Buffet101 International Cuisine

-20120726-

Nobody can stop us from having foodtrips. Our group definitely loves food and this is one of the numerous reasons why we get along so well. So before the month of July ends, we decided to try another buffet restaurant.

Buffet101 is also located at SM Mall of Asia, over looking Manila Bay. The place is cozy, relaxing, and stylish. Like the other buffet restaurant we've tried, Buffet101 is also perfect for family gatherings, business meetings, as well as corporate events.

Buffet101 offers a wide variety of cuisine. For someone like me who has a small appetite, it was difficult to choose dishes that I would try for the night. Here are photos of what we had during our first Buffet101 experience.


Crabs and Shrimps
Different kinds of Maki


Upon knowing that Buffet101 serves crabs and shrimps, we already planned beforehand that we'll be eating a lot of these dishes. We didn't go wrong with our decision. Their crabs and shrimps were very delicious that we couldn't resist eating more. Another must try in buffets like this is the different types of Maki and Sushi they serve.


Oysters
Mussels
More crabs please! :)


We also tried other seafood dishes such as oyster and mussels. I am just not sure with the name of the dishes.


Soup
Tofu and Steak


Their Tofu is superb. This is one of the best tofu dish that I've tried in my whole life. So if ever you'll be eating at Buffet101, try this dish so you'll be able to rate its taste.

Another section in Buffet101 that we did enjoy was their Dessert bar.Their frozen yogurt is a must try! In fact, we had a couple of servings of their ice cream and froyo. :)


Crepe
Crepe. Ice Cream. Froyo


Of course, my Buffet101 experience isn't complete without my foodtrip buddies. Hoping to have another fun food tripping with you!

Vikings: A Feast from the Sea

We've been hearing a lot about a famous luxury buffet restaurant located in SM Mall of Asia. It had good reviews so we decided to try it ourselves and be the one to judge the ambiance of the place, quality of the food and service, and the taste of the food they serve.

Ambiance wise, the place is stylish and relaxing. Vikings is over looking Manila Bay that makes it a perfect place for family gatherings, business meetings, and even corporate events. Menu wise, Vikings offers a wide variety of cuisine: European, American, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipino dishes. Service wise, Vikings has a dedicated chef in each food station who ensures the quality of the food. Also, they have a lot of friendly and polite staffs which you can call anytime if you need anything.





We had quite a hard time deciding what to eat since this buffet restaurant has a lot of food choices. Everything on the buffet table looked delicious but we cannot taste each of them because our stomach has a limited space only.

Among us, I am the one who eats little but gets full very fast. Plus my choice of food is very simple. Here are some photos of the dishes I chose to try on our Vikings lunch date. (I wasn't able to take photos of the food that my friends tried)


I was trying to be healthy so I went to the salad buffet table :)
Different types of Maki, a must try!


Other dishes we tried were: hot pot, sushi, steak, dumplings, taho, ice cream, and frozen yogurt. From 1-10 (10 as the highest), our over-all experience at Vikings can be rated as 6. We were satisfied with the food and their service. But we had some not-to-good memorable experiences during our first and second visit at Vikings that I opt not to mention here.

You should try to eat at Vikings so you can see for yourself what this buffet restaurant offers. Just remember to make your reservation if you wish to dine at Vikings. :)

Happy Birthday Alvin!

-20120706-

Happy birthday Alvin! :)



You are such a wonderful person inside and out. Aside from the fact that God created you as a very handsome creature, you have this "goodness" inside you that not everyone has a  chance to witness. A loving and thoughtful son, a jolly and caring friend, a very generous person, a responsible employee, someone who is fun to be with especially when having food trips.

There is never a dull moment with you. Your funny stories, your jokes, your simple gestures, and your childish acts make the people around you happy. That is why I love being by your side. I love hearing your stories and listening to your jokes. I also love seeing your funny gestures. You never failed to make smile, and with this I want to thank you for being a wonderful blessing in my life. I've been through a lot for the past year and I want you to know that you and our other friends are the reason why I am able to cope with everything. I am certain that you're also a blessing in other people's lives because of the infectious laughter that you bring to everyone.

I pray that you'll be showered with more blessings this year. May God give you wisdom with the decisions you'll make in the future. May God continuously heal all your sickness. I also pray that you'll have a stronger relationship with God because He will never fail you.

Happy birthday! We love you! <3
