yoslim Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Last night I had a dream I was devouring a buffet of desserts so maybe it's time to spend some money in a nice place.. I know the menu changes everyday, when is the best day with largest european/italian food on offer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 My favorite day by far is the Wednesday hamburger/sandwich day. I've also done the Monday bbq and the pasta day (Tuesday or Thursday I forget) and that was my 2nd favorite. Seafood is on Friday's but that's not my thing. I think Saturday might have more desserts on offer but I've never been that day either. Sent from my GT-I9100T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPuddingBertha Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Wednesday is the last day I would go on. I cant see the point at all of paying for good food and then eating hamburgers. Each to his own though. Tuesday is Italian day with pizza, pasta, Italian cold cuts and the usual international dishes and desserts. Probably my favourite day though I cant recommend the pizza. Friday is seafood as mentioned (40B extra) and is fine. Thursday is Asian and is also very good indeed. These three would be my choices. Monday is BBQ (I've never been). Saturday is "international" with an emphasis on desserts but as I've never managed to try all the desserts on a regular day I dont quite see the point of having more available. I'm not really a dessert person anyway. Sunday is great but costs three times the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy it and have been on Wednesday at least a 1/2 dozen times. The wife joins me and never touches the burgers and still gets more than her monies worth.

BlackPuddingBertha Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I wouldn't go for lunch. Too many people - it's a shit fight.I go pretty well once a week at lunchtime and have never had any problems with overcrowding on any day (dont know about Saturdays). When I went one Sunday lunchtime recently the place was mostly empty. When I went on Friday evening two weeks ago it was packed to the rafters and they only found me a table because they know me. So based on my experience I would say avoid evenings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPuddingBertha Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 ... 950 on Fridays (seafood). 990B on Friday. 1020B with water. "Wine buffet" about 600B, I think. Friday evening is very similar to Sunday brunch but without the foie gras and caviar and juices, and 200B cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been quite a while since I've done lunch there (mid-2011). I stopped because it was always crowded whenever I went and there were too many cheap charlie types there with terrible buffet manners (the low price brings them in)... and it is rushed as it closes at 2:30pm. I have never encountered a busy evening - ever. I don't go on Fridays, so that maybe an exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Cheap Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) The Hilton buffet kind of sucks in my opinion. Get more bang for your buck and decent food at Thai Garden resort. 299 per person from 6 to 9 p.m. White tablecloth tables around a nice looking swimming pool and decent service. The only thing that kind of blows is the Filipino band that walks around from table to table playing music. It's nice the first time you go, but if you frequent the place it gets a little old, kind of like every cover band in this town. This is a copy and paste from my personal notes in my phone: Thai Garden buffet Monday pizza and pasta* Tuesday barbecue buffet* Wednesday multi-cuisine buffet* Thursday German buffet with roasted pig Friday Thai buffet Saturday international buffet* Sunday steaks and skewers buffet (Sucked)^ 6 to 9pm 299 per person 50 baht for one big bottle of water Edited March 14, 2013 by Charlie Cheap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get more bang for your buck and decent food at Thai Garden resort. 299 per person from 6 to 9 p.m. I've been to both (just about every theme) and the Hilton at 380B for lunch is significantly higher quality than the Thai Garden. That said, the Thai Garden is reasonable for 300B food-wise but the totally excessive cost of drinks doesn't help at all. As for white tablecloths, views of the pool and strolling bands, I'll pass on all of them. I go to these places to eat in peace and the view of the sea from the Hilton suits me fine, even if they dont have tablecloths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try going on another day when they do real food and not burgers. You will see no cheap Charlies there on those days as they will all be at the Lek and Apex.

Why should they? Maybe it has changed a bit then due to the price increase. When they first started in 2011 it was 300 baht including a bottle of water, and it was a terrible sh*t fight eating there. I soon gave up. Do you need to book ahead now if you want a table inside? I would recommend that people on a budget skip 2 lunches and enjoy an evening buffet instead.
