Overindulgence

It’s more than a week already since we had our trip in Caylabne Bay. I must say, I really enjoyed our trip there. There were a lot of activities, pleasant view of the mountains and sea, the nice ambience and of course the food…. (only shows I’m a food addict, who’s not anyway?)
Before arriving in caylabne bay, we were already informed that we are going to have buffet meals. 2 buffet lunches, 1 buffet dinner, 1 buffet breakfast and 2 snacks. Sad to say, we weren’t able to avail our snacks which is very bad for the resort in terms of meeting customer’s expectations. As far as I’m concern, in this industry, you must not only meet the expectations you settled with your customers but as much as possible, exceed it.

Me? On diet? No way! =)

I was very optimistic with the food, I’m thinking of crabs, shrimps and all the mouthwatering sea foods. However, we only had crabs in our lunch on the first day. But, that’s okay since there are other dishes but most of these are beef and pork. They only have one dish of fish on every meal. Too bad for those who are in diet (good thing I’m not one of them). But anyway, I really appreciated that they prepared a complete course of food for us, from the soup/chowder, salad, main dish till the dessert. I just hope that we also had juice or any other beverage except for the water and coffee.

I also remembered that we always have a potato dish every time we have our meal; either fried potato, mashed potato or sliced potato with white sauce. They also never run out of watermelon, pineapple and papaya. That’s why it made me think that the resort has its own plantation of those fruits and crops.

Empty plates. Full tummies.

On our second day, I noticed that the foods they are serving are usually Filipino dishes which really match the structure of the restaurant which has a tropical theme. However, I think it could have been better if they only have one theme for the complex, if they want the resort to be a tropical resort, then everything must be tropical, if they want a European styled resort, everything must be European. The problem is the restaurant is very Filipino but the hotel suites are very Mediterranean. Contradicting, right?

But anyway, enough for my criticisms, I have to say goodbye for now. It’s already 9 o’clock and I still have to study for our quiz tomorrow in tour 182. Ow! I’m just hoping that the exam is EASY. =)
