SEASALT’s Brand New À la carte Buffet

SEASALT is already well known to the guests of Cross Pattaya Pratumnak. From 7 a.m. in the morning, the restaurant provides some excellent options including the very popular “Bubbly Breakfast”. However, we were at this magnificent resort with its magnificent sunset sea views, to discover their newest concept at SEASALT, a remarkable À la carte Buffet

Priced at just 888 baht (++) with the inclusion of a sparkling welcome drink – (a bottle for a table of 4) I thought, for the quality and variety of unlimited food that this was rather too reasonable. However, this is how the buffet works – you order all your dishes via the QR code on your table. Then you are given the finishing time for your dining experience. We had a slot from 6:30pm to 8 pm. If you go past your allocated hour and a half, you will be charged 100 baht per person for every 10 minutes thereafter.

So, time to start with some delicate dishes of Sushi, Sashimi, Shrimp Tempura and even Wagyu Beef Sushi. Some of these portions were served as 3 pieces which was a bit tricky as we were sharing between 2. This was in order to try as many different dishes as possible. However, we managed scrupulously fairly to cut the 3rd piece in half each time, and if one of us really loved something then of course it was easy enough just to reorder it with the QR code.

There is also a plentiful salad bar with a varied choice of dressings. My favourite was the Japanese Sesame dressing. We also ordered some Edamame soybeans which were delicious, very well seasoned and easy to munch on whilst waiting for the dishes we had ordered to be brought to the table – yes apart from the salad, water and juice bar you don’t have to serve yourself at all. No patiently waiting for your turn at the most popular areas as with other buffets, here because of the QR code ordering everything is brought to your table. Also, we found our used plates instantly cleared by very friendly, helpful, smiling staff.

The menu is divided into different sections and from the Thai menu my favourite was the Khao Soi. Not always easy to find in Pattaya as it is a dish from the Northern region of Thailand, but when I do I usually have it with Chicken but the Beef version here was divine.

From the Western Menu, I would really recommend the Brazilian Beef Skewers. Cut at the table the beef was excellent and while we’re on the subject of beef you should also try the succulent Angus beef with truffle sauce. In fact, all the sauces were delicious from the satay to the Thermidor we loved them all

If you can manage it there are also some great desserts to choose from including my colleague’s berry panna cotta declared to be “delicious”. I was “all in” at the end of the hour and a half and can really say that I found the whole experience great fun and a real treat. With ambient music and restful lighting but not so dark that you can’t see to order, SEASALT is a lovely place in which to discover some excellent food.
