Groupon Malaysia

The only times that skipping a queue is considered socially acceptable is when someone’s health is at a stake, or when someone’s steak is at risk of being charred and beyond eating. Make excuses and skip the line with today’s Groupon: for RM39, you get an international buffet dinner at Makan-Makan Coffeehouse at The Coronade Hotel, Kuala Lumpur (RM78.88 value). 

Peruse through endless horizontal shelves of digestible divergences, substituting paperback novels for hardcover prawns and other sinewy meats. Stand by a BBQ cart where lamb, beef and fish fan the flames of hearty eating while a carving station allows meat cravers to feast eyes upon beef wellington shavings before indulging in its flavour. Aside from the main action, spreads of beef goulash, lamb stew with root vegetables, chicken curry kapitan, grilled salmon with teriyaki sauce and other like-minded flavours attempt to steal the spotlight from their own little corners. Pander to sweet feelings with a variety of international and local desserts, including house favourites of sago gula Melaka, chocolate brownies and cheesecake, while jealous tubs of omnipresent ice cream look to condiments to add zest to commonly overlooked delights.
