Midnight Buffet At Corniche

February 23, 2013

This is our suprise pre-birthday treat to daughter. So earlier today, I nagged her about taking a nap (which she wasn't able to do because of Battle Cat or was it Cat Battle?) so that she won't feel sleepy when we go to the midnight buffet at Corniche, Diamond Hotel. Of course, I didn't tell her that we're going to a buffet because she'll be very excited. Yes, she loves to eat and lucky her because she remains skinny. Life's not fair. :(



I made a reservation the day before so we didn't leave home until its almost 10:30pm. And we still have about 15 minutes to spare and freshen up.


That's my first plate. Two kinds of cheese, pizza and soft bread. Cheese tastes delish, the pizza was so good, and the bread, well, its really soft. I love everything on my plate.



Another slice of cheese, penne with meat sauce, bacon, lamb balls, beef steak something, and baked salmon. I love the bacon (so crispy!) and the cheese. The penne was just so-so, the beef was flavorful but a bit hard, the lamb balls- nevermind! The salmon was o-kay except that it has too much cream so there's the umay-factor after a few bites. I'm going back for the bacon!


First round of bottomless iced-tea. Good but sweet.


His and Hers Sangria. Hic! Wasn't able to go back for seconds though because I got side-tracked with the bacon.


The pineapple was so sweet- love it! I had another round. The choco cake was squished so I just dipped the soft bread on it- yum yum yum. As for the tart, I forgot to eat it ... because I had another round of bacon, hehehe.


Another round of cheeses. And creme brulees. At first I don't want to taste the chocolate creme brulee and had a bite first of the other one but when I did, it felt that I went to creme brulee heaven. Soooo good! And everyone was eager to snag the other creme brulee (the one on my plate was the last one on the dessert table) but there are more than enough of the chocolate one. I'm glad I got both. :)


That's daughter and I. Photo taken before we ate a lot. ;)

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity! 

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow!
