When I go for buffet, I always have this dilemma: Chinese or Japanese?

Peking Duck

Peking duck?

Unagi Chawan Mushi

Or Unagi?

You see, when I go for Japanese, I think about Chinese food. But when I go dimsum, I think about Unagi.

Life is full of decisions.

When I came to know about the 2 in 1 buffet @ Nikko Hotel KL, I saw the light of solving my dilemma.

Entrance

Hello Benkay Japanese Restaurant!

When you step into Benkay, you can also order Chinese dishes such as dimsum etc from the 2 in 1 menu.

Entrance Area

Once you step into the restaurant, you can see some Japanese settings on your left.

Seafood on Iceo

I couldn’t wait to tour the food a bit. The appetizers/salad/oysters/desserts are all served outside the restaurant, plenty of space to move about.Nice!

Chinese Appetizers

Some of the chinese appetizers are served in small cute bowls for you to try out.

The beef was tender and soft, and juicy! Gosh I am starting to miss the food already.

appetizers

Appetizers: from salmon, codfish, tempura, garlic squid, oysters.

Desserts

I am a huge fan of strawberries. And of course huge strawberries! Gosh, look at the size O_o

Desserts

Dessert bar

The dessert bar has quite a decent selection of cakes, pastries to fruits.

Black Sesame Ice Cream

The 3 types of ice cream to choose from: Green tea, black sesame, and vanilla.

I am not a fan of black sesame, or anything to do with sesame. But I braved to try a little, it was smooth and creamy. Still prefer the green tea though.

Assorted desserts

A good variety of desserts.

Chef Chan Chong Yan
