What sets Tim apart from some other food presenters is that he is very polite and respectful to all the restaurant staff; most of the time even addressing them by their first name, which I find very refreshing 😊😘

[@cookyrae5397]

That’s exactly the reason why I always watch his vlogs. He wears the same smile and politeness to all the servers and hostesses. Such a well mannered and pleasant guy!

[@janvdb9258]

Wiens is the same way.. he is just a bit over the top though. Tim is chill

I watch Tim Lee for the first time and I really enjoy his easy going and slowly enjoying all the dishes. It's a marked difference between Tim and Mark Wiens. Every first word out of Mark's mouth was "WOW", no matter what he stuff into it. I am heading to Manila in Jan 19, 2023 and staying for five days. We are staying at the Okada which also has a great buffet. There are three buffet we intended to try. Okada, Spiral Cafe at the Sofitel, and now the Solaire buffet is a must after seeing this episode. Good Job. Thanks.

Lots of great food in Manila, by the looks of it. I don't think there's such a thing as too much seafood, including lobster. Cheers, Tim and God Bless! ✌️🇨🇦

[@minlui2752]

You are correct, there isn’t such a thing as too much lobsters and other seafood!!!!

100% no such thing as too much lobster! I may only save a bit o room for 🍨 dessert.

[@minlui2752]

@@greatwhitenorth3717 You should read the comments from Landro Domingo, and the 5 replies with comments about how bad too much lobsters and eating is!!!!! Even though we say there is no such a thing as too much lobsters, but in reality we don’t eat that much lobsters or other gourmet foods!!!!!! Unfortunately, people eat pizza, French fries, fried chicken, potato chips and all kinds of unhealthy foods all the time on a regular basis for breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner!!!!!!!

[@Luna.3.3.3]

I love food, but my stomach doesn't have that much real estate. I take my hat off to those who can eat as much as Tim without becoming obese! lol. I have a few rules when I go to any buffet: 1 - Walk the ENTIRE buffet before taking anything. Then you know what to bypass. Or say there's fish, but you see one better down the line 2- (for me) NO fillers. No soup, no starches (potatoes, rice, bread, pasta) 3 - Fill up on 'expensive' things. If there's seafood, that's ALL I'm eating (maybe a few token broccoli spears) 4- Like Tim, take the smallest of a portion. Taste to make sure you like it and go back for more. My family used to have a restaurant and we were the first ones around our rural area in Ontario to have a Sunday buffet. At the time, I was a kid and I had to do the dishes. I'll never forget the disgusting amount of waste. People taking big scoops of potatoes and barely touching it. Having 2 slices of beef and barely eating half of one.

[@valnarehood834]

Wow! Oh my goodness! Tim, you were giddy! Me too, but lucky I got to enjoy vicariously. The only trouble with table service is you can't control the portion size. I would want to taste every single thing you did, and I wouldn't dare let anything so wonderful go to waste, but I would be so full so fast! Now I know that if I can ever go there someday, I will fast for a day or two in advance! Thank you for another wonderful video! Cheers!

I am here in Canada...where is that restaurant in the Philippines ?.... I have never been there yet. It looks more different from other buffet restaurants.

[@IGetYourPoint]

Hello Tim, I just came back from Philippines yesterday (27/1/2023), and I went to the buffet on 26/1/2023 after watching your video. Sadly, I didn't find the food to be amazing, especially the lobsters. They now only serve lobsters at the Seafood station, and it wasn't that fresh or cooked well to say the least... just a very basic steam-baked lobster drenched in some kind of asian style oyster sauce? The meat was dry, a bit tough and quite bland. I asked the waiters if they have other options, and only 6 were available when I was there: 1. steamed lobster (plain), 2. grilled lobster (plain), 3. some butter sauce lobster, 4. cheese baked 5. thermidor baked lobster... 6. Tempura (I ordered this as well, but they forget to serve us multiple times... so at the end we didn't end up trying it) Pasta, chowder, and 90% of what you shown on the menu is no longer available. Unfortunately, I only liked the beef brisket and the raw salmon sashimi. The Korean station food was mediocre and I would avoid it IF I were to go back again. And to be frank, I wouldn't consider coming back again. It's sad how quality in the F&B industry is so unpredictable and can really be a huge hit or miss sometimes... I hope that the experience for others would be much better than mine.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply! As hard as I try to keep things objective, it's always a little bit difficult to present a normal dining experience as hard as I try. I think once they see the camera, invariably there is a bit more attention given. However, when I was there, they did deliver the food to your table and you can order from your table as well. Mind you the server and host were always very attentive 😉

[@zenyhuelgas8128]
