Excapade Sungkai Buffet

I remember just a few years ago… (2003 or 2004?) when the second Excapade branch (Gadong branch) just opened, I had my very first Japanese buffet. And that, was the only time Excapade launched buffet style dining, before they had the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and not the EIGHTH branch (!!!), and became the “brand name” for Japanese food in Brunei.

(Expand anymore and they’ll become the 7-11 of Brunei with the slogan, 总有一间在你左右!
meaning, confirm got one branch just next to you.

And just last weekend, I received a call from Siew Fong inviting to try out their buffet. The feeling, ecstatic!

When I walked to the buffet area, I was blown away by the settings!

What would you imagine if there’s a Japanese sungkai buffet? I don’t know for you but with my past experiences in other places, I will imagine as those… banyak yang cucumber, needle mushrooms, yang luxurious sikit, crabstick, eggs and if very lucky, got unagi small small piece WITH PLENTY OF RICE! Except for Shin Yeh in Taiwan, which costs NT750, which is around BND33.

But the one I had in Excapade… wow! Totally beyond expectation!
See for yourself.

Sashimissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
(Have you seen generous settings like this????? I cannot count the number of slices and I don’t have to rush and fight with other people just to get one piece because sure ada banyak!)
