Every so often, I want to eat until I can't eat no more. And that is when it's time for a buffet! This time boyfriend and I chose the Rosedale Hotel Kowloon in Tai Kok Tsui. Openrice had a voucher for this place that costs $288 for adults (orignally $368 on weekdays). WHAT A DEAL! Always up for deals, this is what we used. But if you can't do weekdays and only a weekend person, it's only $398 for adults. Actually, now that I look at their website, I notice they have a lot of deals for their buf
But where was it located?
For those not clear with the Tai Kok Tsui area, you can take the MTR from Olympian Station and walk 8 minutes there. Or just look at their hotel website which gives a pretty good map. It wasn't too hard to find. The hotel, itself, is really new and tasteful. I was fairly surprised. I didn't expect a hotel in this area to look so modern. It was bright with huge windows. Small additions of modern Asian art.
The restaurant is located on the second floor and is fairly spacious. Like many hotel buffets, seating is one side and buffet section is on the other. We gotten there at early but it started to fill up quickly.
A few pics of the buffet area.They had a really good selection of seafood. Had a bunch of crab leg. Those were excellent.
This was a huge bread bowl with curry. Tasted a bit of this and was fairly good.
They had a this roast suckling pig on a bed of rice. Apparently, the monthly theme was Europe Fiesta so this was a Portuguese roast suckling pig. The skin of the pig was crispy. The meat was rich but not too salty. The rice was fragrant enough.
Everything was labelled in English and Chinese. I noted staff refilled the food constantly. They also cleared plates as soon as it was empty.They had this one station that offered Raclette cheese. They heat up this half a wheel of Raclette and plop it onto their selection of bread, potatoes or pasta. They also have pickles to serve with it. I had not seen this at a hotel before so this was fun to try. The cheese was incredibly strong so if you don't like cheese, you may want to stay away. But if you love strong cheese, this is for you. I suggest the potatoes the best. The bread and pasta didn't really soak up the cheese very well.
They have oysters. These are freshly shucked for you upon request and placed on ice to keep it cool. It's a nice small touch. The oysters were fresh and crisp. These are not of the creamy variety.
A few items I ate. I want to note the eggplant was really excellent. I also had the bacalau and that was pretty good, too.
Sushi was fresh and quite a huge selection. And you can ask for sashimi.
And though I was full til I couldn't move, I had to have dessert. They had so many little cakes and puddings. But I chose a few cakes (and ate some of boyfriend's selections). The cakes were actually quite good. Not dry cake at all. The Portuguese tart was a bit too oily but the custard was fine. They had an apple streudal that was really good as they used a generous amount of cinnamon and nutmeg to flavor the apple and there was some bits of raisins as well.
For a buffet under $400, I was pleasantly surprised that there was such a good selection of food. And everything tasted quite good, too. There are other hotels buffets that cost a whole lot more and don't have this type of variety and quality. Along with the Openrice discount, it was even more value for money. For a hotel that isn't in the more popular areas of Hong Kong, the buffet was very busy on a weekday evening. I guess people do know where to go for a value for money buffet. Would be back and recommend to friends as well.
