The Glasshouse buffet

Perhaps it’s being buffeted by relentless rain that’s doing it to me. Suddenly, all my promises to pick at my food daintily like a good Gone with the Wind lass seem to have been washed away. What’s left is a hungry rumble in my tummy that could even eclipse the rolling thunder. Which is why the eataholic in me hit the lavish seasonal buffet at The Glasshouse. The informal, yet chic and all-modern dining space also has a breathtaking view of the pool and rain swept sky.
Apart from my regular faves — fish and chips with tartare sauce and the excellent kathi kebabs — the buffet tables are groaning with local and international flavours. The dinner spread is the one I’d recommend if you’re as food mad as I am. Pig out at the live stations. Pick from a range of meats and veggies in various sauces at the sauté counter; or go healthy at the stir-fry or salad stations. The two most popular stations are the fresh baked pizza stop and the dessert counter. The menu changes often and most of it is custom-made, so you’re assured of the best and freshest ingredients and a meal that’s definitely memorable. And can you believe it? Their Sunday buffet, called ‘Windows of the World’ or WOW for short, has an even more extensive range of dishes!
So, what can you expect from the menu? Extreme non-veg ops like pork salad, pepper salami, shammi kabab and curries prepared in an interactive ’show kitchen’. And the superb veg Glasshouse salad in a unique tomato wasabi dressing and some of the best veg pizzas in town.
Still not satisfied? I’d say go all out and have their signature dish — the flourless chocolate cake. This delish dessert is one of my favourites — with the crustiest top and the moistest interior — don’t miss it for anything.
