The long interactive kitchen at Seasonal Tastes features barrels of succulent seafood on ice including crabs and shrimps...
...and a variety of shellfish like plump mussels, razor clams and clams.
At the Fresh Seafood Station, you can enjoy your fresh catch just the way you like it, simply poached with a variety of dipping sauces....

Poached, grilled, baked or sautéed in a sauce of your choice, the Seafood Buffet Dinner at Seasonal Tastes is a seafood lover's dream come true.
Load your plate with a generous helping of seafood of your choice and the station chefs will transform your catch, lightly sautéed in garlic and butter...
...or my pick at the Seafood Dinner Buffet, the nutty and mildly spicy Chili Garlic. The fresh and clean briny sweetness of the succulent seafood still comes through with an added layer of flavor from the garlic and soothing gentle heat from the chilies for the perfect start to your Seafood Buffet Dinner at Seasonal Tastes.
Don't forget to stop by the Cheese and & Charcuterie Station with its selection of cold cuts, cured meats and gourmet cheeses. That evening, Mushroom Soup was also served at the station.
Then, indulge in a wide variety of sumptuous seafood offerings like the Baked Emperor Fish with a side of roasted vegetables...
...along with the traditional Seafood Paella. A fresh squeeze of lemon brings out even more flavors, and that's just round two of your all-out seafood feast at Seasonal Tastes.
The offerings may change based on the menu cycles, but this should give you an idea of the extensive buffet spread at Seasonal Tastes. Ready for the next round?
That evening at Seasonal Tastes, other savory seafood dishes were served including the Herb Crusted Salmon on Sundried Tomato Cream...

In between bites and endless rounds at the buffet, enjoy crisp and garden-fresh greens at the Salad Station...
...with micro greens from The Westin Manila's own gardens. And it just doesn't get any fresher than that.
Fresh from the kitchen, Executive Chef Rej Casanova then shared some of the culinary specialties of Seasonal Tastes including Baked Mussels topped with cheese, creamy Tuna Tartare and crisp Prawn Salad.

The bamboo steamers loaded with savory bites at the Dim Sum Station is another tempting option at Seasonal Tastes. The wide selection of steamed dumplings, sauces and condiments adds to your tasty options at the Seafood Buffet Dinner.
The fresh seafood selection is just one part of the Seafood Buffet Dinner experience at Seasonal Tastes. At the Carving Station, the Slow Roasted US Beef Short Plate is just too good to pass up, so pick up another plate.
Fork-tender and juicy, each bite delivers a flavorful burst of savory beefy richness, perfectly paired with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables with just a drizzle of red wine gravy.
The succulent seafood selection is complemented by an array of savory mains like the Buttermilk Fried Chicken...
...and Moroccan Beef Stew with chunks of beef simmered in a rich sauce infused with a bold and complex blend of spices.
And there's more. The Spiced Tomato and Pork Casserole is a hearty and comforting dish with the savory richness of juicy pork tempered by the tart notes of tomatoes...
...while familiar local flavors with the Fried Chicken Inasal with its rich annatto-based seasoning will have you going for another bowl of extra rice.
Still hungry? A generous heaping serving of Beef Kaldereta fixes that. One last round to the extensive buffet spread ties up all the loose ends with one more plate for the road.
