In this video, I went to Cebu, Philippines and tried three different buffet restaurants with different prices. They were all similarly themed international buffet, but their offerings were quite different. I have to say, I was happy with every one of them.

    For the price range of these buffets, the reason their price is so high so as compared to the quality is because they mostly focus more on quantity rather than quality. mas mabilis maenganyo ang pinoy sa dami kesa sa quality, realtalk.

    Hi Jimmy, the Purple dessert soup is called "Binignit". The famous Cebuano dish is traditionally made with glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk with various slices of sabá bananas, taro, ube, jack fruit, and sweet potato, among other ingredients. Also, the dish is traditionally served during Good Friday of Holy Week. Some places in the Philippines have their own version of this dish as well.

    8:03 that purple dessert is called binignit in cebuano, in tagalog we call it ginatan or bilobilo. The puple color came from purple yam or ube, it has glutinous rice balls, banana saba, sweet potato, jackfruit, tapioca pearls, taro and cassava cooked in a sweetened coconut milk. There is a white version of it without the purple yam. It’s my favorite filipino dessert. This dessert is always available in Hyehwa-dong Seoul at the Philippine Sunday Market so whenever I crave for Filipino foods I just go there on Sunday.

    Hello Jimmy, my in laws for Thanksgiving serve turkey and ham and I go for the ham everytime. They even make ham gravy in addition to turkey gravy where the ham gravy is a bit saltier and I think it tastes better too. I wish we had those kind of buffets in America because then they would be worth it. Most buffets if I can even find one near me are 15-20 something dollars and they serve like 10 main entress and a couple of desserts-so not worth it.

Also, I prefer the buffet in Nustar than in Marco Polo but it's probably just recency bias since I love both.
