Family lunch at Rebung

Months since plans were made for the big family lunch at Rebung (for their buffet lunch, natch). Okaylah, since July, but still. 

Sibling and I got tasked with bringing the grandmother with us since the 'rents wanted to go to (nearby) Lake Club afterwards unencumbered and she (grandma) didn't really want to travel with my uncle, auntie, cousin and his two kids in a pickup she can barely climb unto. Having been there a few times now, we got there in no time. 

BTW, parking there now is RM4 per entry. 

We got there, mentioned my aunt's reservation and we got one of the private rooms (plus another table outside...?). The three of us got there just as the buffet started (few minutes before noon), so we started to digging in right away. Some of the families got a little lost finding their way there; I think one actually ended up at Titiwangsa...? (Allegedly)

There were also a couple of weddings happening there, so the place was the most chaotic I've ever seen once the wedding guests got their turn to eat. Was kinda sad that there was no grilled pari or the ais kacang station (can use the evaporated milk for teh-o and kopi-o), but I'm okay with the asam pedas too... to the detriment of my post nasal drip. Some of the party complained that the desserts were too sweet, to which I say... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Before we left, one auntie asked someone if Chef Ismail was available to take some pictures. I dunno what line she used, but I give the man credit for agreeing (I've heard that he's pretty accommodating). I'm just kinda hoping that my grandma didn't accidentally call him Chef Wan or something... 😬
