Breakfast at South Palms

It's been almost a year since our last travel to Panglao in Bohol. The last two times we were there, we stayed at the South Palms resort. The resort used to be part of the expansive Bohol Beach Club; at least half of the largest resort in Bohol (I think it may still be one of the largest if not the largest now based on the land area and beachfront.).

South Palms' buffet has an excellent spread. It actually reminded us of the buffets at Shangri-la hotels and Sofitel's famous Spiral.

There are many choices for everyone including those who might be on certain diets or who prefer to be vegetarian.

It's very tempting to get so many items and indulge (i.e., overeat).

Local dishes include humba, camote (sweet potatoes) and dried fish.

You an even have pasta or noodles for breakfast

Breads include pan de sal. There are also pancakes and waffles.

Various kinds of sticky rice delights.

Puto Maya is basically glutinous rice served with minatamis na bao (sweetened coconut).

Puto maya, mangga at pritong saging na saba (sticky rice, mangoes and fried saba bananas)

You can have a heavy breakfast in case you're touring afterwards and don't want to worry about getting hungry and finding somewhere to eat. Or perhaps you opt to have a light lunch later instead. What is definite is that the buffet is well worth it whether you're staying at the resort or visiting for breakfast. 
 
Note: South Palms recently changed their name to Oceanica. I hope they retained the buffet and the quality of service at the resort.
