Body positive activists have gone into overdrive in the last few weeks, tweeting and releasing Youtube videos filled with advice about how to cope with ‘diet culture’ talk over the festive season when there’s so much delicious food to enjoy. Well, thanks to regular exercise, this old bird sure isn’t obsessing over calories! I caught up with Simon, a friend of over 10 years, at Basilico Italian, located at Regent Hotel.
I wore a past season bodycon dress from www.mdscollections.com which had peekaboo cutouts at the waist and just below the shoulders. Such a sassy dress demands to be seen, so we asked a hotel staff to take a photo of us with the stunning Christmas display 😉
The lunch buffet spread is especially popular, such that the sprawling restaurant is packed with diners. If you’re thinking of splurging on a really delicious meal here - and you should - I highly recommend placing an advance table reservation. Not only is the restaurant interior elegant (got to give it to the Italians!), the food is nothing short of spectacular.
This international buffet boasts fine cheeses, impossibly fresh seafood and exotic dishes across various cuisines alongside exquisite pastas, as well as other Italian fare. Everything I tried was incredibly delicious! I ate so much that I didn’t have room for dessert.
