I was really impressed with the variety of food on the buffet line. From lamb to steaks, whole shrimp, bolo bolo and sashimi with plenty of wasabi(if that doesn't clear your nose!) They had several different drinks even beer on tap! Many different desserts but no pie(apple,cherry,pumpkin) but plenty of other cakes and Filipino types. Mexican, and other international cuisine. I was impressed with the variety. Even had an assortment of cheeses with my salad there. I sure do miss the variety of cheese in PI, but was not disappointed at Viking. I will definitely go there again. The only caution is that you fill up so much then when you go outside the heat and humidity makes you fill bloated and not feeling well. I would suggest to walk it off in the mall before leaving. The price was P799 per person. A little pricey but I think it was worth it! I could almost do that for beer alone haha! I think the wife even got a discount card for next time! It was almost as good as the buffet in the States like Hometown Buffet or Golden Corral! So was surprised I found something similar here..... Cheers! Agree with these comments, we went once but never again as was out of control. Wonderful food but I over indulged and felt also totally bloated to the point of not sleeping. Much as I love it but not the after effects.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I have seen one rat running around at the closest SM store to me here, another at the S & R main store and also a few times in regular restaurants. I believe they are endemic here, sadly. And the cockroaches? I have not seen them, surprisingly. But I know they are there, lurking... I really do cook most of our meals at home. At least there are no rats in the apartment, nor cockroaches - just those damn sugar ants from time to time and I go after them with a vengeance because their bites really sting and itch and last a while... Bought a loaf of Gardenia wheat bread the other day at an SM Savemore store with the rest of the groceries, a corner of the loaf was chewed open and part of the bread was chewed up. Now I examine everything I buy before it goes in the cart. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Tommy T. Posted October 10, 2019 Forum Support Posted October 10, 2019 There's a bakery just outside of the SM grocery in the nearest mall to me here. One day I was there to buy some burger buns that they call brioche rolls (bigger burger buns). As I waited to check out I saw a small cockroach wandering around among the fresh buns and rolls and sweet things on the top shelf. The burger buns were in a sealed plastic pouch. Now, when I refer to that place to L I just say, yeah... the cockroach bakery... yuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never figured that out...why? My brother-in-law was just here with s-i-l and the young niece and nephew. He cooked for them. When he served the food, the kids' plates were literally 95% rice. I was shocked! He had just cooked a huge pan of pork adobo but I guess he felt embarrassed to eat the meat. I was about to urge him to give the kids more meat but my wife shushed me. Later, she told me, "That's how they have to eat at home." I'm glad she stopped me before I embarrassed him but I think for Christmas, like Scrooge, I'm going to send them a big, fat Christmas goose! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
