Awesome Buffet Spread at Atrium, Intercontinental Perth Burswood

Offtopic: We are now on Twitter, so Follow Us on Twitter to get first-hand updates whenever we ... update!

Oh wow it's been almost three weeks since we posted our last food review. Three weeks! That's probably something like a full year in blog age. Better late than never though! During our trip to Perth we visited the Burswood Entertainment Complex, which has a casino, stadium, theatre, and almost a dozen restaurants, including an awesome buffet place named Atrium!


Atrium is located in the InterContinental Perth Burswood Hotel. The seating area is wide, spacious and airy, and the restaurant has got a very modern, chic decor.


For the kaki botol's among you, there's a fully loaded bar to satisfy all your alcohol needs. Naturally these drinks aren't included in the buffet price, though.


Onwards to the most important stuff, though - the food! There's a selection of smoked salmon and cod and some pre-mixed salad/pasta-type dishes, and you can also mix up your own caesar salad with as much cheese, bacon bits, and anchovies as your heart desires.


If you're more of a seafood lover, I imagine you'd head directly over to the seafood bar and help yourself to as much shrimp/prawns, oysters, and crabs as you can stomach.


There are two separate hot dishes spreads. The first 'Western'-style area has some pretty good Beef Stroganoff, among other dishes. There's also a pasta station (that we didn't try), and some roasted meats - pork, chicken and roast beef.


The 'Asian'-style spread mixes a few Indian curries and Chinese dishes - including Peking Duck!


Having eaten our quota of food, we turn our attention to the huge variety of delicious-looking desserts on offer!



My favorite was this ... cake. Mounds of ice cream loaded with tons of toppings like M&Ms, various nuts and berries, and finished off with a generous amount of chocolate sauce - yummy!


Overall we end up pretty satisfied! Dinner for AUD59 nett per person was, in our opinion, reasonable for a spread of this quality and quantity. Typical of most buffets the dishes are solid but not outstanding - perfect if you're in the mood for trying lots of variety.

Offtopic: We are now on Twitter, so Follow Us on Twitter to get first-hand updates whenever we ... update!

The sounding name of Corica's well known Best Apple Strudels in Perth comes to mind & words of mouth, when our dearest friends and family know we're heading to Perth...

Corica's Apple Strudels

It's so popular that to catch up with the customer demand, it's pretty common to make sure you get your share, is to call in to book a day earlier, leaving your name & contact number. (Check out more details at the end of the blog) Without doubt we call in a day early to book 4 Strudels to bring back to Singapore!

Corica's Apple Strudels

Minor unpacking and we both can't resist and slice ourselves each one serving!

Digging in the softness of the lightly buttery thin fluffy layers of pastry, the light cream with the crunchy juicy and aromatic cooked apple! *Heavenly*

Corica's Apple Strudels

Shortly after finishing this serving we continue unpacking our bags, till we heard the calling for another slice of Corica's Apple Strudels. are we addicted already?

Neither do i need to describe much! One more close up pictures for you to drool on~

Of Overgrown Hedges and Huge Iron Gates

Offtopic: We are now on Twitter, so Follow Us on Twitter to get first-hand updates whenever we ... update!

We're back! Perth was an awesome city! Shame about the weather, which was very, very cruel to us, like you'll see in this video:


Sadface :(

On the bright side, the rains only hit us for 15-30 minutes at a go, so we did still manage to have a whale of a time, including getting (sort of) locked behind bars in the Fremantle Prison!
