restaurant review - marco polo at pearl continental

Went for a farewell dinner for Chris, Margaret and Jessica who are being posted to Kuwait. Should be a nice change, paying 1 dinar to USD 3/=. Whee. Anyway I've been to Marco Polo for dinner before but never tried the buffet. Truth be told, it was not too bad. The salad bar was pretty good, only thing missing was probably iceberg lettuce. The spread was not extensive but enough. Can't eat that much anyway, at least not since the teenage years. The continental was reasonable and the Pak was, well, I am not Pakistani, so really my taste may not be indicative, but I found it pretty good. Pasta corner was limited to tomato based sauce and cream (as usual). I asked for olive oil and to be fair to the staff they actually made an attempt to get what I wanted. Anyway it was a pretty good night out thanks to the company.
