This is my TOP #2 Favorite hotel Buffet ( #1 is Cafe Ilang Ilang). The salmon sashimi is undoubtedly fresh and was not left outside. The chef prepares the sashimi as you order. Crabs, roast beef, Indian Shrimp curry, Thai fish curry, cakes took the TOP spot.

Best ice cream I tasted - buko pandan and ube ice cream. Creamy but not overpowering, just enough sweetness. Authentic ube bits not just flavoring. I think I ate almost a pint. I make ice cream so I know what good quality ingredients are.

Best Tom Yum Goong by far compared to Mango Tree and Ja Tu Jak.

Albeit Som Tam lacks flavor from first harvest fish sauce, the Lapu lapu curry and Tom Yum gave layers of flavor from fresh herbs and spices. Thai tea is good, not too sweet, not bitter.

Hack: Separate curry sauce from Lapu-lapu fillets —- I don’t like curry sauce overpowering the taste of lapu lapu

You have to make a reservation. No walk-ins.

The beef Wellington in itself is delish, but I would have wanted a different sauce, maybe mushroom gravy. I ended up eating without the sauce. Lemon honey salad is recommended; it has candied pecans and blue cheese. Didn’t order Caesar Salad due to bad reviews. Grilled salmon was cooked to perfection and has lemony-buttery flavor. Toffee pudding is highly recommended for sweet endings.

5-star service! The staff were trained for months even before the opening.

The music was just not appropriate for the venue.

Price is similar to 5-star hotels!

Caution on Fasting:

Water fasting, where a person consumes only water for an extended period (such as 3 to 5 days), is being studied for its potential health benefits, including possible stimulation of stem cell production and overall body regeneration.

1. Stem Cell Regeneration:
- Immune System Regeneration: Some studies suggest that prolonged fasting may help stimulate the regeneration of immune cells. Fasting causes the body to break down damaged cells and recycle components, potentially activating stem cells to regenerate the immune system by producing new white blood cells.

2. Autophagy and Cellular Repair:
- During fasting, the body may enter a state called autophagy, where it breaks down and removes damaged cells. This process can aid in cellular rejuvenation and has been associated with reducing the risk of conditions like cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

3. Chronic Diseases:
- Fasting may have benefits for managing certain chronic conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Some animal studies have shown promising results, but more human clinical trials are needed to validate these findings.

Risks and Caution:
- Health Risks: Water fasting can be risky for some people, especially those with pre-existing health conditions like diabetes or heart disease. It can lead to dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, and electrolyte imbalances.
- Medical Supervision: It is important to undergo extended water fasting under the supervision of a healthcare professional to minimize potential risks.

Conclusion:
While water fasting has shown potential for health benefits, including possible immune system regeneration, more research is required to fully understand the long-term effects and safety of this practice in humans. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential before attempting prolonged water fasting.
