Boston Lobster Feast Orlando, Florida USA

I couldn't stop craving for lobsters. Not just one but LOBSTERS.
I miss this!

This was our only photo. Couldnt be bothered taking photos -- I was busy attacking the feast!

These lobsters - oh! so sweet and fat, full of roe. Finger lookin good! 

Lobsters are cooked just steamed. But hey, they have this devilish butter sauce and some sour vinaigrette, selection of salads to complement the dish.

I finished 3 and my husband finished 5, together with some snow alaskan crablegs, about a dozen oysters (all u can eat!), shrimps, crawfish, scallops, mussells,sushi, steaks and lots and lots of desserts.

 

I am such a glutton. I went very dizzy after the feast - think I have gained 3 kilos after devouring all of these. I ate like there's no tomorrow! hahaha.

Imagine, the buffet was for $35.00 and my Aunt got a $5 coupon :-) so we only paid $30.00 per person. Kids have the option not to partake in the buffet and was offered kids meal which was $4.00 (mac and cheese with icecream and drink).

Thank heavens they are not here in Australia. Have they been here, we could be giants soon!

Mother's Crepe

Mother's Crepe, a Japanese crepe place has just opened in Westfield Parramatta last Thursday. 

Since it was their grand opening, they offered buy one take one for some of their crepes. And woow! 

a lot of people lined up (including us!), curiously wanting to have some bite of their delicious offerings. 

Whats unique is that they serve their crepe shaped like a cone.

They have variety of crepes to choose from. Both from savoury and sweet fillings. 

We of course have chosen the sweet ones. We ordered strawberry, banana, whipped cream, with yummy fluffy japanese cheesecake and chocolate ice cream on top.
It was glorious! 

Compared to other crepe places, theirs are really good. Price is reasonable $6 - I will be willing to pay more considering I couldn't get that yumminess anywhere else.

Don't eat it as a dessert. It can make you really full. You can have it as light lunch or snack.

The downfall? Service was rather disappointing. We had to wait for more than 30 minutes to get all our orders. The busy store only had 2 crepe makers! I counted that they have about 8 staff. Imagine yourself seeing later customers get their orders earlier than you. We were no.80 and we can loudly hear they have served no.98 already! We also had to repeat our orders 4x and clarify what was in our receipt more than 4x to some of their staff. I think the main problem was that most of their staff do not really speak and understand english and that they are not really familiar with their recipes yet. :-(

It was sad. They have a really great marketing concept, good product, yummy offerings but I just think they are not really prepared to open the store yet. Inadequate staff training and poor customer service are the things they would really have to work on. 

I fully understand they are on the baby stage of their operations so for now, I will only go back if I have a lot of spare time on my plate. Or, I will wait for some months hoping that when I go back, staff were already trained and service will be better.
