It is a Fatterside tradition to get together for a buffet dinner on New Year's Day after sleeping off the feast we had on New Year's Eve. We're a family of slobs and we're proud of it.
Actually, we are not really big on buffets, but it is the most practical thing to do when you have 35 lazy and hungry people who cannot decide on a common cuisine.
We had our New Year's Dinner at Heat the last 4 years. See here and here. I don't know where my 2012 post went. Lol.
This year we decided to be more adventurous and try out Escolta at The Pen
We had this area all to ourselves
We sat where we could admire the beautiful view of the fountain.
Unfortunately, the mosquitoes had the same idea.
The kind staff gave us a bottle of insect repellent which spared my deliciously
fat and juicy legs. Thank you!
