Overrated

been hearing good stuff bout this buffet at Sofitel Hotel called Spiral restaurant. i had the chance to try it with my colleagues and we all concluded that it is overrated. yes, true that they have wide variety of choices, from Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean fusion, Indian, and Filipino. The feast has foie gras station, noodle station, pasta station, grilled, and any other choose-and-we-cook type of thing. but one thing it fell short of is the cornerstone of every great food >> flavor. I didn't taste any dish with a bold, strong one. being a traveller, the wide-array of choices did not match the buffet from Hotel Mulia in Jakarta, Shangri-la Singapore, and even its closest rival here in Manila, Circles at Shang. but i had a blast with their unique Gelato Teppan dessert, which I will post separately.
