New Year at Carousel

Right after church on New Year's day, we all met up at Royal Plaza's Carousel to have our customary new year lunch. We are, generally, not superstitious but it's our own way of saying that we are looking forward to a plentiful year ahead. Who am I kidding? Really, it's just our excuse to pig out without feeling guilty.

Not a lot has changed since we were there last, the waffle station that we were so looking forward to was sadly still missing. Just the same, I took photos of their dessert spread as it always makes me happy. 

New additions to the buffet spread are the huge paella pot, three chocolate fondue stations and the different ice cream flavors. Other than that, it was more or less the same. I have to say that we didn't find it as exciting as before. 

They have the Alice and Wonderland theme this year and there was the Mad Hatter checking up on guests. 

Ching also mentioned that it was Abby's birthday so when she got back to her seat, she was greeted with a birthday song number. 

And here's our customary group shot at the hotel's grand staircase.
