Popular buffet chain Vikings Luxury Buffet recently opened a branch at SM BF Paranaque (hooray for southerners like me!). Been wanting to treat my mom here and it’s great that they have a birthday promo because she’ll be "buffet-ing" for free! (another hooray!)
When we arrived, there were already a lot of people waiting
at the walk-in queue. Good thing that I already made reservations so we were immediately
led to our seats. Vikings SM BF is high-ceiling, has elegant lights and at the
center is a very extensive hors d'oeuvres spread. I liked their waldorf salad,
watermelon gazpacho, caprese, and tuna geviche. I find their cheese and cold
cuts lacking tho.
I then proceeded to the belly chon, forty cloves roasted
chicken and deep fried turkey which you can drizzle with wild mushroom or
barbeque sauce—yummy! Vikings SM BF also has a make-your-own shawarma station.
I also enjoyed the Asian dishes such as beancurd roll,
hakaw, roasted beef mechado, pork asado, steamed suahe and fish ampalaya tausi.
They also have different kinds of siomai—pork, chilli chow, beef and quail
egg. For soup lovers, Vikings SM BF has
seafood bouillabaisse, seafood hototay and birthday noodles soup.
My mom, meanwhile, feasted on various seafood and Japanese
standards such as maki, sushi, etc.
Finally, time for dessert! Well, it’s not that extensive—the
usual fresh fruits, panna cottas, ice cream and halo-halo. But they have
plenty of cakes and Flipino native delicacies like puto bumbong,
kutsinta and pichi-pichi. Plus, they have a chocolate and white chocolate
fondue!
The PhP 932.40 I paid (weekend lunch rate of PhP 888 tax
exclusive) also comes with unlimited drinks. And there were plenty to choose
from—from Jacob Creek wines, milk tea, to Milo shake! But I’m quite
disappointed with the various juices (lemongrass tea, fresh tamarind, lemonade,
etc) because it was too “artificially” sweet.
Anyways, they gave a small cake for my mom , made her wear a
“Vikings” hat and sang her a birthday song. Truly, my mom celebrated her
birthday like a Viking!
