Macau Escapades - The Grand buffet @ Grand Lisboa

This is the longest buffet in Asia at 70 metres and cost about MOP 258 per person (approximately SGD 41 per person).
There are two sessions for dinner buffet, one at 6pm and the other at 8.30pm.
The buffet includes one cup of coffee, tea or iced lemon tea.

One thing about this buffet - you really have to walk till the very end as you may miss out a buffet section if you don't. For example, I was wondering where do people get ice cream and candy floss and when I walk till the end, I realise that there are buffet sections that I have missed from both ends of the buffet line. Scary~


Continuous line of people

The salmon sashimi was very thickly cut.
Also, the BBQ prawns was yummy. 

Boiled prawns
Roast meat was thick and juicy.
Sirloin was nice, meaty and tender. 

My favourite is the mussels and its sauce

Rib eye, ham, satay and oysters (clockwise)

This is the highlight of them all - I have never been to a buffet spread so far that serve abalone (in its shell). This is the counter with the continuously long queues. 

A variety of desserts - as this is one day after the Mid Autumn Festival, traditional mooncakes were served. It is very good - yolk was oily and the lotus paste was good. The desserts served was interesting, such as almond pudding from sesame paste (the one with a black topping at the top) or yam (the one with purple topping at the top), orange pudding (the one in orange) etc. 

Crepes (I am not very good at decorating)

There are waiter who will serve you the cake.
This is good as you will have proper cake slices.

My Ramblings...
Food is good but ambience as not.
The place is literally a war zone.
Queues formed outside the restaurant about 10 to 15 min before the buffet starts.

With the ultra long buffet lines, it does create some stress here and there.
