The In Buffet & InTeam

In this tiny judgmental head of mine,I always thought that feast at hotels are always better than those at large convention halls.For instance,take wedding receptions held at convention halls as example.I can guarantee that 60% of the amount of wedding receptions that you've all been to suck when it comes to food. Maybe it's just me,hating the typical dishes served at wedding receptions but most hall caterers are just bad.That might also include the caterer at my wedding reception in February soon.But,hey,I will be the guest of honor a.k.a. bride so I get to skip the eating part coz I'll have too much butterflies in my stomach anyway.

So back to feast at convention halls,my family was invited for an iftar at Shah Alam Convention Hall during buka puasa earlier.I wished I could run to the Blue Wave Hotel just across the street coz the buffet is as good as Concorde Hotel's,but it wasn't mine to decide.The hall was packed with people lining up for food at the buffet tables as we entered the hall.I knew that my nightmare had begun coz if I were to be at a renowned hotel's buffet feast,it wouldn't be that crowded and the line at the buffet tables wouldn't be that long.

Thank God we had good company (family friends) at the assigned table,so it wasn't that bad.

Right after the Maghrib's azan was heard,most would just sit down enjoying the food they have taken pre-berbuka.So that was the perfect timing to get up and have all the buffet tables to yourselves without having to line up.To my surprise,the choices of food weren't so bad after all.

After all a bowl of bubur lambuk and a plate of lamb chops with black pepper gravy,I settled for desserts.The dessert tables were even more impressive,better than at Concorde's or Blue Wave's,I could say.While everyone else was still enjoying their 2nd or perhaps 3rd round of main course,I realized that there was gona be an entertainment on the big stage.The technical staffs went up to give a sound check and setting up some instruments.

Then they finally introduced the performer,and it was In-Team!Not that I know much about nasyid singing groups but this 1 was quite famous when I was still in TKC.And apparently,they were still pretty much alive and happening,with new albums out in stores and the same old members in their group.I still recognized the face of their lead singer coz he was known to be as 1 of our Kemahiran Hidup's teacher's son.Well,you know how an all-girls' school could be.1 hot guy came into picture,BAMM,every girl talked bout him and dreaded to know him!Not that we intended to get to know this nasyid guy,but it was fun harmlessly dreaming bout an attractive opposite sex whom we barely knew.Plus,our KH teacher was having the time of her life proudly talking bout his singing son in our classes.

Oh yeah,there he was in the middle,the guy we,us girls,used to drool on when we were younger.It all got down to memory lane when the group actually sang a song that used to be famous when we were in high school.Couldn't get myself to remember the title but it was a catchy song on advices to soon-to-be-married couples.It went something like "...bersabarlah oh sayang...blah blah blah...kita akan disatukan..."..Haha!=D But anyway,I didn't have the guts to go upfront opposite the stage to snap a picture of them.I just sat at the table and played with my zoom to get the picture.I was afraid that the singing gentlemen would notice and got the idea of actually having a not-so pious and hijab-less fan that went gaga over them =P

So,folks,if you want a good buffet with in-house entertainment (In Team),not forgetting solat terawih with a celebrity nasyid group (In Team),and affordable price of Ramadhan buffet (RM65),do get your bums to SACC in Shah Alam.You'll not regret it.

Nighty nite and Selamat Bersahur/Berpuasa! =)
