Sunday Family Brunch at Impressions French Buffet Restaurant.
 |
| Happy Birthday Tita Gigi! |
I was invited once again by Mike's family for the birthday celebration of Tita Gigi. This time it was a Sunday Buffet Brunch at Impressions French Restaurant in Maxims Hotel, Resorts World Manila.
 |
| Impressions |
Impressions is a French Fine Dining Restaurant which offers a good selection of Salad, Seafood, Foie Gras and Prime Meat cooked in a live show kitchen which is headed by Celebrity Chef Cyrille Soenen from France. During Sundays they offer Buffet Brunch for foodies to savor on as many French gourmet offerings as they want.

It was my first time here and Mike told me that Impressions had excellent reviews and so I was eager to find out why. Unlike other five star buffets, Impressions only has three parts: Hot Buffet Area, Cold Buffet Area & Patisserie.
Hot Buffet Area
Started off with a soup, a choice of Lobster Bisque & French Onion Soup with condiments of Croutons, Pesto, Parmesan Cheese, Bacon Bits, Spring Onions and Chili Flakes.

The live station is known for cooking the food upon order on their wide variety of dishes for as many as you want. So we ordered in advance before checking out other stations.
