Â as for the choco fountain, philippine plaza, grand hyatt and circles shangrila all have these but their chocolate dips have different consistencies. the one at circles is quite thin, probably with too much water content. the one at phil plaza has a very thick consistency, probably due to high oil and sugar content but chocolate content not enough. grand hyatt has the best combination of consistency and content but they serve it with oily churros which stretches the sweet palate to the extreme. serving it with chilled fresh fruits gives the best result, the low temperature making the chocolate more firm and the water content of the fruit neutralizing the fat content of the chocolate.

ATONG ANG Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 What happened to this?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>very few responded to this probably because many have exhausted their financial resources during the christmas season so we decided to move it to a later date Quote Link to comment
ATONG ANG Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 visited tramway last night and was digusted with the sevice. we went there around 830 pm and when we asked for refills since the other dishes had dried out in the chafing dish, they told us the buffet closes at 9pm and they dont serve after that. they had been very enthusiastic about it when we went in there and had not informed us about it. the waiter then acted aloof to us and even went to the point of hiding. whew!!! as for the food, except for a few pieces of fried wanton, the other dishes were dried out.

delarosa Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Hi all, have back read quite a few pages and there was no mention about Dusit Hotel cafe's buffet. We're planning to have a party of about 80 persons. They have a discount card (free membership) offering 20% discount. For 80 perons, 8 will dine for free, and this is on top of the 20% discount. All in all, price per person is around 650 inclusive of bottomless ice tea. Any comments or alternatives? Thanks. Quote Link to comment

Focal2x Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I went to grand hyatt's market buffet tonight and I gotta say, im very satisfied with their selection of food. Quality over quantity is what I got. Their salmon sashimi has got to be the best tasting/texture here in manila compared to any resto or any buffet places like circles or paseo uno. Thier roasting are yummy indeed! Reminded me I was eating chinese food in Vancouver. Soy duck was just amazing! *drool* The japanese section consisted of the usual tempura dishes but what made this different from other places is that it had a yakiniku station and a teppanyaki section. Carvings had a choice of lamb, chicken, and prime rib along with bbq choices like chicken & beef skewers. Italian section had freshly baked pizza & pasta. Chinese had dimsum like siomai, chicken feet, and spareribs. They had steamed rice topping (spareribs) & also had a noodle section with various meatballs/fishballs topping. As atong ang said..their chocolate fountain is very good (the best in my opinion) rather than using dark chocolate like phil plaza & circles..they use milk chocolate which isn't that sweet nor was it bitter. The churroz & maccaroon were just divine when drentched with the chocolate. Other desserts also include crepe, ice cream, and the usual cakes. Sayang walang souffle like circles. This place is well worth the P980++ they charge for dinner. Very good indeed. Quote Link to comment
