  • I eat at two all you can eat buffets in Manila, Philippines. One is the legendary SPIRAL BUFFET and the other at VIKINGS, one of the best local buffet restaurants! A Filipino buffets review ft. Making It Happen Vlog! Thumbs up this video & click subscribe ❤️

    On this Filipino food trip we try The Alley by Vikings, an all you can eat buffet with multiple restaurants! We went to the Alley which is their international street-inspired food hall. The price for adult on a weekday lunch is 788 PHP and weekday dinner/weekends is 988 PHP which comes out to $19.51 USD. For the price, the selection and service and experience was definitely worth it!
    Then I visit the famous Spiral Buffet known as one of the world's greatest buffet. The food selection is INSANE and I was definitely blown away by the meat, fresh seafood, cheese selection AND the decoration. I checked the most recent Spiral buffet price and it's at 3,500 PHP per person which comes out to $69.12. It is actually much closer to $70 USD! One of the best buffet restaurants I've ever tried for sure. Definitely a luxury buffet experience, worth it for holidays and major celebrations.
    Hope you get a chance to visit these all you can eat buffets when you travel to Manila! Which of these two amazing buffets would you love to try?

    That's one of the reasons I miss the Philippines so much. The Buffett and so much variety of food to chose from. You can't get that in the U.S. (maybe in casinos but nothing compared to manila). Enjoy!!!

    TJ is so upbeat all of the time... I'll bet that she would be a hoot on a cross country motorcycle trip. Just exactly the fun companion that you want when stopping to try the local cuisine from different regions, or if you find a little hidden hideaway camping/swimming spot.

    The second buffet is awesome...the lamb looks perfect...the oysters are unique...the dim sum is special...I can pass the chicken feet. The first buffet appears to be more geared to tourists. Not a bad selection, but lots of carbs....typical for $20. The moods looked great at both.

    Buffet in the Philippines are best because buffet restaurant in the Philippines are very competitive in food services. Some companies send employees abroad to learn different dishes to incomporate in here in the Philippines.
    Taiwan are also amazing in night market.

You just can't beat that. They even have Taho...... Stay safe, TJ! Okay, #teamchickenfeet. Will just have to make sure I go when it's seafood night...I love seafood! Will just have to settle for chicken adobo for now. :-)
