Breakfast buffet at Café Ilang-Ilang

Part of our Manila Hotel staycation included a breakfast buffet for 2 at Café Ilang-Ilang. It was my first time to eat here so I was excited (and hungry too!). :p

Sabe was with us but thank goodness he's free pa :)

Different seating areas in the resto:

According to the Manila Hotel website, "The new Café Ilang-Ilang is a renaissance of chic casual dining which brings together a vast array of cuisines from across all continents. Designed artfully to satisfy the distinguishing palate, the spacious restaurant features an extensive selection of buffet delights with a fresh spin on its various open kitchens and a delectable desserts space that highlights its tradition of unique and excellent dining. Its eight live cooking stations offer Asian, Mediterranean, European, and Western dishes. Café Ilang-Ilang also has a stunning open Pan-Asian kitchen, Churrasco station, decadent dessert station, and an Italian kitchen with a wood fired pizza oven for a truly unique gastronomic adventure. A la carte dishes are also available."

Since this was breakfast, I felt there wasn't as much dishes compared to a lunch or dinner buffet. But the food was still good. Here's a look:

pastries

bread

yoghurt

salad

cold cuts

congee and toppings

Chinese

Korean

freshly made meat loaf!

mixed vegetables, chicken adobo, bangus

pork longganisa, beef tapa

french toast, pancakes, waffles, ham, bacon, sausage

open cooking station

juice

It was a good breakfast, but I'd definitely want to try the lunch or dinner next time.

And here's a promo sign I noticed at the entrance for Senior Citizens during Saturdays and Sundays. Might be nice to bring your parents or grandparents sometime. :)
