INTERNATIONAL BUFFET SPREAD

Hotel del Rio once again lived up to its tagline best cuisines and service, with its latest offering, the Friday International Buffet spread.

Warmly welcoming us were Hotel del Rio’s GM Eden Hecita-Momblan and the charming Edna Gepte. Well, Chef Soy Mariano and John Marie Chavez really outdid themselves with a long array of irresistible cuisines such as the roasted pork lechon paella, the seafood fish fillet and more choices in their Japanese and Mongolian stations. Not to mention the various desserts to choose from featuring international and local flavors!

Cheers!
