today’s post is an all you can eat buffet in star city, pyrmont! the harvest buffet is perhaps one of the most well known buffets in sydney, in the high profile building that also houses the star casino. if you are under the age of 18, try to bring along your drivers as you will not be allowed to cross the casino to get to the buffet, and will have to take a specific set of stairs to get to the buffet.
lets get to the good parts.
the harvest buffet is very popular for its seafood. naturally there is a long queue at the seafood section! this was the first station i hit and i got quite a lot of seafood. there were mussels, prawns, pipis, oysters and even crabs. the seafood was very fresh, all of them were delicious – i tried everything but pipis and mussels. absolutely smashing, especially the prawns.
there were also pizzas. i didn’t try any of them, opting to instead save my stomach space for everything else. c had a few slices of pizzas but weren’t particularly impressed by the pizzas, instead commented that there was too little cheese.
on the asian bar, there were a lot of choices! the char koay teow was delicious and wonderfully oily. they also had green curry seafood and fried rice, both of which i thought were pretty standard fare. there is also a diy bao section where you can add delicious roast pork to a steamed bun, some leek and sauce. unfortunately i went a bit too far with the chilli and made it a bit too hot! the indian curries were really good. c and i both thought that the garlic naan complemented the curries really well.
for those who want healthier option, there was caesar salad. the vegetables were not cut to smaller sizes which made eating a difficult.
other food include bread, sushi and roast beef from the carvery! both were pretty standard. c was really disappointed that there was no roast pork belly, as there are food blogs mentioning how delicious it is! it may be just not our night for roast pork – i know that the food changes throughout the evening with different curries and noodles appearing one after another.
what happens after the main course? dessert, of course! the dessert is amazing! i’m not much of a dessert person, much preferring savoury food but i tried a lot of different dessert options. the pistachio macaroons were really tasty. i had perhaps six to eight of the macaroons they were that good! for those who love getting a sugar hit, dip macaroons and marshmallows in the chocolate fondue.
the other parts of the dessert was great as well. my favourites were the cheese cake, green tea cake and the self-serve ice cream.
overall, what a great dinner. absolutely delicious seafood and asian food followed by a good dessert. loved it.
