Dinner Buffet @ Tao Cuisine

Went to Tao in Kota Damansara with some colleagues on last week. We made reservation at 7pm. Traffic in Kota Damansara is hell!

Located at Kota Damansara of Selangor Darul Ehsan in Malaysia, Tao is situated on the second floor in a new shopping mall called Sunway Giza. It offers Eat All U Can Ala carte Buffet dinner and lunch.

Tao 道 Authentic Asian Cuisine's main entrance

Promotion... For those birthday is on May, you will get 50% off for dine in.

Taken to a table, we were required to put off our shoes before we take our seats. The dining area is very similar like a Japanese style. The waiter provides the menus of just four pages (hardbound) of more than 100 over dishes to choose from. From what I was told, the waiter will serve the food you selected and they will cook for you and when you are done, you can select again or another dish - basically this is like a buffet style with a service. That is not the end of it...

The menu. Many pictures to choose if you're not sure what is written on it. :P

After the main lobby/reception there is where a place you can choose/pick-up some food to eat. Like any other buffet style, there are some foods where you pick and ask the chef to cook for you. All you need is to bring along the clip that was provided to you, choose the food that you want them to cook and clip the dish. Once they done cooking a waiter will send the dish to you, Teppanyaki style. Besides that, of course there are some sushi selection meals to choose, some salad and dessert selections.

Black Pepper Udon.. Yummy!

Preparing us sake

Keep the sake in hot water before served


Eight of us.. Not even one can run away. Included myself.. Haha!!

Lamb Teriyaki. Unfortunately I don’t eat lamb. The pieces of lamb were huge and I was told by colleagues it was so tender and juicy! Recommended!


Shisamo Tosa. It is kind of fish eggs fried and wrapped with sesame. I am not sure how is the taste, as i didn't eat it. Haha..

.... But my colleague said nice

This is very nice! Super crispy! The skin is similar like fried wanton skin. Inside is tuna paste.

Fukahire Chawan Mushi. Looks ordinary but tastes really good! There's the broth inside and it's also filled with shark's fin! (I think it should be the fake shark's fin but who care!)

Unagi Mushi Tofu. So-so la..

Sushi

Drinks are all refillable and the girl was nice enough to rattle every single drink on the menu for us. I think there was Iced Lemon Tea, Peach Tea, Orange, Mango, Hot and Cold Chocolate, Green Tea...

I ordered hot green tea


Tempura Moriawase. Quite common. Consists of two prawns, 1 sweet potato, 1 eggplant and 1 yam.

I really can't recall the name of this.. :( But it is super duper nice!! Highly recommended!!

The best and most gooding dish of the night, CRAB MEAT WITH CHEESE! I can't really taste any crab meat but the cheese was incredible! It was so rich and so melty...I felt so happy after eating this, haha! This is a serving for one. We ordered another two servings after that...this is really so good! Don't let the looks deceive you!

Highly recommended!! No regret but happy!! :D
