my sister around and all dressed up, a little camwhoring instantaneously turns into one heck of a camwhoring session.
mannnnn, i think the people at the neighbouring tables were giggling at us. teeheeee.


family group shot =D

however, all good things have to come to an end.
it was time to leave.
would i ever come back again? yeah sure, like once in 5 years.
unless, they do some eye popping discount impossible to resist =)


uber cool disco balls hanging around starhill

camwhore pictures tomorrow ladies and gentlemen. for now, goodnite and have a nice day.



peace out, ladies and gentlemen
