Buffet 101 (MOA) - Pasay City

SM Mall of Asia is home to numerous buffet restaurants, some of which I have tried and blogged already. What's good about having several of these eat-all-you-can restaurants in one area is the stiff competition. Each of these restaurants has its own unique way of telling the potential customers "Hey dine here, 'cause we're the best!" Since I have individual blog articles for the other buffet restaurants in the area, the spotlight for today is focused only on Buffet 101.

Facade of Buffet 101

Found in the far-end corner of SM by the Bay area near the Ferris Wheel, Buffet 101 has the privilege of having extra parking lots compared to the restaurants located in the midsection of SM by the Bay. 

There is nothing unique nor outstanding with the facade of Buffet 101. Worse can be said of the rear area facing the bay. One ironic thing that I have observed though is the "Pirate" theme park attraction beside the restaurant. People who grew up visiting the nearby Star City would be reminded of the name of the similar theme park ride which ironically is named like the buffet restaurant in the other end of the SM by the Bay area. (Talk about subtle advertising in the face of a competitor.) 

Please take a seat.

What Buffet 101 lacks in exterior design and style, is supplemented with its appealing interior design and the quality of its food. Speaking of food, the restaurant offers a wide array of dishes that are competitively pegged to match or defeat those offered by the other buffet restaurants.

Here are most of the dishes that I have seen and tried out during our food trip to Buffet 101:

Why visit Buffet 101?

Overall, I am highly satisfied with my dining experience in Buffet 101. I managed to try and taste almost all its dishes and I also have a list of favorites that I would like to eat again someday (hopefully soon). I highly recommend this place if you have the budget and appetite

I celebrated my birthday here last 2015
Just a piece of advice though, have a reservation before going to Buffet 101, it's usually full especially during weekends and holidays (or just about every day). One more thing, if it's your birthday or birth month, don't forget to bring an ID or birth certificate along with 3 of your pals because your dining is free (and your pals are not).
