Vikings Luxury Buffet: A Birthday Treat

Friday, September 20, 2013



Vikings Luxury Buffet has been around for quite some time now.  I've been to the Mall of Asia branch once.  They now have branches at SM Marikina, SM City Davao and have announced expansions in Makati and SM Aura.

I'm not really a fan of buffets as I'm not a big eater.  I just wanted to try it so that I could try the different dishes in their buffet.  Anyway, since most of the buffets nowadays have the birthday treat, I took advantage of this promo.  My Mom and I share the same birthday so that means we could get free dinner if we bring along 2 regular paying adults.  I reserved for our seats through their Facebook page and got confirmation.  The reservation holds from 5:30PM - 7:00PM.  After that, they could be giving away the slots to walk-ins.

I had thought that we would be paying for PhP1088/adult for a Friday, but they still consider it as weekday and the rate is still PhP888/adult.  Great!

We also got two kids with us (between 3 and 4 feet) and it's a good thing they've recently lowered the kid's rate to PhP288/kid (I think that's from PhP388/kid, weekday rate).

The table reserved for our group is by the window, with a view of Manila Bay... at least for some moments until it became dark.

The Food.  They have variety of food laid out so that it's not just in one place and accessible to every part of the restaurant.  They have salads, pastas, variety of rice dishes, veggies and meat viands, soups, grilled meat, seafoods, dimsum, and a lot more.  Here are some pictures of the food they serve.

And last but not the least... our birthday cake (one for each celebrant)!  We were not able to wait for the team singing some songs to the celebrants as the kids are getting sleepy.

Drinks are also included in the rate.  One can enjoy unlimited soda, fruit juices, coffee and beer.

Thank you Vikings!
