I used to be the one who loved holiday buffets at nice hotels, but I think that Peter is now hooked too. Our favorite go-to place is Asana, at the Mandarin Oriental in the Back Bay. We loved our experience there for the Thanksgiving Buffet back in Fall 2010 so much that we had just been itching for an excuse to go again.
Here are pics of the Asana Easter Brunch Buffet with our friend Mike ;)
**Oh btw, if you ever go to Asana or actually, any Mandarin Oriental buffet, you can always ask for a bowl of white rice. I've had that every time I've been to Asana!! I just love rice with everything, even my turkey!
Despite not being able to see Peter's face here, I kind of like this shot, it's like a "Petah Silhouette" hehe
Peter at the Smoothie Bar--yes, they make fresh fruit smoothies, any way you like it!
Butternut Squash Bisque--with creme fraiche!!
Raw Bar Selection--Oysters, Shrimp Cocktail and Lobster!
Italian Meats and Cheeses Selection--so yah, this is probably not the strongest point of the Asana buffet, but still yummy!
Dim Sum and Fruits--yes, isn't it so cool they have dumplings and shui mai here?
Peter at the carving station...
Whole Roasted Suckling Pig--yum yum, hello piggy!!
Asana Dessert Room (with Mike)--I've always found it pretty cool that the room is adjacent to the kitchen and the large windows allow you to look inside and see the chefs at work :)
Peter and me being silly ;)
My Dessert Plate Selection!!
Me--Dolce & Gabbana Green Satin Dress with Black Satin Belt, Valentino Couture Bow d'Orsay Pumps in Beige Patent, Bottega Veneta Woven Clutch in Curry Specchio (glazed goatskin)!
Bottega Veneta Woven Clutch in Curry Specchio (glazed goatskin)--love this bag and love that I got it on sale too!!!
(with Cartier Love Bracelets in YG and WG)
Valentino Couture Bow d'Orsay Pumps in Beige Patent--though it really looks more like a nude patent than beige I think...
And when we got home, this is what we found:
Bow Wow looking like he's mad at us and turning away from us...maybe he heard about all the yummy food we just ate at Asana and was upset we didn't bring home any leftovers!! hehe
Thanks K and P!! You guys are so sweet!!!

Comer bem não é só para quem pode mas tão somente para quem foi ensinado a comer só os alimentos suficientes para sobreviver.Comer moderadamente é ser Médico de si próprio.
