I am a tongue traveler. Welcome to my world of simple joys. I love to eat. I am neither a chef nor a food technologist. I am no expert in food rhetoric. And I am definitely not one to come to for nutrition tips. I have gone to different places in Asia and explored different restaurants, mostly local or localized. Allow me to share some profound thoughts or shallow observations on places I have eaten in. Hand me the fork and the knife please...and the chopsticks as well.

Mary Had a Little Lamb, a Little Salmon...and a Little of Everything
I do not blame Mary. Who can resist a buffet table consisting of Grilled Lamb Spareribs, Salmon Carpaccio, Mango Tapioca, and so much more? Add to that a tiny corner for freshly cooked pasta with a sauce of your own choice: pesto, pomodoro, and carbonara. And of course, the wine!
Chef's Quarter, located at the 3rd level of SM Megamall Atrium, is definitely Mary's own palace of hidden wealth: a luxury of Western-infused dishes. Her own version of Open Sesame: dialing (63 2) 706-5336 for reservations.
The lamb spareribs are baked to perfection, with just enough tasteful grease to match the delectable meat. The Salmon Carpaccio is a must-try, with capers that add a sour note to the Salmon in a way that's very light and delightful. And the Mango tapioca - unforgettable! There are real sliced Mangoes with soft gel-like tapioca covered with a light syrup.
In one sitting, Mary can devour all the go, grow, and glow foods she can ever need! If she were only a man with a fiery temper, she would evolve into the Incredible Hulk in less than a minute. Or if she were a robot, she would be the tallest among the Transformers.
There is something about Mary - an innate desire to enjoy a feast ever so discreetly, with frequent visits to the buffet table using tiny plates, sashaying in her above-the-knee dress fitting her figure. One would wonder - where does all that food go?
And the question in one's mind really is...why is she not fat?
Here is a multiple choice.
1. Xenical.
2. Marie France.
3. Dr. Vicky Belo.
4. Lesofat.
5. Slimfast.
6. Herbalife.
7. Fitness First.
8. Slimmers World.
9. Post-Buffet Starvation Program
10. Walk.
Whatever she uses or does prior to, during, or after feasting on a mouth-watering buffet like the one in Chef's Quarter, nobody knows for sure.
One thing is certain - Mary has had and will continue to have a little of everything.
At wherelse but...Chef's Quarter.
