After our 6 am morning swim, we packed our bags and headed down to the Heat. By the entrance they had a board with Breakfast Hourly Forecast for both Saturday and Sunday.
- 6 - 7 am: Light
- 7 - 8 am: Busy
- 8 - 11 am: Very Busy
Bread Station
Mini Pancakes, Waffles, French Toast
And an extensive selection of pastries
My Pastry Plate |
Cereal Station
They have all kinds of cereal selections: Corn Flakes, Cheerios, KoKo Crunch, Raisin Bran, Fiber One and my favorite Rice Krispies.
Yogurt Station
I'm a huge fan of yogurt and that is the reason why I enjoyed Sofitel's Yogurt Station. But unlike where the yogurt variants are flavored, here they have unsweetened yogurt where you can add toppings to bring in more flavors and this makes them healthier. They have Plain Muesli, Plain Yogurt and Flavored Muesli.
Honey and Preserved Fruits Selection |
My Plain Yogurt with Figs and Orange |
Cold Cuts Station
In addition to the usual breakfast staples, they have a lot more! They have Cold Cuts with my favorite Smoked Salmon, Salami, Bologna, Ham and condiments.
My Cold Cuts and Cheese Plate |
There are many like me who are fond of having Omelette for breakfast so I was quite glad that they have two stations for it. I ordered my Smoked Salmon and Capers Omelette from the chef right here.
Salad Station
I always try to have as much greens as I can.
My Salad Plate |
Sushi Station
They have an assortments of Sushi and Makis available. I'm told that only the Sashimi are not available for breakfast.
Our Maki Plate |
Salmon and Tuna Sushi |
Noodle Station
I just couldn't resist the Noodle Station.
There were so many toppings to choose from.
My Beef and Mushroom Ramen |
Congee Station
Plain Congee, Beef Congee and Champorado |
Dimsum Station
Mantao and Pork Siomai |
I was excited to see that they had Indian selections too like Idli and Sambar.
Indian Dosa |
My Indian Plate |
American Station
The American Station has the famous ham and bacon.
and a lot of other choices.
My American Plate |
The Filipino Station had Bibingka Latik, Suman Cassava, Maja Blanca, Sapin Sapin, Suman...
Bibingka |
Mini Taho Station |
Fruit Station
Beverage Station
Aside from specialty teas found in each station like the Tarik Tea in the Indian Station and the Salabat from the Filipino Station, they also have a beverage bar for Fruit Juice.
The Fruit Juice is not fresh. The Hot Chocolate tastes like Milo and not Tablea which I'd hope. Best choice for us was the ♥ Brewed Coffee.
There's also Hot Tea Selections and Nespresso which you could bring out because they have cups with covers. Shobe was so excited to bring a cup to our room. She is a coffee addict!
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Overall, this is one of the best breakfast buffets I've had. Heat's superb international cuisine breakfast buffet spread is tough to beat. We really felt that the room rate is worth it because of their breakfast buffet.
P.S. Thank you so much Shobe for treating me to for this food feast and staycation to de-stress. I hope someday I can be as disciplined and productive as you! ;) But, for now I'm just the biggest eater. =))
