Dinner buffet at Shangri-la + prequel

The day began unproductively at 7:30 and that lasted till around 11:30 when I left for uni. Following the one hour of lecture, caught L94 to the city. Made around 2 trips to david jones, 4 trips to myer and a trip to bing lee in search of a footspa for mum. Just when I was about to make the purchase, I realised the box that I had was different to the display. And when I asked if there were any of the one on display left, they said it was all sold out. What a bummer - all that 2+ hours searching, calling and deciding amounted to nothing! At least I had MTF to keep my company for half an hour!

Next came flower searching. Spent a long time deciding which bunch to get at Roses Only! Luckily I charged my phone this morning otherwise it would definitely have run out of battery and credit...

Waited at the restaurant for over an hour by myself whilst for the rest of the party made an accidental detour to north sydney and back. Must say, the food was VERY filling. They had exceptional service - I think that was the best thing out of the entire dinner. The seafood was fresh - lobsters, oysters, prawns, crabs...with a variety of other food - italian, asian and indian. The hot food I guess was average. Dessert was good - not quite 'spectacular' - oh did I mention the chocolate fountain?? - but my favourite was passionfruit gelato! Overall, a nice place - not too crowded...probably one of the better ones that I've been to :p - ratings: service 9/10, seafood 8.5/10, hot food 6.5/10, dessert 7/10, ambience 8.5/10 (cause we got a window seat - even though it was dark outside, it still 'felt' good!!) OVERALL RATING: 7.9/10

That's all folks for now!
