dad's vs. buffet101 vs. vikings

[niky]

There's niu at SM Aura, which is basically Viking's, but upscale... with wine and foie gras included in the buffet. But it's 1.6k per head.

No freaking way am I spending that much money to eat, unless I'm dragged into it.

vikings... for the draft beer...

Nag bu-buffet lang ako pag may nang libre, hehehe

If you have the budget, SPIRALS oat Sofitel is the best, bar none.

Foie Gras, Lobster, Prime Rib, French Oysters, San Daniele and Proscuito Ham, 20 Varieties of Cheese......

Pang once or twice a year.

Agree, better than Circles of Shangrila. Their Proscuitto is the best place to hang around.

[leodawesome]

Sambokojin. Hehe.

Nah, never again. Dun lang ako nakakita ng salmon slices na may tinik, at chicken slices na may dugo. Vikings' and Dad's saisaki jap cuisines are better IMO.

Medyo healthy buffet, go shabu shabu. Tong Yang and the likes.

The trick at Spirals is to skip lunch, go for the Prime Rib first, 3 big Slices. Foie Gras 4 pcs. Then the Tenderloin at the Japanese section 3 Slices, then 2 Lobster Tails, French oyster, Sushi, San Daniele and Proscuitto, Peking Duck, Cheese Platter, then the rest.

The above alone will cost more than 5,000 at a regular restaurant.

Hmm... that's the same game plan I bring to any buffet. To hell with the savory dishes and carbs... go straight for the choice meat first. I don't understand why people actually go for the cheaper stuff at a buffet.

I also think it was a brilliant business model for Vikings to introduce bottomless softdrinks, beer and juice. Costs them less per liter of stomach space than actual food.

Always thought that's where Dad's went wrong before... sure, they made money charging for bottomless drinks, but they could have saved more money setting up the buffet by folding the bottomless drinks into the package (yeah, I know... they do that now).

drag me! drag me!

Sure. I'll pay the tip. You can handle the rest. Hehe.

Have only done Vikings for the birthday promo. With that, it's a good deal. Two adults, buffet, 1k+. Hits the spot.

Mura Lang sa F1 hotel buffet. Habol ko lang naman salmon sashimi.

Mas gusto ko Vikings (MOA and Megamall) kesa sa Buffet 101 (MOA).
Ang karne sa carving station ng Buffet 101 ay kokonti, hindi masyado malasa, at matigas din.

Basta ang strategy ko sa buffet, kainin ang hindi makikita sa bahay namin or sa resto na malapit sa amin. Tataka nga din ako sa iba ang kinukuha ay yung mga ordinary dishes or food. Nagbayad pa ng mahal.

Basta't magaling yung pag manage ng food supply, masaya na ako.
I really hate it when an establishment cannot keep up with the demands of some of the sugapa/swapang/bwakaw na customers who would fill up two bandehados full of tempura, crab legs, etc. leaving nothing for the other customers.

of course!
it's a must, to empty the tummy first (by fasting) before going to these places, so's to maximize food intake..
and we go straight to the protein sources, like the meats and other animal tissues.!
carbs are for peons y camineros.. heh heh. filler material.
(apologies to the peons y camineros.)

Vikings for me due to the fact that they have a wider selection of food and drinks....

The buffet restos thrives in those who fill their plates with garlic rice, yang chow rice and steam rice. Minsan nagtataka talaga ako sa mga nakikita ko sa mga buffet restaurants na punong puno ng kanin ang mga plato nila....

Dad's for me. yung mga experience ko kasi sa vikings di masyado maganda, parang stressful ang dating sakin nung queue; kaso napapasama sa GF ko dahil sa mga officemates nya ^_^ (libre)
tsaka lugi ako sa buffet kasi 2x lang ako bumalik

btw anyone tried guevarra's in mandaluyong/san juan area ito eh?

[_Qwerty_]

yes iba na Dad's ngayon.. kasama na din drinks.. may fruit shakes pa.. wala lang coffee..

tsaka pag bday sa kanila.. 3 days before and 3 days after.. 1 paying customer lang free na yung may bday.. sa iba 3 paying customers..

Re: Guevarra's... nothing special.. actually yung ibang food nila hindi masarap..

I'll go to Sambokojin and Alba than Dad's, Vikings, Yakimix, Guevarra's.. i haven't tried buffet 101..

I also wait for voucher promo for Jeepney (Intercon).. mas sulit..

isang beses ko palang na try yung Guevarra's, pero OK yung experience sakin hehehe
OK lang din yung food, baka kasi mas prefer ko yung chill lang at wala masyadong brasuhan sa queue sa vikings kasi ewan ko ba parang gutom lahat ng kasabay ko eh
