For the mains, the buffet spread at Latitude included a Vegetarian Chopsuey (L) and a rich and hearty Lengua Estofado (R), a traditional Spanish stew made with beef tongue, mushrooms and vegetables. The wide variety of dishes highlighted western, Asian and Filipino flavors...

...like the Baked Sole draped with creamy bechamel and topped with tomatoes and herbs with its distinct continental flavors (L) and Grilled Tanigue with garlic soy sauce (R) for a touch of Asian flavors, just some of the many seafood options at Latitude.

Other mains included the savory Asian-style Stir-Fry Pork with Vegetables (L) and Roasted Chicken Quarters (R). The wide variety of flavors and culinary styles offer infinite ways to satisfy any craving... 

...including this personal favorite, Latitude's Beef Rib Kare-Kare, tender beef in a richly flavored peanut based sauce slowly simmered with vegetables. That night, I had plans of skipping rice for dinner, until I saw this. Ditching the "no rice" plan was a no-brainer. Steamed white rice draped in the Kare-Kare's rich sauce, mounds of vegetables and tender beef ribs, and a side if bagoong...perfect.

And there's just so many sweet options to choose from, so it's best to go for small portions, like these bite-sized treats you can find further down the Desserts Station. Load up on even more indulgent treats like the Pistachio Pandan Mousse (L) and the moist Chocolate Fudge (R)...
