10 Breakfast Buffets in Metro Manila Worth Waking Up Early for

(SPOT.ph) There are many (too many, perhaps) reasons to hit the snooze button in the morning—but a damn good breakfast might be the one reason we have not to do so. The thought and smell of tocino, tapa, longganisa, garlicky fried rice, and more are enough to make anyone break free from their bed's strong gravitational force. What more if you can have it buffet-style where you can get a second, third, heck, sixth serving of your faves—plus the egg of your dreams, free-flowing coffee, and at least three kinds of dessert? It's definitely worth being an "early bird," even just for a day.

If waking up early for a breakfast buffet is something you and your family and friends can all get behind, below is a list of hotels and restaurants in Metro Manila with breakfast buffets worth forgetting the snooze button for.
