Bazaar, Binging and Brownie Smores

Hello Everyone,

I realised I haven't told you all about the gift I got for Valentines day from Geek Boy.

He gave me dinner for two at Bazaar at QT, one of my favourite hotels. I love it here. They have this enormous gourmet, interactive buffet that is to die for. There are Asian, roasts, seafood, salads, side dishes and pizzas galore. And the best part? if say you want your meat cooked to a certain way or don't like the pizzas on offer you can choose how you want them done and they will bring it to your table. All apart of the rather high fee. (It's about 72.00 for the full buffet, includes all food except drinks)

And we gorged. You do not come here on a diet. You prepare to role home. Which we did after three plates of dinner each then a plate of dessert.

This was the first course:

Paella with chorizo, slow cooked beef and some form of Asian beef/rice and potato. The Paella was to die for, so yummy.

Second course, more paella, a baguette and black bean beef. With a little sliced salami. So good, it was all so good. But I wont lie, I was starting to feel a little full by the time I got to this point.

 Finally, the best course. There is a make your own sundae bar, I got vanilla ice cream, oreos, nutela and popcorn. Then I got doughnuts with chocolate ganache and sprinkles, macaroons (pineapple, strawberry and thyme), Oreo rocky road, salted caramel and popcorn tarts and the little things in the jars are brownie, melted chocolate and melted marshmallow i.e. mini smores. They are the best. Geek Boy had four. I managed two plus a few bites of everything before giving up. But seriously, they are all goo and melty and they have the brownie in them. It's just , I can't describe it. Go and try it. Or make one. I think I will and I will post how to when i manage a decent one.

This is the drink I got. It's called a Byron Bay, with vodka, citrus, passion-fruit, lime and soda. Perfect. 

It was an awesome meal but by the end we were feeling a little ill, but that is solely due to it being very well done food that you can have as much as you want. 

Bazaar it's self is best described as kind of vintage fresh, the space is really nice, mood lighting but I felt a little hot. There is not a lot of air con going on. But that is the only bad thing I can say about it. And it can get slightly uncomfortable, but nothing to prevent ou going. The staff go beyond and are always smiling (except for the girl at the sundae bar, and she only gave me one scoop of ice cream. so rude!). They bring things out before you ask.  

This is my favourite place to go, not just food wise but hotel wise as well (their breakfast buffet is even better in my opinion). I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it. It is a little exxy at 72.00 per person but so worth it. Best place to splurge as you definitely get your moneys worth. You get to watch the chefs make food while you are choosing yours. So you know its freshly cooked. 

Geek Boy and I love it, and he confessed that one of the reason he was taking me there as my gift was because he got to have it too. Can't fault him for it, we've been looking for an excuse to go again for ages. 

We even starved ourselves all day so we could enjoy as much as possible. Which totally paid off as we tasted everything (or at least almost).

So has anyone else been there? Would love to know. 

Talk to you later,
