Malaysia Best well Known Buffet??

Went to KL the past few week, always heard my m'sia frens been praised how gd and nice about jogyoya buffet, all right, i decided to give it a shot then... :P

The restaurant is located at bintang walk(where in front of Pavilion),3rd floor.i noticed 1 thing funny when i enter the restaurant,you know how they charge the kids? they measure your kids height.....haha....something new,which mean if your kid is taller then 120cm,although not even enough 12 yrs old,u gotta pay adult price for him.

the ambience of the place was nice,quite spacey,and not too bright,they had some bamboo decoration around and so "empty" aquarium at the entrance there,wonder what they feed in the tank.....

WoW.....WOW......WOW......jogyoya have so many varieties.....so many till i felt lost when i start my food tour there : )....they have sashimi,sushi,maki,handroll,teppanyaki,cook food,"tun tang"( cantonese soup",wok,grill,and i lost count.....it took me 15 mins to finish walk 1 round,then i end up with a coconut in my hand back to my table....funny? cause i don't know what to eat and i found out they supply coconut! ha,my favorite....

after i finish my coconut,i decide to make my move.i went to sashimi 1st, erm....how should i say it,sashimi cutting was not so good and make me not appetite to eat it,( i mean even kaiten sushi like sakae can have a better presentation of sashimi...)so skip the sashimi,took a few sushi and a califonia handroll( you gotta order from the chef,then he will do it for u),ok,sushi rice was too hard,perhaps they are from machine,the salmon and tuna taste not good,handroll seaweed was softgy,and they didn't put avocado in.......

next,i went to teppanyaki,order a beef,chicken,and fish.when they come,the beef was ok,so do the fish and chicken.i mean they are fine,just not outstanding.

then i went to order a grill beef T-bone,ha, this the nicest thing at jogyoya after all,besides than my coconut....although the staff grill the t-bone to a bit over burn, but the beef was still taste juicy and inside is medium well,not well done,dun get fool by the "chau Ta" look from the moment it serve(although medium would be better) i have 8 order of the T-bone grill beef at that night.(14 coconut oso,by myself :P)
and try to go for their stir fried veggie,something like japanese restaurant Yasai Itame,not bad.....i had two portion of that.

then dessert time,so may dessert around,mochi,cheese cake,small tart or pie,ice cream,u name it,u got it,more than 60-80 varieties in dessert it self....shiok? haha....but im not a dessert person,so i only take 1 scoop of the ice cream and some taiwan mochi( can tell is not japs 1),mochi was mochi,which mean ok lar......surprise me is Ice Cream is hagen daz......but,once again,im not a ice cream killer like paris hilton......

fair enough,i pay RM204 for 2 pax,it is buffet,so don't you expect a fine dining standard of food then you wouldn't get disappointed.if you are not choosy on food standard or you are not regular of japs fine dining,then jogyoya worth every single penny u pay for it......

what?for me?i seldom go for buffet anymore,not even those big hotel buffet back in s'pore........
