Dining Review

Vikings SM Megamall

My family thinks I’m not sulit for All You Can Eat Buffets. 

I beg to differ.

We just have different tastes, so we eat different things at these buffets. We all enjoy the process when we are there…just sometimes, if I over eat, I might regret it just a little when I’m laying in bed still feeling full from the meal immediately before we retire for the night.

So if I have a choice, I would rather go to LUNCH for an Eat All You Can Buffet, because then I would just skip dinner and not feel bad. I like lots of different tastes and textures when I eat, so a place that offers over TWO HUNDRED+ dishes can surely satisfy my palette when I’m looking to change things up.

Thank you Raquel for inviting us for a Mother's Day treat with my boys. It was a great way to kick of Mother's Day weekend.

I have visited the Vikings MOA branch when they first opened and I have to admit that I was a bit overwhelmed and didn’t even know where to begin when we arrived. We visited that branch with Nino’s family during peak hours so by the time we finally sat at a table everyone was so super happy to dig into all of the different stations!

Raquel from Vikings Megamall walked us around the entire restaurant to show us all the different stations and of course the boys were intrigued when they say a “make your own” pizza station. They were so excited with the choice of different sauces and the toppings that they had to make their pizza right away.

When it came to the toppings they had a little assistance. Better that way actually, because they have a habit of piling too many toppings so the crust doesn’t get crunchy.

But don’t let the boys obsession with pizza fool you. There are plenty more stations to indulge in from Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Mediterranean, Filipino, carving, salad, grilled, and desserts. Really, I didn’t know where to start!

So I started with the caviar section. Raquel also showed Diego the treat that so many kids his age LOVE. Milo with a scoop of chocolate ice cream. Here he is, next to the chocolate fountains with his ice cold milo and ice cream.

The more I went around, the more I realized how hungry I was! I think I was so excited, I didn’t even get a picture of the roast beef or deep fried turkey. But you can bet your bottom dollar that I had a slice of each! WITH popovers and gravy too!

I opted for the Laksa flavored soup.

There was also a shabu shabu station that I wanted to try. You pick your ingredients for the soup, and then your flavor. They bring it to the table complete with bowls to share and a burner to cook it and keep it warm.

I think it's so cute when one of these comes to the table. We like to make shabu shabu at home often. We usually eat outside because the kids get a little messy when they cook.

But wait. There was also this pomelo salad that I went back for thirds. Caramelized, (I think it was grilled?) sweet, juicy goodness. I enjoyed at least 3 plates of this from the salad bar. Thanks Raquel for the recommendation!

Sweet Caramelized Pomelo. Burp.

There is plenty to choose from at the Grilling station. I always love grilling, because grilling is just a little bit healthier.

I have always liked grilled food for the fact that it’s so healthy. Truth be told, I have been known to put everything on the grill and even veggies in foil packets when I didn’t want to do dishes. So you can pick anything from this grilled section, have them grill it for you, and then they will bring it to your table, just like the shabu shabu pot.

I love that the interiors are so comfortable. Thanks Babe for stealing this shot while I was up getting some goodness.

Vikings Megamall can accommodate over 500 guests. This just gives you an idea as to how big the place really is. Now imagine how the buffet is sprawling through out this entire space and how fun it is when it’s full! It’s a boisterous and full of energy!

There are even private rooms for your to reserve. This is perfect for family get togethers.

Which leads me to my next important point when sharing my experience at Vikings!

Vikings has this thing called THE BIRTHDAY PROMO.

THE BIRTHDAY PROMO

1) Birthday celebrant can avail of a free meal when they eat at Vikings ON the actual day of their birthday.

2) Celebrant must bring any ORIGINAL and VALID government issued ID as support.

3) Must be accompanied by ONE FULL paying adult. (Think BIRTH-DATE with the hubby!)

4) Cannot be used in conjunction with any other promos or discounts.

This is like Vikings giving you your very own BIRTHDAY TREAT!

There are other promos too!

10+1 BIG GROUP PROMO (SM North EDSA and SM  MOA branches only)

1) Promo is open to guest with reservations of 22 people and above.

2) For every group of 10, an added guest gets to eat for free.

Example: 22-32 guests; 2 people eat for free, 33-43 guests; 3 people eat for free, 44-54 guests; 4 people eat for free

3) Cannot be used in conjunction with any other promos or discounts.

(SM Marikina has a similar promo where it’s 10+2. It follows along the same guidelines only you have 2 free people who can eat with you, instead of one.)

 Vikings is totally worth the trip from Alabang. It’s perfect for family gatherings, celebrations, and even Birth-Dates with the hubby. See you again soon Vikings!

Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGu Thinking about the day I got off the plane in LaGuardia, was picked up by one of my dearest friends and spent the entire day at the beach just catching up on LIFE.

It was a breezy day. Overcast. A little chilly to be in a suit, but it was perfect to catch up with my girl Candy. Sometimes, if you have chosen your friends well, you can pick up where you left off, as if no time has passed at all. 

Just like I did, sitting in that beach chair, feeling the mist of the Atlantic Ocean, and watching the seagulls pick and the seaweed.

Thank you Candy! For the friendship, for dropping everything to come and pick me up. Drive me around and have dinner with me and Fayth. 

Wishing I was sitting on this beach with you right now!!!

From cornbread, to mom’s potato salad, melt in your mouth whisky cured short ribs, homemade sausages and more. This #BrunchBuffet had @manila.gent and I rolling each other out the door!

Hard to choose which was our favorite from the feast that was set before us!

Brunch is inclusive of some delicious drinks, some Southern smoked and BBQ Fare, and a most colorful sweet dessert buffet by way of Milkshake Bar!

Missing my @migaventajado The short time I had w Missing my @migaventajado 

The short time I had with this guy in Florida was definitely something I will look back on. Wish we had more time to explore and do some fun things on our own.

Gah. How is this kid 20 years old already?
I remember when he was little and he loved peanut butter, chicken nuggets, Kylie Minogue, and sitting on my lap. He was squishy, in tune with my feelings, and I was always worried that he might have an asthma attack in his sleep so I would nebulize him every few hours. He always looked at new experiences with gratitude and wonder, much how he did while we were in FL together.😍

Praying he continues to strengthen his faith as he grows. 🙏🏻👨🏻🙌🏻

Miss you Miggy!
I’ll be sharing a little bit about my faith toda I’ll be sharing a little bit about my faith today with some university students. 

I have shared my testimony with other mommas, women in our community, and parents through this platform and others. It’s always come naturally and has often ended in tears of gratitude and joy for His faithfulness and unending LOVE. 

Of course, sharing parts of myself with others who may find it helpful is a privilege. But for some reason, I am always just a little bit anxious and apprehensive right before I am about to present parts of my story.

Perhaps today, I’m anxious because the format for how I will share is a bit different, I won’t have the comforts I have gotten used to since working from home. Instead I’ll print some cue cards for myself so I can stay on task and within my given time period. 

I love the opportunity this endeavor has given me, to reflect on His presence in my life. He’s been there all along, even if I didn’t know it. I love the understanding that I can have these intimate conversations with my Creator knowing that He has plans for me. He loves me. He knows all the hairs on my head. And that He knows what I need to fulfill my purpose.

This doesn’t mean I won’t have challenges, or times when I feel broken in my life and faith. In fact, there have been many times where my faith has faltered. All of it just means that He is fortifying me through each and every lesson. He is allowing me to create a greater understanding of who I am, where I am supposed to be, and how He will get me there.

Do you share parts of your faith here?
What does that look like?
