Swiss buffet at Swissotel
cheers to marj for letting me know about the Swiss food festival at Swissotel (68 Market Street, Sydney) from 28 July – 17 August. Home-style Swiss comfort food buffet ($35 for lunch, $49 for dinner) and a fondue menu available for dinner.

haha swissotels awesome glasses leaned!
the foods
the cheese! there was a wonderfully creamy brie, a holey swiss, a tangy blue and i think there was also a sharp cheddar accompanied by a heap of crackers, breadsticks and fruit
the hot food bar section was manned by a cheerful chinese chef who was serving piping hot rosti, creamy soups and baby potatos smothered in gooey cheese. i didnt take a foto of the hot food in the bain maries around the corner because they were all closed and i didnt want to open every single one to take a foto cos i was alrdy being looked at funny hehe but there was creamy spinach, baked cheesey pastas, ocean trout swimming in cheese, chives and rosemary, and also pork and veal not in cheese.
salad section with cold pasta, pickled vegies and cold meats
cold meats section had seared pepper tuna, smoked salmon and more cuts of meat and in the middle huge chunks of pate!
my pate to bread ratio… hoho me and noods cleaned them out of the pate that night!
fondue oh my so cheesey and the basket of bread was magical it just did not disappear no matter how much we ate
dessert time! chocolate fountain with fruits, cake, marshmallows and chocolate mousse shots
i have no idea what that plate of squigglys were but it was like eating a plate of piped icing that wasnt sweet… there was mini cups of cream brulee that couldve done with a bit more time under the burning flame cos there was sadly no crunchy crispy top. also cute shaped biscuits, sugary sweet meringues, and gorgeous lindt opera cake
apple streudals galore, berry cheesecake, wobbly creme caramels and best of all macarons!
only 2 flavours but i was over the moon with joy! the macarons were perfect! the pink one more perfect because it tasted like the innards of a monte carlo! oh yes i ate 8 of those babies…
