Graduation Treat at Buffet 101

You can also read first My Centennial Paulinian Graduation

After the ceremony in school, we headed at Buffet 101 located at San Miguel by the Bay, Mall of Asia. It's near Microtel. Buffet 101 is an eat and drink-all-you-can buffet. I was really excited to try the foods at Buffet 101 since I read several good reviews on the place. 

Upon entering the place, I was greeted by the lavish interiors, posh ambiance and spacious dining are making the entire restaurant sophisticated and hotel-like. I must say that interiors pa lang worth na yung price ng food, what more pa kaya when I started tasting their wide food selections.

Finally, I'm at Buffet 101

What a great reward! :)

I did my usual routine kapag kumakain sa buffet, libutin muna lahat at take some photos. Makita ko pa lang yung mga foods parang nabusog na ako. Haha! They had several selections from Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, American, Korean, Thai at iba pa na hindi ko na ma-recognize. They had everything from meat to seafoods to soup to salads to breads to sweets to drinks. Halos lahat meron na. :)

I wasn't able to take photos of everything since I got too excited and overwhelmed with what I saw. Hehe! Anyhow, enjoy my some of my shots. :)

As my usual start for every buffet I went to, I had tempura and several sushi and maki. I must say na ang sarap ng tempura. Umpisa pa lang ng pagkain ko, winner na agad. The sushi and maki also tasted great. Kaya sa round 2 ko, I tried again the other sushi and maki na hindi ko na-try sa round one. I also took several pieces of Salmon Sashimi and Tuna Sashimi dahil super favorite ko yun. Sa lahat ng buffet na nakainan ko na merong mga sashimi, sa Buffet 101 yung pinakamakapal at malaki yung cut. Fresh din siya kaya nag-enjoy talaga ako. :)

After trying my favorite Japanese foods, I tried the grilled and meat dishes. I asked the chefs to grill some lamb chops and angus beef. It is important pala to know your table number when you asked the chef to cook your food request since they will deliver it at your table. It was my first time to taste those to grilled foods at nagustuhan ko yung pagkakaluto. I also tried the crispy crab na crispy talaga kaya I was able to eat it's soft shells.

We enjoyed the grilling station kaya seafoods naman pina-grill namin. We asked them to grill some squid, fishe (I forgot the name), yung parang mini-lobster and yung scallops. My favorite was the scallops since it tasted heavenly. Ang sarap talaga!

Round 1

Part of the eat-all-you-can buffet was their drink-all-you-can section. I asked for several servings of watermelon shake. It was definitely refreshing and it did not easily made me feel bloated, or sadyang gutom lang talaga ata ako. Haha! :))

After all the heavy entrees I ate, it was now dessert time. I went first to my favorite, which was the Blueberry Cheesecake. It also tasted good. Kung hindi lang ako super bloated, nag-round 2 pa ako nun. Among all the desserts, yung blueberry cheesecake ang blockbuster at madali maubos. I had to wait for a few minutes to get a serving of it. I also liked the Chocolate Volcano ata yun. Basta yung chocolate cake with chocolate filling sa loob. It was too sweet for me but nevertheless, I enjoyed it. Minsan lang naman ako kumain ng super matamis eh.

Since matagal nga mag-replenish ng Blueberry Cheesecake, I got a marshmallow filled with Chocolate from the chocolate fondue. I sprinkles some candies. I also had some gummy bears and gummy burgers, my favorites. This desserts reminded me of childhood. :)

Remembering my childhood. :)

The pros:

• Sophisticated interiors, posh ambiance and spacious dining area
• Great tasting foods
• Wide selection of foods and drinks
• Friendly staff and fast-delivery of grilled foods

The cons:

• Slow replenishment of foods
• Not-so-good plating kaya hindi ko napansin yung ibang food

Overall, my family enjoyed our dining experience at Buffet 101. Sulit ang price. We will definitely go back here. I will also try Vikings and Sambokojin in the near future. :)

My super satisfied family
