Portion Control
Yup, I’ve been doing a good job of watching what I eat and controlling my food portions and calorie intake. I only started last Monday and it looks like I finally got my mojo back. And not once did I ever consider taking Leptovox! I’m old school when it comes to losing weight. ;) You can only imagine how terribly hard it is to look at and write about food when I’m on a mission to lose weight and not want to have anything to do with food. Hee hee. But I love food, always have and always will. So on with the show. ![]()

Revisiting Seasons
Seasons is the premiere buffet restaurant of The Manila Pavilion Hotel. We had the chance to dine there in February last year a few days before Hubby left for the US. I wrote all about it HERE. However, I didn’t post photos within the entry. It’s been a while since we’ve had a decent buffet…buffet as we know it from back home. So join me as I torture myself with photos of what I look forward to having when we come home for a vacation…

Seasons doesn’t have a very extensive selection of fresh seafood. But as long as there are shrimps, I won’t really complain.

This is Oscar. :) He was in charge of all the cooking at the seafood station. He made us very yummy tempura and if I remember correctly, he also made me some shrimps in garlic and butter.

Kebabs overload! Oh why did I ever stop eating beef and pork?

Cookies and assorted chocolate goodies to tickle the kids’ tastebuds…and those of the kids at heart, too! ;) You bet I was tickled silly. Hee hee!

This is the part of any buffet spread which I will most likely skip so I can have room for the “dessert heavy weights”…heavy in sugar and heavy in calories.

The Halo-halo station. That time, I skipped this one, too.

This is Melvin. He made me my favorite buffet dessert of banana caramel crepe topped with vanilla ice cream. *sigh*
The next two photos are of terrible quality but I just wish to show you how dessert was so beautifully presented…

Isn’t that the prettiest flan ever?

And here are more uniquely plated desserts . I can no longer recall what these are exactly but I’m guessing sans rival, chocolate mousse and strawberry cheesecake.
By looking at these pics alone, I think I’ve gained a few pounds already! It looks like I’ll have to invite hubby to join me hit the treadmills at the gym tomorrow. *cross fingers*

PH #12: Self
Interesting theme for this week’s photo hunt…”Self”. :D I have a lot of photos of myself on this site so there’s no reason why I should be, er, shy about showing myself. Hee hee. I chose to post the very same pic found on my “About Page” :

This was taken at the Austin Museum of Art in October last year. I’ve featured this slice of bread in my edible art entry and I used the method behind decorating this slice of toast in last week’s photo hunt.
My other photo hunt entry is HERE. You can visit other photo hunters here.
Have a great weekend, y’all!
