Manila’s Most Expensive Buffet!! Filipino Fine Dining!! 

No you will not pay , you will rob / j

Yes it is..worth every penny that you'll spend to that place..the ambiance of the place is really huge and nice..i miss to eat and stay there

there are more cheaper but almost same atmosphere and variety of foods. Most hotels has buffet in manila

I miss eating at this place 😢 I miss Philippines food

i would also spend my hypothetical 90$ there

So delicious, right?

You can actually do a lot of crazy stuffs with them and won't even bat an eye.

like what crazty?@@skyandraetitular1578

I ate without asking to cook or reheat, I did not enjoy lobster crab and mussel its cold

Last time i went, they said they don't do that anymore. Instead, they have the butter garlic sauce already prepared and they just pour it on top of the seafood. I don't enjoy the crab or lobster here because they're usually overcooked

Did u try the fog rauh

You were the cheapest date in the room

How do you justify spending that much on a non-vegan (by default) buffet? You must be rich and bored 😆🙃

​@@diggin4deals if you just know how much vegan ingredients cost in Philippines. I was gonna make a vegan dessert but the prices stopped lol

Good to know since my husband is vegan. And yes, vegan food is expensive. Happy to know that he can enjoy the buffet too . Thanks

Hospitality in the Philippines is way better compare to other countries.

That's a cool story, thanks for sharing! Hope your tavern is doing well 👍

Where is this part of manila . Am interested to get there and dine

Thanks for sharing your experience. I can imagine it also is an important place as you met your wife there. I'm from New Zealand which is similar to Australia and not far away.😊

Ironically no Filipino food in the buffet line

@@danialroslan1531 Well.. yeah. Because they're in the Philippines lol. It would be kind of redundant.

@@vi6885 I've been to many buffets. Local food still has their own section. For example, all premium buffets I went in Southeast Asia like Kuala Lumpur, Singapore & Indonesia have their local section. You can see it for yourself in this channel. Sonny himself has uploaded buffets in other countries.

hope you have a great time!

I would love to visit the Cook Islands 🇨🇰 one day!

@@xandradice I’m from Aitutaki Cook Islands

sonny loved asia not only philippines because hes married to an asian woman wc he brings along on hes travel vlog

i think i definitely don't know what my friend look like. honesty is a given in communication but if you must highlight that you're being honest now, means you lie a lot in life? btw i think my friend is the one in the back cleaning. I can honestly say I'm lying.

@@purplecitygrow2233 you are weird and insecure...

I have to agree, the food and variety was very good.

🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓​@@purplecitygrow2233

​@karlwithak. Yeah but then you'd have to travel which beats the idea of going to a buffet -- one stop eating

WTF, there's even a random dude passing by yelling "BALUTTTT" in a $100 buffet? LMAO!!! Those things are like a quarter an egg lol

Of course it smell like rich people even the middle class couldn't afford an almost 100$ buffet.

It's the English. The man uses proper English

Well my English is very poor so whatever’s he says is ok to me, no expecting he to say anything else that I my self though 😅lol.

​@@ninzki143I think that's an employee?

be specific

@@badfoody most buffets in manila really.

chatgpt aaa comment

Sounds like chat gpt

Thats absolutely epic

Not true because I was part of the team that created the concept.

@@Cuongalpha ill believe the original commenter, not some reply guy lol

youre the nike check logo of sofitel?

I believe none of you and you all have no proof of your lies

Balut is duck or chicken eggs with the chick inside it right? Lol. It’s actually not bad at all. But u gotta eat the very young eggs where the chicks don’t have any hair on em 🤣💯

this is a classy buffet, no need to recommend vinegar used on Cheap Fish balls from the slums of Manila. No need to hype a vinegar.

@@eduardochavacano cane vinegar is still used in this buffet too. Those used in the streets are spiced to the vendor's preferences and limited resources. Here, you can use the same base cane vinegar, and add to your liking (like say, add more garlic and onions while reducing to add sugar) or use a different kind of pepper or chilli instead.

@@eduardochavacanobrain dead take

Its not rare its just expensive in the city .but in the provinces its not expensive

@@eduardochavacano nah ur foolin around dude take ur opinion with u coz spicy vinegar with garlic compliments well with those seafoods

Once you should visit you won't regret it. I would love to visit Cebu, Manila.

I like this food!

You should try nikko saigon buffet then... think it beats this one

@@nimatajik9605Nikko Saigon has much more seafood selections. But Spiral has much more variety, especially their wine. Also can’t beat Filipino service.

@@imnotchikao6317 - I do like Seafood, but I seriously don't mind having a variety of foods that do NOT center around seafood. Baked Salmon is nice, or a tender White fish fillet, but I don't go to a buffet to eat 24 oysters, or 3 Lobsters or 4 King Crab Legs or BBQ squid, etc... I go to a buffet to enjoy a worldwide selection of authentic flavours Whilst Manila has many of the aforementioned delights, it's the extensive range of authentic flavours that does it for me.

$90 is an expensive buffet for a westerner as well.

YES!! I so agree 🥰

Kings 2:24 @@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist_

Great recovery on the value my man

@@karlwithak.Certainly not 😂

​@@karlwithak.I bet you just wish but certainly not. 🤣 I went there many years ago. Spiral Buffet is very exquisite compared to other buffets, even the one from Okada.

To be fair, Ive yet to see a buffet with epic roast chicken

quezon city tons of great food in tomas morato and panay area. go to chef laudico Guevarras restaurant in the nearby city of Sanjuan, best filipino buffet in town

Visit the parks, islands, old churches theres the mount banahaw too.

@@pandacchristianv.2560 Thank you!👍

Tablo Kitchen is our go to in Quezon City... It's in Diliman area... Modern Filipino Comfort food is being served here... If you haven't tried Bacolod chicken inasal, one of their famous chain restaurants is in Quezon City, in Kalayaan Avenue area, named JT's Manukan Grille... Part owned by famous Ben&Ben siblings 😊

Keep safe and enjoy ❤

Welcome to my beautiful country

go to airport with ticket

So how does it work Is the price include any dish or do u have to pay per dish and limited to were u can eat ?? And what u can eat ??

@@michaelcurtis3830you can eat everything at the buffet

@@michaelcurtis3830 The price includes all dishes and tea as well. Everything you see in this video is covered in the price.

@karlwithak. you can't lol

@karlwithak. You can't LOL.

Soy with chili is so Filipono. Probably add some vinegar as well🔥

I remember old French people eating soup and when they were done, poured wine in the same plate right after. No cleaning. It was called chabrot or chavrot. French food customs can be weird at times, but often rather delicious.

It was tasty

@starks1974 Me too 🥰🤤😋!

Its nice

Was it red on top before? I see now it's blue on top. Nice catching that.

@@MsKRRey yes it was..

I don't know, China sure is trying hard.

I second this.. soy sauce and vinegar (toyo and suka/pinakurat) with some chillis are the go to food dip of the Filipinos, esp. for grilled and fried foods. 😊

love the sauce, but the crab looks scary.

@@eduardochavacano ohh i love them, they have a body filled with meat. Everytime I can go home to the Philippines, eating this is always on the bucket list.

Including the almost hatched duck?

​@@alexandergreenfield91 it's not as bad as you think. you feel extra bad because it was a fetus but you have no problem with other meat that was alive before? a bit hypocritical ain't you?

Love watching your vlogs watching from New York.👍❤️

nothing beats the Alavar sauce.

Sorry sir but maybe you were brainwashed or just fed by wrong info.. Manila or Metro Manila is composed of 16 cities and is arguably not the most densely populated city/metro as compared to Bangladesh or some cities in South Asia or Africa..

Sorry sir but every hotel in the Philippines has security, mall, school, offices not bcoz over populated but it's bcoz for emergency purposes, for the security of the establishment and the security of the people especially the visitors, tourist, foreigners. I assure u Philippines is a peaceful and loving country. Top priority of Philippine government is the security of the Filipino people. ❤❤❤

@@glendaraguin9086 The problem with your statement is that if it is peaceful and safe, you don't need security. You only need security if it isn't safe. Now, security makes it safe and I had a great time. But with high population comes higher crime rates. With high relative poverty, you see higher crime rates. You can follow the statistics. BUT you are correct in that the Philippines is very good at looking out for the visitors.

​​@@100john4 we always have security even in safe place like malls here since forever. It's just the way it is. We even have securities in high end place even if it's safe. It could also be for shoplifters. Or checking your bag when you go inside. We even have security in convenience stores.

@@100john4 no that's idiotic, in the West stores are constantly being looted because you have the "illusion" of being safe by not seeing security people anywhere. Then you guys get mad at immigrants for ruining things and stores have to put their merchandise under lock and key, but for us we already know that bad elements can come from anywhere, so shopkeepers, malls and commercial establishments will invest in security and deterrents rather than let thieves or bandits threaten potential customers. You westerners just believe in the fantasy of safety until there's a concert being bombed in Manchester because you guys don't wanna see security guys everywhere. We haven't had any bombings in Metro Manila for at least 2 decades. Westerners get raped and harrassed by foreign migrants but that sh!t doesn't fly in the Philippines. Don't lecture us about safety when your own Western cities are full of mass shooters and looters.
