Buffet restaurants in Manila have mushroomed everywhere trying to win the stomach of certified food buffs who has a little more to spend than the usual. These kinds of people are not the ordinary diners who find a place to fill their hungriness but they are the ones who are looking for a more extravagant and sumptuous dining experience. This is a tough challenge to every buffet restaurants in the metro that should be taken seriously and be the top priority to attract then eating at their own plates.
Speaking of , I am once again updating my personally recommended list of buffet restaurants in Metro Manila. I am adding The Food Club Manila, Your Lifestyle Buffet located along Blue Bay Walk, Macapagal Ave., Pasay. I braved almost an hour traffic to reach just in time to join their first year celebration as they host an exclusive bloggers and media dinner buffet few days ago.
I arrived around 6PM but the sky is still clear so I had the chance to take a photo of its front facade. Looking from outside, The Food Club Manila projects a very cozy and classy environment from a distance. Of all the restaurants that serve buffets in Manila, The Food Club is one of those that is much spacious compared to the rest. This kind of dining place is always crowded so a bigger environment is really a must. I also appreciate the fact The Food Club really made efforts to maintain the privacy still through its different table and chair arrangements. From intimate dining experience of a couple to a big group of family and friends, everyone has a spot.

With so many to choose from, as much as I want to I cannot taste everything. I feasted on a almost a dozen of makis and sushis because I am half-full when I arrived in the restaurant. They serve it just the way I want it from my favorite authentic Japanese restaurants.
I cannot remember what exactly I put on my first plate but it was a few slices of super thin pizza and a seafood pasta. Then I loaded myself with more plates of fresh slices of fruits to help me quickly digest everything I ate.

Of course how can I resist these mouth-watering and tempting desserts?
By the way please be reminded of their No Left Over, No Take Out Policy. You should really make sure to eat all you put in your place because a fee of a thousand pesos plus will be charged in case you left your plate unfinished. Isn't it not too much to follow eh?
I also find the staff very accommodating even though they all are very busy for the big crowd they make sure to smile whenever they pass and really pays attention if you have a question to throw to them.
