Mother's Day, Seafood experiance & Rotana Zest Buffet



Yesterday night I cancelled all my "beginning of the vacation" schedule and felt like its time to give my mommy something special !

Thanks to one of my closest friends who recommended Rotana hotel's Buffet "Zest". I went there earlier that day to reserve a table and planned the surprise so well. Of course convincing my mom to go out on Thursday night without knowing why and where to was the hardest but I managed to surprise her enough to leave her smiling the whole evening :)

so

Happy Mothers Day :) xoxo


Now to the food review :

The buffet was well arranged and had variety of options including seafood (something I never dared to try or like!) so I said why not try few dishes as a start especially when you pay a lot on fancy places like Zest!? Also, a person who wants to visit east Asia soon should at least try to love that sort of food in order to get along well there.

so my first pick was the Japanese sushi !!! to be honest I've always wanted to try sushi not for the filling but for the seaweed wrap ! so I picked the one that had only veg fillings like those :

and unfortunately my first sushi had a tiny unseen piece of strong tasted fish that made me sick and seaweed wasn't good after all !! :/ will I try it again ? maybe but not soon !

My second challenging dish was the smoked salmon, I've never had salmon before ! its funny I know! but I've always hate all sorts of fish except canned tuna (by americana lol ) and I remember seeing my uncle enjoy each and every bite of it and describing it as the most delicious dish ever!

and guess what ?


It was delicious !!! the common untrusted phrase of " it tastes like chicken" actually appeared in my mind n I said: " well mom you know what ? it doesn't taste like chicken but it does taste like TURKEY with the smell of smoke !!" lol

my experience in line : Seafood isn't that bad after all but it depends on the cooking style and the ingredients mixed however, I can't live on only seafood during my stay in Korea its almost like being vegetarian !! D:

after dinner we moved to the desert table ~! I love the decor and their date cake !

Arabian style with the coffee pot ( Dalah ) and the other different types of sweets :3

And by that our sweet evening ended and I received a sweeter gift .. a good prayers from mom :)

Be kind to your mother and treat her as a queen whenever you can. Life is nothing without this incredible lady !

  1. Happy mother day to ur mom!
    To me, seeing seafood table is like telling me "no dinner for u !". am impressed that u really like something, but giving that u actually like turkey"which i don't" make me understand why u were able to love it. Regarding sushi, I have tried the veges one b4 " I couldn't complete that bite" it was tasteless, the rice has no taste at all putting aside the seaweed taste

    its good that u change ur mind about the seafood a little, I hope i can have good experience with seafood one day !
