Havana

Cafe Havana was the narrow choice for an office lunch last week; the fact that it was in Greenbelt (near the office) had a big hand in the decision. Expectations were relatively high since good things had been heard about the place.

Food was good; moreso since this was a buffet lunch (in general one walks away from a buffet full but not sated). Choices were quite varied (literally, as the spread took inspiration from several cuisines; this was surprising since one would have expected food from the caribbean; it could be that the breadth of dishes from this area would not have a buffet made, at least a buffet that would sell). I liked the seafood chowder, the appetizers, and the carving, which a particularly crunchy lechon kawali (yum!).

Dessert was simple; a welcome break from the rich dishes which had preceded it. Fresh fruit (including those small, sweet pineapples, mango sago, and an ube cake which the hostess claimed was homemade (maybe but perhaps by the commissary of Red Ribbon).

At P400+, the tab is not unreasonable. Service is tolerable (my standards have dropped considerably; I am resigned with the lousy service in most restaurants).
