Crowne Plaza Hotel's 7 Corners Buffet = Total Satisfaction!

It's always nice to try out different restaurants' specialties but it's more fun to try out hotel buffets. Why? Because it is literally a one-stop shop for different international cuisines. That is what I love best about hotel buffets.

So imagine my delight when I finally had the chance to eat at Crowne Plaza's famous Seven Corners. I was ecstatic! Me and my friend arrived there on time and was excited to start.

By the way, we got a great price for this through the group buying site, Deal Grocer. It was my second hotel buffet purchase with them and I am happy on both counts.

The entrance to gastronomic delights! 

BUFFET SPREAD CHOICES
The food all looked so good. I just wished that they had placed the name tags of the dishes for our better appreciation. At that time, I often wondered what this, or that, were but had to trust my taste buds for the decision-making.

Shrimp with mango salsa

Make-your-own salad with some ready-made cold salad dishes

I found this delightfully weird.. melon with some cured meat strips. I just had one. 

Sushi, anyone? Just a small variety of choices but they were all good. 

Seafoods! Oysters, shrimps and......LOBSTERS! I think these were the slipper lobsters variety. I think. =)

Pasta station. 

Your choice of pasta. Order away! But go easy on these carbs or else, you'll feel full fast.

Sausages and lamb meat, I think.

Of course, buffets are not complete without the prime favorite among carnivores..the U.S. Rib  Eye steak

Desserts! desserts!  

Perfect for those with chocolate cravings. I basically pour this on my cake, cookie or anywhere I can  as long as it tastes good

Sloppy use but of the ladle but what the heck, I did not mind. I added to the mess, I think, in  my own small way =)

One should not forget to get some fruit to cleanse your palette. Some of the fruits looked pale and not so sweet but it  was still a welcome change from the flavorful dishes.

So here is what we had! Boy, we were so happy dining here. =)

My first plate. Yum!!!

I repeated this plate twice! I really ate a lot of seafoods. These were so good!

There goes my second lobster piece.  I just changed my sauces for variety.

My sushi tester plate. Beware of that orange one, it was really spicy. I ate one because I was feeling brave but truth is, I popped it in my mouth, chewed fast then swallowed..so I will not savor the full impact of the heat. So I guess, I cheated. Haha!

Nice! And so good!

Our complimentary drink,  hot Twinings tea. Aids in the digestion of all the glorious food we ate. 

I thought I saw wrong but I was right.. actress Donita Rose was the one who prepared some of the sushi.  I guess she was there for training. She was given positive encouragement by her colleagues. She was so intent in what she was doing and the result was out there. We liked how she made the them. 

Some more of the cold salads in seafood variants. I loved these all! Had several helpings. I wish I knew the names though. 

That's the US Rib Eye steak, a beef dish, mashed potato and fish snapper in a cream-based sauce. I liked the steak and the fish. 

Our choice.. Vongole pasta

My dessert plate. Just this. I was too full already. 

Pistachio and melon flavored ice cream. I just had a spoonful, that's it. It was good though, I was just full to the brim. 

Some refreshing fruits, of course.

The two happy diners. 

I liked the ambiance here in Seven Corners. People were not rushing at the buffet queue. They were taking their sweet time like what we are doing. Pacing is the key to a better appreciation of this foodie experience.

The only downside, liked what I have mentioned above, is the lack of name tags on the dishes so I was not aware of what I was eating. It was a good thing, I found the food a pleasure to the taste.

Overall rating, I would like to go back here again. Hopefully, in the early part of 2013.
