Such an expensive local fare!

Yesterday I went to Straits Kitchen at Hyatt for buffet dinner sponsored by my department heads. It's a local food buffet with all the Malay, Chinese and Indian variety. The food was really quite nice. Especially I like the Malay curry prawn. Very succulent. And I love the carrot cake there too. Really had a very very unique taste. Anyway, having quite a hard time after eating all those. I am not the guy who can actually eat spicy malay food and I have quite a funny feeling inside the stomach after the dinner. Anyway, it's really a good experience to actually try out all the local variety at one place. Quite satisfying. But ... I find it quite expensive!! $52++ for local food? And no free flow drinks included!!
