Star Buffet - Campbelltown

>> 1 Carberry Ln, Campbelltown

>> One Thumb Up 👍

>> ⭐️⭐️⭐️

>> Diners: Tommy H, LeeLoo and friends

Campbelltown RSL houses a buffet - Star Buffet - which is a very spacious and welcoming dining area. Tommy H, LeeLoo, Kannibal and William went there on a Sunday night. It wasn’t too busy; in fact, it had a very early closing time that night at just before 9pm. 

One of the things we were told was that there’s a bottomless (free refill) cup of soft drink (including slushies) for $2.80! Awesome - a great way to complement the meal. But don’t forget to eat lots of food and try lots of dishes. It costs $26.80 for an adult but you get a $2 discount if you’re a club member.

After we were directed to our seat, we sat down and then took turns exploring the various cuisines the buffet had to offer.

A very spacious dining hall! There’s plenty of room for all of your plates!

A delicious and smooth chicken corn soup. It was a bit on the watery, rather than thick side, so your mileage may vary when it comes to the texture. It seemed rather appropriate for this setting though, as a thicker consistency would have filled the stomach a lot quicker. 

An assortment of fried delights - chicken nuggets, chips and squid! Be careful not to overload on these.

Chicken schnitzel, baked potatoes, pasta, and roast!

Chicken curry! Shame there was no plain rice in view - probably would have been a good supplementary dish.

Fish! There was a variety of fish dishes available. The pan fried salmon was particularly good!

An Asian roast section, including roast pork and char siu. This section was particularly popular. The roast pork was cooked to perfection with excellent crackling.

Chocolate fountain

The obligatory chocolate fountain shot! Dip some crunchy amaretto biscuits and pineapples into this. One of many desserts to choose from. 

On the way to the cold section - where I particularly enjoyed a lot of the dishes, including the cold calamari salad - I eyed some dishes of smoked salmon. Delicious and delicate!

Some siu mai for those confused stomachs!

A number of desserts, including cupcakes, chocolate cakes and cheesecakes. Unfortunately, the desserts section was rather lacklustre. The cakes were either overly sweet, or stale. The chocolate cream was too overpowering with a strong sense of artificiality in its flavour. A bit disappointing; probably rather recommend the fresh fruit section (though that in itself was also a bit meagre, with only watermelon and rockmelon).

Chocolate mousse

It was too tempting to go back for one more bowl of the excellent Hokkien noodles after the unremarkable dessert section. It would be a good idea to scoop all the way down to the bottom to reach the unburnt bits, but this was definitely the highlight of my night. A humble, yet very true and fantastic dish.

Obligatory soft serve

Kannibal had the ingenious idea of adding frozen Coke to her vanilla soft serve to create a “spider” and LeeLoo opted for the usual chocolate syrup and sprinkles.

Sesame rice cake - actually was rather tasty and chewy

A cappuccino (which was instant and didn’t really taste like a cappuccino) was a good way to finish the night.

Overall:

Star Buffet at Campbelltown offers a spacious and comfortable dining area with a great range of options for food. Some were far better than others. In particular, the top three dishes included the Hokkien noodles, pan fried salmon and the roast. There was a sushi train present as well, with a nice selection of some of the staples of basic sushi, including salmon, egg and kombu.

The dessert section was sadly a little lacklustre though. It would have been nice to have more fruit as well, so the tail end of the buffet was a bit disappointing. Hopefully if their dessert section could be improved, then the offering would be much better.

Still, if you’re in the area, it would be a good place to dine. It’s reasonably priced for what you get, and would be a fine choice - especially if you’re not sure what you want to eat!

The Marconi Stallions Football Club is an Australian semi-professional soccer club based in Fairfield, Sydney, New South Wales. The club won the National Soccer League title a record four times, along with South Melbourne and Sydney City SC. The club is one of only two clubs to have competed in every season of the NSL. The club is a member of the New South Wales Premier League, playing their home games out of Marconi Stadium, in Bossley Park.HISTORY:The club was formerly known as Marconi Fairfield; the name comes from Guglielmo Marconi, the Italian inventor of the radio, and Fairfield (New South Wales), the city in which the club plays. The club was founded in 1958 by an Italian social club called Club Marconi, and was primarily backed and supported by Italians and Italian-Australians living in Sydney. However, the club and team have since established themselves as one of the top sports and social clubs in the Western Sydney / Fairfield area (which is known as the premier region for soccer in Sydney and Australia. This has seen the team gain recognition as one of Australia’s top soccer entities, with one of the highest rated youth academies in Australian soccer, and a support that has grown well beyond the Italian community in Sydney.— STAR BUFFET — A buffet (IPA: [ˈbʊfeɪ] in UK, IPA: [bʉˈfeɪ] in US, from French: sideboard) is a system of serving meals in which food is placed in a public area where the diners generally serve themselves.[1] Buffets are offered at various places including hotels, restaurants and many social events. Buffet restaurants typically offer all-you-can-eat (AYCE) food for a set price. Buffets usually have some hot dishes, so the term cold buffet (see Smörgåsbord) has been developed to describe formats lacking hot food. Hot or cold buffets usually involve dishware and utensils, but a finger buffet is an array of foods that are designed to be small and easily consumed by hand alone, such as cupcakes, slices of pizza, foods on cocktail sticks, etc.The essential feature of the various buffet formats is that the diners can directly view the food and immediately select which dishes they wish to consume, and usually also can decide how much food they take. Buffets are effective for serving large numbers of people at once, and are often seen in institutional settings, such as business conventions or large parties.
