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.

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.

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.

Kumain lang tayo hanggang masiyahan tayo, wag magpakabundat at baka hinde naman matunawan

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).

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.
