"The Best of the Year that was: The countdown begins for the Philippines ' best new products launched by restaurants in 2006...Best buffet found in a destination restaurant in Southern Luzon --Kusina Salud. After reading raving reviews, I trooped to San Pablo , Laguna (around 100 kms from Manila ) to check it out for myself. Kusina Salud, originally intended to be a retirement haven for designer Patis Tesoro and her family, opened its doors to adventurous seekers of out-of-town dining experiences. Call for reservations and check out the Filipino buffet at less than P400 per person. One of the best value-for-money buffets and a great menu selection done by Chef Paul Poblador
