We went there on a weekday to celebrate my BIL's birthday. We have a table reserved for our group of 16. We were a big group so our table was long and on the side. It was a long walk to the buffet set up but I don't mind. 

unlimited fresh juice, coffee and tea

This is just our first two drinks lol Kiwi is good but the watermelon is too sweet. After the first glass, I requested that no syrup will be added on my second glass of watermelon ; p

As with all SM parking lot, there's a fee upon entering. Be sure to have a reservation or you will waste your parking money because the place is almost always full.

While waiting for the others to arrive, together with my BIL's kids, we went to experience MOA eye for the first time. 

steak and more steak!

Buffet 101 offers New Zealand lamb chops, US Angus beef, barbecued chicken and pork.

chili pork ribs, anyone?

seafood extravaganza

 You must remember your table number because these seafood are cooked upon order. A waiter will serve your order on your table.

tempura

dessert station

Crepe, ice cream, halo-halo and cakes are included on the dessert station. 

fresh juice drink station

No syrup on my juice, please!

What's on my plate:

clockwise from left- marshmallow with chocolate syrup, lechon kawali, chicken wrapped peking duck style, tempura and salad

No peking duck available... waaaah! There are plenty of salad dressing available like kiwi, strawberry, mango and Italian herb among others.

tamago, california maki, ebi sushi, tempura maki and tempura 

US Angus steak

Not all the steaks that we ordered are marbled. Some are a bit chewy. Lamb is not that good. They don't have mint sauce and the mushroom gravy that accompanies the steak is not even palatable.

strawberry cheesecake

brazo de mercedes, crepe, ice cream and caramel cake from Red Ribbon

The crepe's filling is fruit cocktail, I hope they can make mango and or peaches available soon. Some of the cakes where from Red Ribbon lol

The interior is classy. The waiters are attentive. Parking is not a problem.

Overall, If I have a Sofitel/ Shangri-la card, I would prefer to dine there instead. The price is not exactly cheap.
