Red Hot World Buffet Promotion: Leeds

 

Ever have the dilemma of what type of cuisine to opt for on a night out? Can't agree with your family, friends or partner whether to go for Chinese or Indian? Does your husband hanker for a steak whilst you have a real craving for Mexican?

If so look no further than the Red Hot World Buffet...I was invited to sit at the Chef's table at their Leeds branch and was seriously impressed with all of their dishes. The restaurant in Leeds includes specialist zones such as North and South Indian kitchens, a sushi station, a cold-stone creamery, Oriental grill and Mediterranean kitchens. I have also been with my family about six month's ago - when we were impressed with the stunning presentation of the food, the attentive service and the vast choice of dishes. So please be aware that although the meal was complimentary all views and opinions included in this review are my own.

Above is a picture of the 'mocktail' which greeted me - all juicy strawberries and crushed ice (a perfect combo for a heavily pregnant lady!) 

And here was our menu, complete with accompanying photos, for the night:

 Amuse bouche

Hand rolled salmon sushi or with avocado and mango (v)

Entrée

Potato tikki, a traditional Indian street food

Fish course

Seafood risotto or with asparagus and sundried tomato (v)

Main course

Chicken teppanyaki prepared on an Oriental grill or with vegetables (v)

Petit fours

Mini crème brȗlée, brownies and cheesecakes served with fresh coffee

Dessert

Pancakes served with a variety of delicious toppings

Choose from triple chocolate, white chocolate and strawberry or banana and caramel

And to finish homemade mini macaroons with melon liquor - phew! Serious food coma!

My highlights: 

• Avocado and mango sushi was light and the spring flavours really complimented each other
• The sauces served with the potato tikki really set it off and it was a yummy starter
• The risotto was delicately flavoured and has plenty of asparagus tips to crunch on
• The brownie and chocolate pancakes were a revelation and for me the top dish of the night - but then I do have a serious case of sweet tooth!

 Overall:

• Perfect for a big group or family as there is so much variety (there is a stringent booking policy for big groups - so be aware of this)
• Attentive service
• Food is expertly prepared using the freshest ingredients and is presented in an eye-catching and mouth watering plethora of cuisines
• You will not leave hungry!

So! Bar and Eats: Knaresborough, West Yorkshire

We had a taste-card free trial for a month and so decided to take a day out to Knaresborough and go to one of our old favs for lunch - So! Bar and Eats.
Being a veggie I love it when you can get loads of interesting little dishes to pick at and so this menu is perfect for me.
The nibbles are all around £4 and we got some falafel and hummous (which was a really generous portion) and some breads and drizzles. Mains are from around £7-12. I had the scoobies, pictured below, filled with Mexican ingredients like guacamole, salsa and refried beans. They were great.

My husband had the Italian burger and seemed to enjoy it a lot. The chips were tasty too and you got generous dips with them too. 

The dessert menu looks really tasty, but we were really full and for lunch felt that one starter would have been sufficient, A great place to come with a group of friends of family and you can get a whole selection of sharers. Food is fresh and service was quite good. I would recommend it.
