Buffet Bliss: Exploring and Comparing the Finest Hotel Buffets in Metro Manila Featuring Medley Buffet in Okada

 

Picture this: You step into the Medley Buffet at OKADA, greeted by an expansive array of dishes that promises a journey across global cuisines. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a hint of elegance that sets the tone for a memorable dining experience.

 

From freshly rolled sushi to savory roasted meats, every corner of the buffet is masterfully designed to offer a diverse range of flavors that cater to all tastes. Just when you think you’ve explored it all, you step into a cheese lover's dream—a room brimming with a delightful variety of cheeses: creamy, aged, sharp, and everything in between. This, my friends, is one of the many reasons OKADA holds a special place in my heart as a favorite buffet destination. They say, "To each their own," but for a cheese enthusiast like me, OKADA sits proudly at the top of my list.

 

Food Variety and Quality:

Medley Buffet offers a wide selection of dishes, featuring international cuisines like Japanese, Chinese, and Italian, alongside beloved local Filipino favorites. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d rate the food quality an 8, .5 with the fresh seafood and the impressive dessert spread standing out as highlights of the dining experience.

 

Service:

The staff are  generally friendly and attentive. I feel that there’s room for improvement in terms of efficiency, especially during busy hours.

 

Ambiance:

The ambiance is luxurious and inviting, with a clean and well-decorated setting. It reminds me of being back in Las Vegas, where hotels are often paired with the lively buzz of casinos.

 

Value for Money:

To be honest, if not for the 50% discount offered through my BPI Signature Card, I might have hesitated to try the Medley Buffet. Considering OKADA’s distance from my home and the steep price of over Php3,000, it wasn’t an easy decision. However, the experience may very well justify the cost, thanks to the impressive variety and quality of the food.

1st blog Rediscovering Beth:   From Legal Notes to Baker's and Traveler's Notes   About Me Hello and welcome! My name is Carlyn, but most people know me as Beth—a paralegal, online English instructor, corporate secretary, and passionate baker. Life has taken me through winding roads, and I’ve emerged not only as a breast cancer survivor, but also as a woman embracing change, purpose, and creativity. Today, I step into a new role: a budding blogger. Creating this blog is my way of sharing my story and connecting with others who are navigating their own turning points. It’s a space where I reflect, encourage, and grow—alongside you. 🌿 My Journey Life hasn’t always been easy. My civil annulment in 2018 and church annulment in 2021 were two of the most challenging—and ultimately liberating—experiences of my life. Those years taught me the power of self-reinvention, and they led me back to the things that bring me peace and purpose. In rediscovering who I am, I’ve fou...

2nd blog From Vows to Verdict:  A Walk Through the Civil Annulment Process It all started on a fateful day in October 2000, when I walked down the aisle with dreams of a blissful future. But life, in its unpredictable ways, had other plans. Out of respect for my ex-husband, who cannot respond to this blog, I won’t delve into the specific reasons behind my decision to file for annulment. Despite the heartaches and tears, I refuse to see those 18 years as wasted. Every trial was a test of faith, courage, perseverance, and self-love. Over time, I gathered the fragments of my shattered dreams and carved out a new direction. All is not lost; I have emerged stronger—and ready to begin again. Right after our marriage, my relationship with my husband became turbulent and rocky. Almost every day, we found ourselves embroiled in arguments. If my memory serves me right, it wasn't until 2016—sixteen years after our wedding—that I finally decided to file for civil annulment. For the longest tim...

My 17th blog: A Whisk and a Wish: My Journey in a TESDA-accredited Baking Class After the Holy Week, I decided to take a short break from blogging to embark on a new adventure—a TESDA-accredited baking class. Looking back, I can confidently say it was worth every moment. Why, you ask? They say you can’t have your cake and eat it too, but this experience proved otherwise. It’s a win-win—I’m picking up invaluable tricks from our outstanding chef, Ms. Gee, to refine my baking skills, all without spending a single cent (or perhaps just a minimal amount). What’s not to love?  As someone who thrives in solitary pursuits, I initially approached this baking class as a practical stepping stone—a straightforward opportunity to learn, grow, and master the art of baking, all while minimizing the need for interaction. Working closely with others was not something I anticipated with enthusiasm, especially given my tendency to struggle under close supervision. Yet, as the days passed, this class ...
