| - So, this was once Feast Buffet. I'm glad there's nothing that really changed though except for the name. As I've written in my Feast Review that I could no longer find, the best time to go is when they serve whatever food you like. There's seafood night which I'm not too concerned about since I'm allergic to shellfish, and then, there's Lechon Tuesday!
My buddy, Lawrence M was excited when I told him they have lechon. So, off we went! We weren't sure what time they close so, we felt bad when we got there 3 minutes before they close. We had a plan B in mind and were ready to march to a different place to eat but they allowed starving gym rats like us to go ahead and stuff our faces. It really pays to be polite and kind! The hostesses, our server and foo station attendants were nice eventhough we got there so late. So yeah, they close at 9pm.
Dinner for us was only about $12 with military discount on Veterans Day. Normally, it's about $12/person and you get a discount with a player's card. That's really cheap! I'll say this again, lechon can be expensive because not a lot of places have it. You have to be in-the-know where to get lechon and normally, you have to pre-order it and buy the whole pig for abput $200 depending on the size of the pig. Anthony Bourdain dubs this succulent pig with crispy skin THE BEST PIG he's ever had. So, even if you paid full price for the buffet, you definitely get your money's worth. Get this, they even have Mang Tomas lechon sauce.
They have the typical buffet fare such as prime rib, turkey, BBQ ribs, salads, pizza, pasta, potatoes, veggies, Chinese food, Mexican food, pies, cakes, cookies, ice cream, etc. Since we got there so late, the soft serve was liquid - but I didn't care, I just want the taste. The lady behind the counter kept telling me that it's liquid. But I like ice cream soup. The only thing was the coffee ice cream had ice particles. The other flavor I got was fine. The lady behind the ice cream and pie counter was sweet and funny.
Items on my plates:
Lechon - absolutely great! Skin was crispy - finding crispy skin requires great skill. 5/5
Chicken Fajitas - a bit dry. 2/5
Steamed BBQ Pork Buns - most buffet places that serve these are awful - too doughy, too dry. These were quite good for a buffet place. 4/5
Sesame Balls - they're tinier than the ones you'll find at Chinese restaurants but this isn't a Chinese restaurant. These have red bean inside. 4/5
Fried Plantains - I love fried bananas! Some bananas were soft, some were firmer. I pefer the softer ones as they tend to be sweeter. 4/5
Meatballs - these were pretty good. Either that or I was just very hungry after working out. They're not dry and they're quite tasty. 3.5/5
Prime Rib - juicy, medium-rare slice of beef. Mmmmm...3.5/5
Turkey - I was expecting a very dry piece of turkey because it's closing time and it probably has been sitting under a heating lamp forever. I was pleasantly surprised that it was juicy. 4/5
French Fries - I was so happy to see they have fries. I love fries! Warm, crispy fried potaoes. Add a little bit of salt and I'm happy. 4/5
Kielbasa - I've been good at avoiding cured meats lately but Lawrence gave me his sausage. Since it was already on my plate, I had to try it. Maybe, I'm not used to salt anymore but it was pretty salty. 3/5
