Hot Pot Buffet at Central Festival

[Evil Penevil]

The Hot Pot Buffet is located on the 6th floor of Central Festival Mall and is open between 11 a.m. and 10 p.m.

The name pretty much says it all- it's a fixed price, all-you-can-eat Thai-style hot pot restaurant. You pick the ingredients you want from the buffet, then cook them in boiling broth in a hot pot at your table. There was a wide variety of meat, seafood and vegetables.

The buffet includes a limited number of ingredients for Western-style salads as well as sushi and dim sum items; some prepared hot foods (pork, fish, fried rice, noodles, etc); and fresh fruit and dessert items. There are a dozen different sauces you can use to make your hot pot as spicy and pungent as you want.

 

 

 

If you enjoy Thai hot pot but want some other dishes as well, Hot Pot Buffet isn't a bad choice. I think the hot pot at MK tastes better - probably due to higher quality raw ingredients - but there's nothing wrong with Hot Pot Buffet. And some will definitely appreciate having more choices included in the "all-in" price. For three of us, the buffet, drinks and service charge amounted to 1,012 baht.

 

There were plenty of diners when we walked in at 5.30 p.m., but it wasn't crowded. I'd estimate that 80% of the guests were Thai or other Asians and 20% farang, mostly Russian.

Now that does look good.....

I put my head around one which was on the 5th floor similar but not the same and I forget what it was cost wise (think 299 Baht) and it was heaving with Thais at 1pm in the afternoon

I only go for the TG's benefit, prefer the roast duck at MK.

Sounds nice and I like the buffet style restaurants, on my first visit to patters my friend took me to the open air buffet restaurant at the top of 3rd road quite an experience at the time.
