Wazzup Pilipinas!
There's an all-new, chic dining outlet in the heart of the BGC business and commercial district that offers a wide range of authentic local and international dishes.
I was joined by part of my team to partake the buffet spread of the newly improved version of their once smaller main dining for guests. From a previous 50-seater to a 250-seater, Misto buffet restaurant of Seda BGC has undoubtedly been transformed to serve their guests better.
My first dish that night was their huge shrimps/prawns among the seafoid choices together with the squid and seafood kebab. This choice puts my usual favorite of shrimp tempura at the side for the meantime because naturally, I would settle for the real stuff rather than tempura coating or breading.
They have, of course, slabs of enormous meat on the carving table that is fit for a kingly appetite. You'll also never go wrong with lamb or beef.
Then there's pizza made fresh before your eyes, and cooked in an oven right at where you can witness them done the natural way.
Delish sweet desserts are plenty, making the end treats just as special as how starter dishes made the night begin with sumptious offerings plus also several choices for salads.
You can't imagine how thrilled we are getting the opportunity to be among the firsts to try out the festive feasts at Misto.
For more details, below is the official press release given at the mefia launch:
Premium beef cuts and fresh prawns grilled to perfection, Napoletana pizza with an extra thin, airy crust made from genuine caputo flour, and Indian dishes from the tandoori oven are some of the offerings at Seda BGC’s daily buffet at its expanded and all-new Misto restaurant -- now with a show kitchen and interactive food stations in a bigger and better space at the hotel’s expansion tower.
