| - My friend told me about Sterling Buffet @ Bally, but at $85 a pop I can't afford that anytime soon...so, really, Wynn is definitely a more feasible choice pricewise. We went there around 3:15pm, paid brunch prices, and ended up in there at the beginning of dinner.
I kept hitting up the cocktail shrimp and king crab to get my money's worth! The prime rib was pretty good; not as rare as I like it, but the boyfriend's end/crust piece was tasty. The chicken noodle soup was good. And WTF, whoever heard of making custom JOOK a part of your buffet?! You get the basic rice porridge, and you can add the preserved duck eggs, Chinese donuts, onions, scallions, pork sung, etc. to make it your style. To THIS Chinese person who grew up on jook, it actually was pretty good (although the ingredients were cold and not really melding into the jook itself). My only complaint about the hot food was some of the veggie dishes. I had a bit of the brussel sprouts and pancetta, and some green beans. They were both WAY undercooked. I like my veggies crunchy too but this still tasted kinda raw or green. That's what I get for eating freakin veggies in a buffet, huh?!
Dessert: The creme brulee was standard and pretty good. I know they're kinda supposed to be snack sized or sample sized or something but the dish was so shallow I had to have two! The homemade chocolate ice cream was also a hit. Almost had one of those lil cupcakes because my friends liked them, but I had to hold back :) I had my reservations about paying $35 for a buffet but it was well worth it.
