Brazil! Brazil!

We had a reason to celebrate when we ate here. They actually have no food available for a la carte. When they handed me a menu, I thought they did but it turned out to be a verrry detailed drink menu. They had very limited choices in the buffet. One dish per kind of meat only. That night they had a salad, a white sauced pasta dish, steamed vegetables, rice, fish fillet and a chicken dish. They also had several salads like the classic
potato salad, fruit salad and waldorf salad. The star of the buffet though are the CHURRASCOS. That's what Brazilian food is basically all about. The waiters go around the tables serving skewers of their different meats. We of course tried each and everyone of them. There was the:

beef loin- lean
beef hanging tender- a bit musty in taste
beef brisket-it tasted great but it was so fatty!
chicken thigh-great marinade. my fave of among all that was served
lamb- this was good also. the mint jelly (they had 2 variants) was really very complimentary to the basting they used on the roast
pork belly-really rich
pork loin-fatty
sausages-
corn on the cob- great palette cleaner
bananas- who knew roaste bananas would taste this good?
pineapples- i really liked this. brought out the true sweetness of the pineapples

There was a yoyo placed in our table which had a red and green side. If the green side was up, that meant keep the food coming. Naturally, the red side meant stop.
It was a great dining experience. I'm just not so sure if it was worth the price tag. :)
