Hobbits at Carvery

I belong to a family of hobbits. We’re not that tall; some of us have somewhat hairy feet; and most of all, we love our food. Food is our centrepiece. My favourite memories are of the family – grandparents, uncles, aunts and all, seated at the table at my grandfather’s old shop. When the old ones journeyed on, food was ever present through the grieving process.

Now, in the new normal, we continue to come together in the midst of food. Kopitiam breakfasts, chicken rice lunches, dinners. Not just the immediate family, but the uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces – those who haven’t moved away, at least.

So one of the last few foodie outings we had was at Carvery, a brazilian style buffet churrascaria place with loads of meat. Fourteen different styles in fact...or was there more? I stopped counting after the cuts started to look the same. The lamb is really good, as is the steaks. The chicken and seafood are so-so only. The salad bar is nice enough to make me content. At about RM60+ per buffet for dinner (Lunch is cheaper with less variety), it’s not an every-day type meal; but good for a meat fix.
