Got this email before. dont know if all these are still updated. Pasensya na or bura nyo nlng if ever may nagpost na nito.

 

Very useful list

 

EAT ALL YOU CAN

 

Fight! *ting, ting, ting*

 

4. Chinatown, Banawe QC , 400/head FULL MEAL! -->food is not fresh enough. its a warzone out there

 

5. Saisaki/DAD' s/Kamayan, 500/head -->quality still suffers. reheats food for buffet

 

9. Blue Bay , Quirino Grandstand, 350/Head. -->dishes not executed very well; nice view

 

10. Brazil brazil - Metrowalk & Powerplant Mall (meat all you can 650/head) -->good qualilty. you get what you pay for

 

16. Circles, Shangri-la Makati, expensive but very large buffet-->quality had dwindled down but still at par with the best

 

17. Spiral, Westin Philippine Plaza, expensive din but bigger buffet than

Shangri-la --> sacrifices quality for quantity

 

18. Cravings, salad all yo u can Katipunan infront of Ateneo --> very inconsistent and mediocre. dishes tasted as if prepared by CCA novice

 

19. Tong Yang Hot Pot--> the mother of shabu buffet, food quality depends on branch

 

21. Tramway, Banawe, Chinese eat all you can, 160/head--> greasetown; observe the grease on ALL dishes

 

24. Don Henricos, Eat all you can Tuesdays and Wednesdays-->has-been; only thing worth going there is their buffalo chicken

 

27. Mandarin Palace , Ongpin, 150/head--> lame excuse for chinese food

 

31. Alba's Restaurant - Tomas Morato, Libis, Jupiter St. - Spanish cuisine - one of my personal favorites, lalo na yung lechon de leche nila.. MM.. mm.. MM!!! --> quality maintained

 

33. Paseo, Mandarin Hotel--> good quality and diverse food variety

 

34. 7 Corners, Crown Plaza , Galleria--> just dined there once. satisfactory but still lacking in variety

 

35. Heat, Shangli-la EDSA--> fresh seafood, good variety but i just prefer makati shang over it

 

36. karate kid (rice and drinks)-->i'd take tokyo tokyo anytime

 

 

37. Emperor Villa - ongpin st., binondo - lunch 180-200, dinner is seafood buffet at roastings (asado, lechon de leche) @ 350--> roasting usually dry. price is fair for food quality and food is freshly cooked

 

46. Steak MD, Tomas Morato - Eat all you can Steak (TBone) - 500--> didnt know they had this.

Buffets are nasty!

I worked in the Food and Bev industry for over 25 years. I never eat buffets if I can help it.

They are so nasty.

Food is left out and incorrect temperatures.

People touch the food.

People sneeze on the food.

How long has it been there.

Was it recycled?

Yechhh.

 

Besides, why go to a restaurant and have to go get your food?

It should be brought to you, not put out so that the pigs can go to the trough.

Nasty Nasty Nasty.

:thumbsdownsmiley:Why- We are humans not gluttonous pigs!

 

All you can eat places are typically centered on quantity not quality.

If all you want to do is pig out. Eat at home.

Dining out should be an experience for your palate, not an excuse to keep alka selzer in business.

I would rather have a nicely presented, well served and perfectly prepared dish then eat at the trough like a pig.

even in hotels?

With regards to the comments that buffets are nasty....

 

I think buffets in the hotel are generally cleaner. And with regards to people sneezing on the food or touching the food. Most hotels have servers that serve the food for you when you go the buffet. So that would make the food more cleaner. Also, people eating in the hotel, generally (but not all) have more manners (to not sneeze on the food... hehehehe).

I went to Kabalens right below Dad's and it is probably one of the best buffet places that serves authentic Pilipino food. Pampanga style cooking is one of the best. I always go there whenever I'm in town.

 

 

guess i'm answering to a year old post but anyway, I just would like to say that Cabalen as it is properly spelled is the worst buffet places I had been. The price is actually is not cheap for the menus that they are offering. I just feel sorry that I have tried that place. I guess the only thing that is nice is their billboard outside the resto. very recognizable.

I am a costumer who appreciate the services and food that has been offered by a certain establishment. I guess you have a very limited places that had been visited in your 25 years of work in food and beverages. Try the 2nd floor of China Town along Banaue street, Quezon City. You have more than 70 dishes to choose from. As I've said I'm only one of the satisfied costumer and I recommend it to you. The price is 420.00PHP per person. Soon as you had the experience on dining to a proper place, let me know your opinion. I will accept your good and bad critics. Thanks.

Circles at Makati Shangrila. Their dessert selection can almost give me an orgasm right there and then.
