BUKA BERSAMA SWISS-BELHOTEL BATAM 2016
One reason why I love this Ramadhan fasting month is the break-fasting buffets aka ‘buka bersama’. There are increasing numbers of restaurants and hotels that provide such buffets. My first one this year was at Swissbel Hotel.
THE SETTING
The whole ambience in Swiss Cafe is perfect for me. I always love a modern contemporary vibe to a place, while portraying a rather fun side. Classy yet relaxing. The way they setup the buffet bars were efficient. I requested to sit on their wine cellar table and totally love it. It felt private!
THE FOOD
The spread is massive. They called it super buffet and rightfully so. I will just name you all their food stations so you get an idea:
– Makanan utama (Main Courses)
– Aneka gorengan (Fritters)
– Rujak
– Soup and noodle station
– Nasi ayam Hainam (Hainamese Chicken Rice)
– Nasi bakar (BBQ Rice)
– Martabak telur (Indonesian Pancake)
– Carving station
– Siomay bandung (Indonesian fish paste)
– Assorted appetizers
– Assorted desserts
– Assorted dates
– Ice Cream with condiments
– Fruits station
– Drinks station
Are these enough choices for you? Don’t worry about the quantity! They fill up the food very quick. Your money will be well-spent here! One thing I must note is their pastry. There is no doubt that in terms of hotel pastry standard in Batam, this one right here belongs at the top tier.
CONCLUSION
What is important to you when it comes to buffet? For me it is the selections. I want to see many different types of food so I could sample all. Of course, they must have certain standard of quality taste too, which they do have.
The buffet selections were massive. The displayed were nicely decorated. The whole place has 5-stars vibe to it. Love it! A satisfied experience. A full tummy. Can’t wait to try out more buffets
