Eating. Probably my favorite activity in the world. And it’s even more enjoyable on cruise! On board the SuperStar Virgo from Singapore to Port Klang, Malaysia, I found myself eating most of the time! To hell with my tummy, I would indulge in the many gastronomic delights aboard this lovely cruise ship!

SuperStar Virgo houses several restaurants serving a variety of international cuisines. From fine dining to buffet restos, you’ll find something that caters to your taste. The Airphil Express Fly and Sail package comes with free meals from three restaurants — Bella Vista (international), Mediterranean Buffet (halal certified), and The Pavilion (Chinese). This means that you won’t be charged if you eat at any of these three restaurants.

It was Barbeque Night on our first night on the cruise and they set up a barbeque buffet by the pool! Awesome! Perfect for gluttons like me! Among the many dishes were grilled beef, squid, and sausages, and steamed corn among others. Dessert and soup were also overflowing; it was indeed a pig-out moment for me. LOL. For a moment, I declared that day (and the next 2 days) my cheat days from my non-existent weight-loss diet.

Barbeque buffet! #Dying

After that heavy, heavy dinner, we went straight to the Lido Theater to see performers from Russia and Brazil on a complimentary show called Reflections of Russia. It was pretty entertaining to see a show by acrobats, gymnasts, pole dancers. After the show I went back to the cabin, read a book, and finally hit the sack.

Photography is not allowed when the show is on so I have no pics of the performances, just the stage. LOL.

We had buffet breakfast the next morning at the same restaurant (Mediterranean Buffet and Terrace). For a breakfast lover, that restaurant was paradise. After that, we went on with the Kuala Lumpur sightseeing tour.

When we arrived from the tour, we spent an hour in our cabin and then headed to the Bella Vista for dinner. There was a dress code (smart casual/semi-formal). They served a five-course dinner, which was part of the package. Here are some snapshots of what I had for dinner that night!

Salmon (main course), Greek salad (appetizer), and Cheese and biscuits (dessert). Sorry about the quality of the photos. It was a little dark inside the restaurant.

There was a beauty pageant happening at the Grand Piazza — Miss Resorts World Manila. But since we weren’t into pageants, Hannah, Winston, Marcos and I chose to return to the Lido Theater for another free show. This time, it was a magic-slash-comedy-slash-magic show. It was cool. Especially when Philipart, the magician-slash-comedian-slash-singer-slash-host was allowed us to have a short photo-op with him.

After the show, we returned to Mediterranean Buffet for supper (midnight snack). Again, the meal was part of the package so we weren’t charged extra for this.

Aside from the Mediterranean Buffet and Terrace, the Pavilion, and Bella Vista, here’s a list of the other restaurants on board.

• Noble House (Chinese cuisine, fine dining)
• The Taj (Indian buffet – halal)
• Samurai Restaurant (Japanese food)
• Blue Lagoon (Southeast Asian food)
• Palazzo (Italian fusion restaurant)
• The Taverna (Snack bar)
• Bellini (Liquor bar)
• Café Gelato (desserts!)

The Taj. Indian buffet restaurant. Halal.

Cafe Gelato!

I can’t say anything about them coz I wasn’t able to try what they had to offer.
