Time to binge again. Armed with my sister-in-law's card, hubby & I fearlessly charged Manila Hotel's Cafe Ilang Ilang. Since the card entitles the holder to a 50% discount we decided to try out the breakfast buffet. Hubby really enjoys good breakfasts. As expected, the place was full when we arrived. Lots of tourist that day. Since our little boy was with us, the first thing I hit was the congee section. Have to feed the little fellow while we eat otherwise he'll complain. There's a wide selection of food from Filipino to Italian. Food was average, just the usual buffet. Can't enjoy the coffee because it was not hot enough.
Several days after & we're back, this time for dinner. Sis-in-law told us the card will expire soon so we might as well maximize it. I really enjoyed the japanese section, lots of makis & sushis. It was good, was not able to taste everything though. When you're full you just can't appreciate the food snymore no matter how good it tastes. Generally the food was average. Like what I always tell hubby, most buffets taste the same. The price was reasonable as long as you avail the 50% discount.
By the way, Manila Hotel is newly renovated, the place brags of it's elegance. I wasn't able to take pictures because my little guy was so cranky during our 2 visits. Bottomline, if you don't enjoy the food, at least you'll enjoy the place & ambiance.
