It's already been a year! Yes, it has been one year since we tied the knot. Frankly speaking, due to budget constraint, we really didn't plan for a wedding anniversary until I bumped on to Metrodeal's P399 Midnight buffet at Movie Star Cafe, Mall of Asia. Since I have read good reviews about the restaurant, we pursued our anniversary celebration at the cafe.
The midnight buffet's time slot is from 10pm to 2am (mon-fri) and 10pm-12mn on Sundays. July 7 falls on a Sunday, so we only have 2 hours to enjoy the buffet spread and the performances. We arrived 2 hours early so we decided to do the usual thing we do whenever we are at the mall during our college years...play at the arcade.

Movie Star Cafe is located at Mall of Asia's bay area. Upon entering the resto, you will notice that hundreds of monitors and life-sized statues of movie characters surrounds the place. The likes of Spiderman, Terminator, Shrek, Batman and Joker, and a lot more. Here are some I've captured.

Even the waiters and waitresses were dressed like a movie character thus giving you that 'Hollywood' ambience. There were also mimes which will sure to entertain you with their funny antics.

In case you do not know, the resto offers performances every 30 minutes. That night, performances from movies like Grease, The Lion King, Footloose, Cosplayer's dance number, and even Barbie kept our eyes glued on stage.
Barbie sang and danced that night:
Then Grease the movie:
They even had Simba's parents on stage..hehe
Then, Footloose!
The foods were just so-so. Nachos, sisig, sausages, barbecues, burger patties, onion rings, french fries, mojos and bunch of sushis were displayed on the buffet spread. What broke my heart is that there is no desserts on the buffet table like what I have read on reviews..(see?? I AM a sweet tooth) >_<

All in all? MovieStar Cafe is worth the experience but I'm afraid I wouldn't dine there again if I'm after the buffet spread. if I were given the chance to visit them again, it wouldn't be because of the food but because of the performances and the super wonderful staffs. ;)
