Stanford Hotel Buffet in Mong Kok: Returning to childhood memories, letting me feel the priceless cherishment and warmth

When I think back to my youth, there are always some beautiful memories that keep coming back. For me, the most unforgettable thing is participating in the $20 Christmas dinner held at the community center every Christmas. At that time, I came from a poor family and rarely had the opportunity to go out with friends to eat, drink and have fun, but this event was the only chance every year that allowed me to enjoy a rich buffet at the hotel, as well as win gifts and prize draws and other surprises. I looked forward to it so much during those years! Today, a secondary school classmate and I made an appointment to return to the restaurant of the Stanford Hotel in Mong Kok (118 Soy Street, Mong Kok), where the community center often held Christmas dinners, to enjoy a buffet together and reminisce about those good memories. When I stepped into the restaurant, although the environment, decoration and layout had been completely renovated and magnificent, I felt an inexplicable warmth and touching feeling in my heart. Perhaps it is because this place once carried my childhood dreams and expectations, or perhaps it is because this place once made me feel selfless care and support. Looking back on the Christmas dinner of that year, I still clearly remember the feeling of excitement and anticipation. Even though the buffet at that time was not very luxurious, the anticipation and cherishment were priceless. Today's buffet selection is richer than in the past. Soon after we sat down, the waiter brought each of us four American oysters as an appetizer. They were very fresh, large, creamy and plump. For cold dishes, there are snow crab legs, mussels, frozen shrimp, cantaloupe and Parma ham, which is very rich. As for sashimi, thick-cut salmon and octopus are the restaurant’s recommendations. They are fresh and delicious, making you salivate with anticipation. For hot dishes, stir-fried mussels with ginger and scallions, spicy chicken, braised spare ribs with BBQ sauce, baked scallops with cheese and eggs, and Hainanese chicken are all delicacies not to be missed. In addition, the restaurant also offers bottled Coke and Movenpick ice cream. There is also freshly made souffle on site. Just take the order card and the waiter will notify you to go to the counter to collect it after the souffle is prepared. This allows you to enjoy the freshly made food on site while also enjoying the best service. In addition, it is worth praising that the restaurant employs some older waiters, each of whom is excellent and friendly. While enjoying the food, we can also feel the growth and transformation of the restaurant over the years. If you are also a nostalgic friend, then I strongly recommend you to come to the Stanford Hotel Restaurant to enjoy the sumptuous buffet while reminiscing about those good memories. The restaurant's service and dishes are very commendable, and I believe they will bring you unforgettable memories and a wonderful experience.
