A lot of my friends have been asking me for my suggestions to help them decide where to dine, buffet-style, this holiday season. Thus I have decided to write a post about some of the really good places where you can take your family for a nice Christmas lunch/dinner. Because I am budget-conscious, I will begin with the least expensive and work my way down to the most expensive.

Where will you on the 7th of December? Once again, time will stand still in the Philippines and in all Filipino communities worldwide as the Philippine’s biggest boxing champ Manny Pacquiao will face Golden Boy Oscar Dela Hoya in a non-title bout on the 7th of December. Where else should you be? None other but at the Manila Diamond Hotel where you can enjoy the fight LIVE while being serviced the best food and beers, all you can eat (or drink) for only P650.00 (US$13.00)!

The fight generated so much hype as boxing pundits have conflicting speculations. Some say Manny Pacquiao must have lost his marbles when he agreed to fight a larger, heavier Dela Hoya. Others say Manny Pacquiao’s youth and speed and will be a complete surprise to the older Dela Hoya, whose golden days might have gone past him.

Those who avail of the Diamond Seat will get a 15% discount on the buffets of Palm Court Cafe for great after-game talks.

Indeed, this is far from the usual fare that I feature in this website. Yours truly has decided to experience a little cultured dining and try the very food I like the least; cheese. In this case, it was raclette.

Birthday Buffet at Diamond Hotel

After last Friday’s bout with hypertension, Noreen was up and about the next day, August 9. Why? It’s her birthday and most of her anxiety came mostly from work stress. So I decided a Saturday lunch out would be a good way to celebrate. After being at the Cake Club launch, we decided to cross city limits and venture into Roxas Boulevard, where the Diamond Hotel sits facing the Manila Bay. It was a delightful surprise that we bumped into Executive Sous Chef Melchor Taylo. He was nice enough to indulge us in a short conversation, as well about some of the changes he was planning for the Palm Court Cafe buffet spread. He said it was going to be a themed change and next month was a surprise so watch out!
