My first
buffet in Taipei was at Jogoya where I was accompanied by my expat friends.
I was amazed with the variety of food displayed.
And then the following year,
another friend invited DH and I to another food fest and you guess it right,
it's in Jogoya once again! So year after year, every visit to Taipei is
not complete without a trip to Jogoya.
 |
| eating in Jogoya always makes DH happy |
People
used to literally wait in line to be seated. Upon assigning a table,
you will be given a notice that there is a two-hour
period inside the buffet area.
Things have recently changed. We
were not given the two-hour time frame anymore. After we paid, yes you
pay first before getting inside, we were ushered to our table. No long lines now. The three metal clips
are used for placement of cook-as-you-order food like fish and steak.

| shabu shabu |
 |
| maki at the Japanese section |
 |
| fish head |
Now, you should know that this is DH's order and not mine! yikes!
 |
| soft shell crab |
My favorite!!! I can't stop eating this...
 |
| minced pork on left; humba on right |
I wonder why DH got these two. I can easily cook the minced pork for him while his mom can do a mean humba anytime at home. But yes, he has to eat this and even urge me to taste it because, in his words, it's so good!
 |
| lamb |
Alright, I am disappointed with the lamb that they serve that night. It was hard to chew. Spiral in Sofitel Philippine Plaza still serves the best lamb hands down.
 |
| fake shark's fin |
OK, this is not the real deal but at least they are saving and preserving shark's fin by not serving it.
 |
| Movenpick ice cream brand |
The mango ice cream is terrible. Nothing beats our mango ice cream here in Manila.
 |
| cheese cake |
 |
| pomegranate |
Seeing this picture makes me winced. I can still taste the sourness of this fruit.
The
following pictures were taken by DH. The restaurant allowed us to take
photograph because I think they have an on going blogging contest at
that time. I was not sure because I only know a few Chinese characters.
But I saw BLOGGING in the advertisement right outside the restaurant. At
one point, when the one manning the food section saw DH taking photos,
he even arranged the food so DH could take a nice photo of it hehe But
no, we didn't went in and say I am a blogger.
 |
| seafood section |
Aside from soft shell crab, I also ate a lot of tempura ; )
 |
| noodles |
Drinks
like juice, soda, beer and wine are all free of charge. I was not able
to see drinking water being served. Good thing, I brought in a bottle
with me haha I searched the whole restaurant but I can't seem to find
water even in the drinking station.
Burp! Till my next food post! Hang in there : )
