It was difficult to try everything in the crossover sections and leave room for their Indian, Italian and carving station offers.</p><p>Their signature Lechon and slow-roasted Aberdeen Angus Beef Shoulder with Yorkshire Pudding are must-tries. With wine, cocktails, sodas, and non-alcoholic drinks included, this culinary of The Pantry is worth crossing over Metro Manila traffic for an evening of great food.</p><p>&quot;Buffet Fusion: A Culinary Crossover&quot; is now a permanent addition to the Friday and Saturday dinner buffet of The Pantry, Dusit Thani Manila and is priced at P2,500++. For reservations, please contact Restaurant Reservations at 7238-8888.</p><p>For BPI cardholders, they are running a 50% off promo (minimum of two persons and maximum of four persons) for the whole of October.</p>
