Under The Tuscan Sun

Sambo Kojin

Nothing excites a foodie better than hearing the word "buffet", or for the usual Pinoy, "Eat-all-you-can".  Well you can't blame them.  Who does not want to eat as much as he can for a fixed price with a wide variety of dishes (sometimes even cuisines) to choose from?  If you have a big appetite or if you enjoy eating a little of everything, then a buffet is your best friend.
