Animusdrifterer: Buffet-style: Which is better?

There's a lot of restaurant here in the Philippines that offers buffet-style of eating. Some have more than 100 dishes to offer, but which factor will you consider most: the one who have a lot of dishes to offer or the one who can provide you the quality of that night?

For my 24 years of existence, this is the first time I heard two big restaurants that rival consumers in terms of its services (or maybe this is the first time I compared the services of restaurants). I had the chance to eat to a buffet-style dining but not this type of services.

For the two restaurants, i'll show you the pro's and con's of these two for you to compare:

One of the restaurants I've been is, Vikings in Mall of Asia, Philippines.
This restaurant is situated in the right-most corner of Mall of Asia, over-looking the Manila bay and facing the BPO buildings in MOA. We celebrated the birthday of Darah and Tristan (hubby) last November 3,2012. Vikings offers 100 dishes in total. whoa! I bet you need to skip meals a day before you go, yeah?! The ambiance was so cozy, with sexy servants and you can see there's a lot of people waiting outside to have their chance for a table.

Here are few shots of Vikings:

However, we also tried to eat at Buffet 101 on the other side of MOA to celebrate Jordan's birthday (hubby's brother). It's the 5-star hotel atmosphere that caught my eyes the most. The place is so clean, the waitress knows the table specifically for you, it's very nice place. I love to eat here.. It's so romantic and lovely!
