Last night I was invited to a friends birthday at Buddha Ta in the Design Quarter for a bit of drinking and dancing.... Little did I know there would be less drinking (it took 15mins to get served in our booth and a further 30 mins for our drinks to then arrive) and more dancing. Considering my night out usually revolves around the latter this is naturally problematic.
I really have NO idea why people genuinely LIKE Buddha Ta? Someone please explain this to me? OK, so it looks pretty! I too have gawked at the huge Buddha statue, giggled at the ringing of the gong and jotted down the Buddha quotes on the wall to tweet at a later date.... The crowd of people are pretentious as a twitter friend pointed out (but that we all were already aware of), the drinks are horrifically expensive (if you ever get them) and the food although semi edible comes in servings fitting of a anorexic (you literally need to go to MacDonald's down the road afterwards cos guaranteed you will STILL be hungry), the music is kinda cool, but any music can be kind cool.
The only WOW factor Buddha Ta has is the Buddha Statue inside, oh and the Candy Mojito (That comes in a Martini glass and I finished in 3 sips - most expensive 3 sips of my life) that tastes pretty amaze - but then again any drink tastes amaze after you have waited 45mins to get it.
Throw that all together with the fact that previously when I had gone to Buddha Ta it was for my starfish's dinner birthday they said that they could not cater for a 18person table (after seating us next to a table for 16 people) and split our dinner party up into two tables of 9. pray tell, how the HELL do you have a dinner party one TWO SEPARATE TABLES??????? complete and utter bullshit I tell you.
To round up. I do not like Buddha Ta. At all. I mean I dedicated a blog post to it.
That's all the ranting I have for today.
Punky out.
