Circles: Seafood Weekend and More at Makati Shangri-la
Ahhh... Buffets! Whether there be a special occasion, or just maybe one of those days when that intense craving kicks in, there are always buffets to save the day. And while I'm not much into blogging about buffets (It's tedious, I tell you!), I have to confess that I love indulging in tons of food from time to time. And more so when it's Makati Shangri-la's Circles Event Cafe we're talking about.
![Plates - Sashimi and Nigiri Sushi](http://i67.tinypic.com/s3isqs.jpg)
And while Circles has always been a favorite of mine, and many people's, here it is again giving us more reasons to love the already beloved as it introduces its new themed dinner buffet. Come Full Circle at Makati Shangri-la's Circles as it offers a 360° dining experience "Seven Nights, One Craving at a Time". Yup, you've probably guessed it right! Circles' new promotion promises different themes for every night.

Every night, Circles will bring-forth new dishes under a certain theme -- Wholesome Market on Mondays, Butcher's Market on Tuesdays, Spice Market on Wednesdays, Farmer's Market on Thursdays, Seafood Market on Fridays and Saturdays, and Grand Central Market on Sundays, along with its usual smorgasbord of buffet favorites.
And speaking of favorites, it's no secret that I love seafood despite my eczema. And fortunately, we went to Circles on a Saturday during their Seafood Market Weekend when they were offering their freshest catch of fish, prawns, crabs, scallops, oysters, lobsters and more seafood goodness.

It's been a while since the last time I indulged in this many seafood, and I'm sure glad I got to do it at Circles. And while I normally abstain for quite a while before returning to buffets, I don't think I'll have the mind of steel to do so this time. 'Cause hey, they got different themes and selection per day. It's like going to a different buffet every night for dinner!
But whichever day you choose to visit, I'm sure there's something to fit your liking at Circles.
