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?

Making it happen Vlog very nice guyz!! 👌🏻😊

Meat with meat and a side of meat? Super balanced
Blessed watching this video.. Welcome to the Philippines.. 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Omgosh! Seeing you Mike and Nelly in this video is such a treat! I didn’t expect that. It’s like seeing my family from afar!
She is one of the youtubers who's cute and acts cute without the feeling of cringe.
Philippines is such an amazing country! I feel like everyone is so friendly and welcoming there!!
I didn't expect nelly and Mike. I love them! ❤️ I love seeing you guys together 🤗🥺
I love how Mike and Nelly embraced the Filipino Culture. ❣️
TJ making us all hungry while in quarantine 😭😭😭 I miss all the food that your tried!
Right same here!
😭😭
Wontons are really really heavy. It’s 1-ton.
😂😭😂😭😂😭😂😭😂😭
LOL nice one
😆😆
Best food is heavy food skinny Fatboy
good one bro! got me laughing
Who wish they can try these awesome buffets in the Philippines?🙋🏻♀️😍 Everything looks so good! I wish to visit the Philippines one day ❤️
We do!
I'm watching food before going to bed, that's all I'm doing watching food vlogs on UA-cam is that good before bed.😅 I'm getting hungry now. Awesome vlog!!👍🤙🤙🤙
You're blessed with such a sweet voice, you can talk all day and I'd never shut you up 😍
For somebody with a small physical structure, you can really eat!!! AND I LOVE IT !!
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.
It was such a nice surprise to see you vlogging on Philippine buffet! Made me so homesick. But then, in this time of pandemic, buffett restaurants are closed anyways. Yum, yum.
Mike and Nelly is very knowledgeable about the Filipino Food. Great content!
Tj, you're vlogs are the best! Very informative as well. You are the reason why I alao startes my travel vlog. All the best! Keep safe.
She's funny with cute accent... ❤
Ty friend!! Best of luck with ur channel 🥰
Thanks love for featuring the Philippines. ❤
I miss The Philippines all the food looks delish you should collab with Mike Chen ❤️
Whaaaaat?!?!?! You had Mike and Nelly? I was not ready for it but that's awesome you all got to collab. Go team!
ooooh man, I wish we was in the Philippines! Cant this lockdown be over already so we can go and start traveling/eating and vlogging it again!? anyways thanks for sharing and as always, stay safe!
Great collaboration!! You guys bounced well off each other!! Great Video!!!
Who else at home starving af while watching her eat 😂
i use to work with vikings before in the kitchen specifically.. we really make it sure that our food is fresh and good every service hours.. and changes menu every week 😊😊😊
I still need to try spiral! I'm surprised you know Mike and Nelly! They're awesome! You're awesome! Oh decently priced buffet? Awesome! Lol
Team chicken feet here! 🖐🏼👊🏼
Sending some hugs TJ! Hope you're well! 😘❤️
I regret watching this, in this times of quarantine. Mouth watering 😭
OMG! Where do you put all of that goodness? Lol. Awesome video as always and of course funny. Making me so hungry eating my regular lunch at work right now. 🤤

I am feom Manila and I love Taiwan and I've toured it for 1 week but I dont think I've been to all the nice places to visit and not tasted much cuisine so I wanna come back and visit Taiwan again.Your vlogs help me to have an idea of what to try to eat in some of my travel to other countries in Asia.

AHAHAH the fire nation 😂👏🏻😭
LOL exactly!

You are so cool! I can't believe you can eat so much! Thanks so much for sharing your eating experiences in the Philippines!
I haven't eaten Oysters Rockefeller since eating it at a party at The Plaza Hotel like 8 years ago. Thank you for sharing. The next time I go back to Manila, Spiral Buffet is on my bucket list. Last time I visited was in 1997, time to back!!!
Always look forward to your videos! Looks awesome! I don't know how covid will affect the buffet scene in the future, but hopefully they'll be able to continue to offer amazing food all while keeping safe practices :)
I'm a big fan! I love your content in the Philippines you deserve a million subs!!!
Taho is amazing 😍 watching you eat that makes my mouth water 🤤🤤🤤 Spiral also has that in their breakfast buffet! I cant believe you came in PH for the 2nd time and i didnt catch you again ugh! Buffet is the first place I'll go after Quarantine 😂
Omg!! I have to try the breakfast next time :0 sounds crazy

Sameee
OMG TJ now im craving so much haha. You are really great when it comes taste test you will a great endorser. NICE JOB TJ . new subscriber here enjoying you vlogs.
And we can't do this in the "new normal" :(
TJ cool I always wanted to go to spiral buffet in the Philippines, hope your doing well TJ in this quarantine ❤️. I’m down to go for more workshops when you offer them for free. I like your Manila videos because I’m Filipino. Glad you like Taho and I like chicken feet too TJ. And I love your noodle videos too❤️
TJ I love the cheese room at Spiral. Now, as for your bad jokes, not so much, but you are goofy and entertaining. You are the dorky, silly girl in school. Much love James
I want to try both, been planning to try The Alley before the pandemic. Spiral is more like a dream someday haha. Too expensive.
Next time any blogger is visiting this resto please publish your sched so we may come along... food quality and service is always better when you guys are around....
Two yummy buffets, you read my mind this time tj lol, hope I can go there in November 🙏, thank you for sharing more places to visit tj 🙌🙌
I love your voice and vocal expressions.....reminds me of a cute Disney character. New to your videos. Great job. Love your explanations of everything you eat! All the foods were amazing! Thank you!
Another drinking game idea.. take a shot everytime you sing what your doing 🤣🤣
I wasn't impressed by Spiral when I visited there, but the hall? THIS I am definitely interested in! 😍 Is Manila open again to visitors? hoping to return in December. 😀
WHO ELSE LOVES TJ??🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
small youtuber here
I was just at Spiral buffet this past January. Definitely have to try it at least once.
I would try Spiral buffet. Seems like more selections. However if I can chose one, the cheaper option to save money for my trip.
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.
If the Chef wants you to try something it's probably going to really good and he's proud of it.
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.
TJ the Seafood vacuum. haha buffets are my favorite type of restaurant.
omg TJ i just had dinner and now im hungry again after watching your video
She knows how to eat... would love to have her as partner to explore foodies world.
Kirby mode, lol. I remember that videogame. Ssslllluuuurrrrrrp😂🤣
Awesome video 👍
Thank you for sharing your experiences .....entertaining.
How do you compare the Spiral Buffet and the ones from here at Vegas that has the same price point in terms of quality, food options and service?
Lovely!! 😍
✨✨✨
CupofTJ 😊 thank you! Always love your videos!!
Lekker🍤🍣🥟🥩🤤
me hungry now...
I wish i could have this kind of buffet with friends after quarantine ends
Sarap!! Now i'm hungry. Love the singing too! :D
It all looks so delicous! Thanks for sharing!
Spiral buffet is definitely a destination! Just ironic that the footage of the shrimp showed some that weren’t cooked all the way.
Oh Lord...when I saw that GLORIOUS beef and taho...I just couldn't take it anymore. Covid be damned. I'm going home!!!
You are a riot! New SUB. 🤪
Wow, really, Mike & Nelly.Love your vlog making me hungry.
feeling so hungry now tj, love your shows..be safe, be happy..:-)
Please do collab with a Filipino vlogger sure hits!!!
Glad you enjoyed the food in the Philippines! ❤
Good thing we took advantage of tgeir promo that time we only paid half the price in The Alley
I love chicken feet! Specially the ones cooked adobo style. You should try it! ❤
And #TEAMCHICKENFEET here!!! 🙋♀️
I don't think you got the crab. It's probably the curacha(not sure what it is called in english. What date didntou went there? And was it dinner? Sunday lunch includes champagne.. but even pricier.
love my noods...😂😂😂
we are done feasting🤣🤣🤣
TJ 2020
my mind is so dirty😅😅😅
To be honest i fall inlove with your vlog. You are so amzing very positive woman. And also #makeithappen i followed them too. Such amazing things happening. Thank you so much. I had fun a lot watching you.
You are so cuteeeee 🤗🤗🤗 more more videos please
We've bn to Spiral with my family and friends sometime May 2019 ...there were really good selection of food to try but the next time we go back we'd like to go to other places as well.
filipino people will wake up early in the morning and wait for manong selling taho. you will know that manong is there when you hear someone yelling outside "TAAAAAHOOOOOO" and we will be running outside carrying our favorite mug while also yelling "kuya sandali lang"/"kuya taho" "hahaha.
Awesome vid 👍👍
🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm SO gonna have to find em' when I visit the PI again. I did not know they exist!! 😭
Only problem is that most buffet businesses will be affected because of the pandemic 😥
Thank you for sharing this video ma'am
spot on mike! we dont use knives 😂
Great video.. Team chicken feet. Thank you for visiting philippines .. Hope to visit spiral with my daughter and wife.. But its expensive. 💗💗
Buffet with Mike and Nelly....how can you go wrong? Can't wait to try these places out next time I'm home. 20 bucks for an all you can eat buffet with that much selection? 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. :-)
Best Adidas in town. and run at the same time loving it.
Wow everything in the video looks so good
Thank for the video
