Bayside Buffet

Had the breakfast buffet here. Food was just average. There weren’t many options, and the pancakes were cold. The only thing I really liked was the partially cooked scrambled eggs.

This buffet takes the cake (literally and figuratively). We called them to reserve a 6pm dinner buffet. You also have the option to choose whether you want to dine on the ground floor or the first floor. We opted for the ground floor since that's where the food is located. We arrived at the location 30 minutes before dinner. The food was surprisingly great! I never thought I would like food served in an unlimited buffet. I've tried a lot of them, and believe me, they were all meh. But this one is an exception. The highlight for me was the roasting section. They served lechon (with the oh-so-delicious skin), roasted chicken, roasted pork, lechon kawali, and I think something like a Hainanese chicken. You can request the roast beef at the counter behind the roastery display. It was melt-in-your-mouth good. They also have a pasta section, a sushi/sashimi area, dim sum, seafood (crabs, shrimps, scallops), and desserts. Speaking of desserts, I think their upside-down pineapple cake is low-key the best in town. It's soft and pillowy, and you can really taste the saccharine pineapple. The texture is very hard to describe, but in a positive way. You'll know once you've tried it. I had seconds of the cake. It was that good. Overall, the food was great. The cleanliness was a 10, and the service was impeccable. Every morsel is worth the visit (or in my case, the pineapple upside-down cake).

We went there to celebrate Mama Mameng's birthday. We totally enjoyed the variety of food that they serve and the helpfulness of the staff. Not too crowded for a buffet restaurant. We can all breath with its spacious dining area. We are all seated in one big table where 14 all of us could chat, eat and have a good laugh and full stomach. My mother especially enjoyed being serenaded and even dance while the singers are singing her songs. Love it.

So It was a birthday dinner for my partner, and I'm glad he enjoyed it. We were hoping to grab a plate of their famous cebu lechon, but there was none. So we directed our attention to the carving station. The roast beef was savory, and the gravy was lit! I truly enjoyed their tempura and dessert station. Hopefully, on our next visit, we will be welcomed with more food selection, and Cebu lechon.
