Buffets are sinful pleasures. Especially seafood buffets. No one escapes from that guilt feeling of popping prawn after squid after oyster into their mouths, all the while thinking 'this is my last piece, tomorrow i'll start dieting' or 'nevermind, tomorrow i will hit the gym'.

I blame those restauranteurs for creating such gastronomic dilemmas for us. I especially blame the banks for coming up with those hard-to-miss dining promotions by using their credit cards.

Just like the latest Citibank's 'Buy 1, get 1 free' promo at Eccucino (Prince Hotel & Residence, KL).

With a price of only RM 51 nett for a 1 pax buffet (NP : RM 88++), i took a gamble to bring a particular someone here for his birthday. After all, a simple dinner at say TGiF's or Victoria would have come up to around that price. Hence, i went for variety instead.

 Eccucino holds a themed buffet daily, as in 'Malaysian Delights' for Mondays, 'Seafood' for every Wednesday, 'Italiano' for Fridays and 'International' for any other day. Ideally we chose the 'Seafood' of course.

  The place was barely occupied with only a handful of foreigners having a quiet dinner by themselves. But don't let the emptiness of this place fool you.

 I found the food worth my RM 50 bucks. hehe. They may not serve over 100 variety of dishes but even if they do, you wouldn't manage to try each and every one of them. They've got the key items in a seafood buffet though - the oysters, the salmon and the lobster. Nice.

 Dun these jewels come at RM 5 per piece? Five of these, and i would have covered my buffet cost.

 Three professionally prepared prawn tempura that tasted like heaven!

 My first time ordering an ice cream waffle in a hotel buffet. Who could resist not having a piece of this?!

 We went for the kill immediately!

 Me...i was in total bliss as long as i got to play by the chocolate fountain with an endless supply of sweet succulent strawberries!

I highly recommend all Citibank Cardmembers to take opportunity of this buffet dinner promotion. You've got till 31st Dec this year to make that reservation through 03-2170 8888 ext 8119.

Dun say i didn't share ...  ^-^
