To be honest, I’ve dined at a few buffet restaurants before, but I never really blog about it — unless it’s sponsored by the restaurant. The wide selection of food always surprises me, followed by the overwhelming dilemma of what to choose. Before I know it, I’m in a food coma, unable to move because my tummy is so full.
This time, I decided to write about my buffet experience to get used to it. Please bear with this very informal blog as I share how my dining experience at a buffet restaurant in Glorietta went.
Buffet 101 mainly offers Asian cuisines — Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Filipino dishes. However, one thing that’s always present in any buffet I’ve tried is roasted beef. See that chunk of meat on my plate below? There it is!
Also, if you love shrimps, Buffet 101 has tons of dishes with it. (or maybe it was just the time when we dined-in). I happen not to have photos of shrimps in the chafing dish because it was already empty!
Go scroll to drool!
Soup
My officemates said the seafood chowder (picture below) is yummy!
Salad
Bread
Rice
Sushi and sashimi will always have a place for a buffet!
Chinese
Meat
Sauce-based
Veggies
Dessert
The dessert has a wide array of selections and it was heavenly good! At the back of my mind I was thinking if this was their specialty.
Drink
Lastly, what I like about Buffet 101 is the herbal tea they offer. It’s not in the tea bags but the real deal, love it. Ang lakas maka-TEAtas of Manila! See the picture below what certain herbal leaves can do to your wellness.
If we were to compare the food at Buffet 101 to Vikings, we know who would come out on top. Buffet 101 caters to Class B and Class C diners, so we couldn’t expect more — but it’s still good.
My officemates and I dined at Dad’s, another buffet restaurant, a few months ago, and we all agreed that the food quality and variety were much better there than at Buffet 101.
As for the ambiance, Buffet 101 boasts a well-designed interior and feels spacious. It’s well-ventilated, and their powder room is quite classy! The waitstaff courteously cleared our table and attended to our needs as best as they could. The commis also served me with undivided attention.
