My boss is going home for Christmas :( I will miss her terribly. She is one of the main reasons I come to work. Shes funny, smart and just awesome. Actually, she's the reason I work here.
So she took us out for an early Christmas lunch since she'll be gone by the time it actually comes. We went to The Oakwood hotel - 5 Senses.
She raved about the food here and we all were looking forward to this day. Sadly, the buffet was anything but great. The salads were good, a huge spread. All kinds of meats, veggies, dry-fruits, cheeses, breads etc. But the good part ended there.
Starters were average - fish tikka and veg tempura (I dont like it coz its deep fried). Main course was disappointing. They had only Indian and Chinese. The Chinese greens were good, but while I was serving myself, the heater plate below the container slipped out and I almost burnt myself. They did not even apologize.
Anyways, There was a chicken dish with some weird name and tasted horrible. I heard that the rogan josh was good, but I don't eat mutton so can't say. The dal makhani was awesome. I loved that.
The desserts were a huge let down. It looked like a big spread. They had mousse served in martini glasses, which I really like. It looks so elegant. But... the strawberry was just too sweet. The litchi was ok. The pastries were bad. The peach pie was horrible and cold. I was sad, coz I love this part of the buffet the most. The saving grace was the gulab jamun, which didn't look so good but tasted otherwise. I didnt try the phirni. Ooh.. I almost forgot the Iced tea. It was tasteless.
