Food Post: Buffet Galore at Vikings

You have probably heard of this new eat-all-you-can buffet restaurant near SM Mall of Asia that has been drawing crowds these past months:

Welcome to Vikings.

Here are some of the food lined up to greet you:

The salad/appetizer bar.   This set-up reminds me so much of the buffet restaurant at The Hyatt Hotel in Manila.

More appetizers!

The sushi bar.  A big hit!

I would have gotten more pictures of the food but I got hungry looking and taking pictures of them so I started filling up my plate already.

I should be ashamed in showing you what I had at Vikings (because they are PLENTY and un-befitting of a lady hehe) but what the heck, it’s an eat-all-you-can buffet anyway.

For appetizer I had…

Freshly-baked bread, pasta salad, grapes-and-olives salad, potato salad and a piece of chicken finger.   The chicken finger is tops!  I ended up coming back for more of this.  The potato and pasta salad were also very good, they are comparable to the salads being served at hotels.   Not in picture is the pumpkin soap I had which is also good – very creamy and not heavily salted.

Now for the main course…

Shrimp with butter garlic sauce, Japanese Rice, Fish and Chips, Vegetable Ratatouille, Chicken Fingers (again) and Lengua (Ox Tongue).

I love all my choices and my favorite would be the Lengua – very tender.  And also the vegetable ratatouille which is very flavorful and the vegetables doesn’t have a soggy texture.

As if my plate wasn’t full enough, I went back to the buffet table to get these…

Salmon Pizza, Shark’s fin dumpling and Pancit Canton.  Burp burp burp!

Now for the desserts.   It was really tempting to try all these goodies…

Yummy, yes?  Super yummy I would say.  I had only the red velvet cake (in bite-size) and coffee brownie.   The red velvet cake is a must-try!

I capped my meal(s) with a cup of hot brewed coffee (they have refillable coffee too, nice!).

Do try Viking’s.   I say you’re missing a lot if you haven’t eaten here yet.    It’s way, way better than YakiMix.   The cost per head is P688.00 during weekdays and P888.00 during weekends.  The prices quoted are exclusive of the service charge (around 5%).

Vikings is located at Building B, San Miguel by the Bay, Seaside Boulevard, SM Mall of Asia.  You can also call them for reservations at these numbers:  846-3888, 846-4888 and 846-5888 (too many 8’s, my lucky number yey!).
