B4 Latin American Buffet @ Qba Latin Bar & Grill, Westin KL

Latin American Cuisine may not be new for you. But, how about a Latin American Cuisine in Buffet Style???


B4 - the abbreviation for Beer + BBQ + Banda + Bandido!!!




Qba Latin Bar & Grill at Westin Hotel, KL is a place where you can get the idea of B4. And yes, you will get to enjoy the great Latin American food & BBQ prepared freshly on spot upon orders, free floes of beer + cocktails + wine + tequila and great music. Yes you hear me, Free Flow of alcoholic beverages!!!

Thanks to Ming and Yoke May from the Westin Group. The Makan Kaki-s and I were brought to Qba Courtyard to indulge the Latin American cuisine and explore the idea of B4.




We were wow-ed by the grand looking ambiance as we were heading down to the courtyard.

Munakata Unlimited Ala Carte Japanese Buffet @ Jalan Sultan Ismail

The bunch of us who love to eat, were tempted after reading Vkeong’s post on Munakata Unlimited Ala Carte Japanese Buffet. We decided a visit and made reservation. Glad that they placed us into a small cozy private room where we could relax and chit chat and laugh out loud inside. :P

Munakata Japanese buffet is the authentic Japanese food, which means they serve purely Japanese food on their buffet menu. The buffet is priced at RM 60 + 10% service charge for adult and Rm 45 + 10% service charge for children.


The steal

Salsom Sashimi – the one and only sashimi from the buffet menu. The sashimi was thick and fresh. This is definitely a great steal! And we had 27 servings (1 serving = 3 pieces) of sashimi alone. Yummm…


The yummy

Unagi Kabayaki – juicy fat grilled Unagi in their special sweet saya sauce

Gyu Saikoro Steak was tender and juicy. I can only drool over this

Sake Teriyaki – grilled salmon coated with sweet soya sauce

Kaki Furai – deep fried juicy Oysters.

Yakitori – barbecued skewered chicken

Enoki no Butter Yaki – the Enoki sautéed with butter = aromatic

Shira Ebi Karaage – deep fried Japanese Glass Shrimp. Gimme a glass of beer!~

Tori Tsukune Yaki – chicken meatballs

Soft Shell Crab tempura – deep fried battered soft shell crab

Hotate Butter Yaki – grilled fresh scallops with butter but they were over salty



The So-So

Umagi Tamago is the grilled eel wrapped in cooked egg. This is ok for me as I like sweetened tamago.

Tempura Moriawase – the batter was tooooooo thick and very oily. Batter was not that good but the prawns and veges were fresh

Nigiri Sushi (Salmon). The vinegar-ed rice was dry and not vinegar-ed enough but I love the salmon slices alone.

Furai Ika Ring – deep fried Squid Rings. The batter was thick and the squid rings were too chewy and rubbery.

Wakame Salad. This was okay for me but lack of dressing

Edamame

Shishamo – Grilled Smelt Fish


The No-No…

Saba Shioyaki (grilled mackerel with salt) was made hard and dry. Age Shu Mai did not taste good too. As for the Ankake Age Dofu (deep fried bean curd with thick starchy sauce), it was unlike the age dofu we used to have from Rakuzen. Tori No Karagee (deep fried chicken) did not taste good. Finally, the desserts – matcha ice cream with Azuki red bean. @@ I nearly fainted after having a scoop. I have never tasted such a bad and as creamy as whipping cream matcha ice cream before. Thanks to citygal for help to finish that scoop of ice cream and washed down with lots of green tea.

Verdict: it is still a steal to have unlimited orders of fresh thick salmon sashimi with RM 60 ++. :)

Inside yaki yaki Japanese BBQ Buffet Restaurant




Food wise, let’s have a look on what they served.

Tempura

Due to the pre prepared, they are all cold.
The batter for tempura-ed prawn is thick. All of these are not to my liking. but still have to finish up after taking em.







A variety of sauces for the BBQ-ed food

Besides those raw materials from the serving counter, you can also order others like: beef belly, lamb belly, scallops, unagi… from the menu. It is quite caring that they put up the required grilling time for each of them. But… never really depends on it. It is just the suggestion timing for the food to be cooked. You have to depend on the availability of charcoal and fire/flame as well.

Others from the serving bars/counters

















Among all, the flavourful spaghetti and the chawan mushi are the best for that night.




Desserts: gelatomio.







I wondered if the freezer is working right.
On the left, the ice creams are very soft and moist. On the right, the ice creams are super hard for a single scoop.


Yaki-Yaki is mainly focused on the BBQ, that’s why they named as BBQ Buffet Restaurant. Be aware of the BBQ smell once u have finished your meal and stepped you feet out of this place.

Namely for Japanese BBQ, I don’t feel any Japanese-style in this place (besides the decoration, maybe). Most of their dishes are made to suit local people. The range is limited and I don’t quite like the raw material they served. The materials are not really fresh. Moreover the sizes for the material are small. My dad kept complaining that the oysters are very very small in size as compared to Jogoya or Tenji. What’s more I could say?! There is nothing to shout out about and there still lenity of rooooooomssss for improvement!
