ok guys, we can be a bit muddled up when considering either to have a buffet reception or a normal 'hidang'. Here's a survey I did recently...majority of Malaysian guests prefer sit down dining compared to buffet for the following reasons:
1. nobody wants to look like a glutton when it comes to taking food from the buffet table.
2. The thought of getting up to take second helpings can be uncomfortable for some.
3. Safer to have a sit down banquet as u won't have curries and gravies spilling on ur clothes.
4. Apparently it's cheaper too becoz everyone gets the same portion of food...so there's no room for gluttons here!
hope this helps...
