This is what went through my head as we were being walked to our table during my first trip there:
"Wow! Fancy. Damn there are a lot of tables. I see food. That looks really good. Are we really still walking? More food. Nice aquarium. How far away is our table? This place is really nice. More food. I am so ready for this."
The variety of foods offered at this place astounds me. There's steak, crab legs, roast beef, smoked salmon, tropical fruit, an extensive salad bar, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean foods, a variety of breads, cakes, pies, cookies, cheeses, and crackers. You can watch all of this being freshly prepared by the chefs behind the food stations.
In addition to the great food, D'Maris is clean and beautifully decorated. From the food to the chairs, everything looks high-quality. The restaurant is also enormous; able to seat over 500 people.
Normally I am able to eat quite a bit of food, but a couple hours before my birthday dinner I had ran over 30km. When I arrived, my appetite was particularly voracious:
Smoked Salmon, Grilled Vegetables, Grilled Fish,
Honey-Garlic Sausage and Potato Salad, Sweet Corn, Teriyaki Chicken.
Shrimp, Salmon, Crab, and Eel Nigiri Sushi. Tuna, Cheese, Vegetable, Fruit Rolls.
Sweet and Sour Pork, Fried Rice, Egg Noodles,
Honey-Garlic Chicken, Caramelized Sweet Potatoes.
Fried Chicken, Fried Fish, Tempura
Shrimp Salad, Tomato-Basil Salad, Grilled Vegetables, Korean Dumpling,
Korean Pancake, Cheese Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza
Cheese Pizza, Pepperoni Pizza, Grapes, Apple Slices, Fruit Salad, Purple Mangosteens
Waffle, Bread, Coffee Cake, Chocolate Cakes
Cookies, Bread Pudding, Cheese Cake, Chocolate Roll, Ice-Cream
More Chocolate Cake and Ice-Cream
After eating all this food, I wanted nothing more than lie down and take a nap. That's exactly what I did when I got back home. What a great meal.
That is an amazing amount of food at one time even after a long run. You showed us nine platefuls. I don't think I could have done four!
