**buffet price as of sept. 2017 is p240 without drinks. bottomless iced tea is p50.**
place:
open the doors and you will find yourself transported into the spanish era- old frames, antique decors, carved wooden chairs and tables, that homey ambience. clean and presentable. yep, it's instagrammable.
service:
the waiters were very polite and attentive, i have no complaints.
food:
my favorite was the lumpiang shanghai and my least favorite, the crablets. the former was served hot and crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside. the crablets were crispy too, except that it tasted bland and needed more salt maybe? ugh, i hated it. all the other filipino dishes were okay -not the best, butgoodenough for it's price. i was satisfied with the viands. the dessert? not so much. there really wasn't much, just two lousy looking little squares (biko and maja) and a do-it-yourself halo2x which was mehhh.
here are the reasons for my deducted points:
-1= disappointing dessert. if they'd add icecream to the halo2x, i'd reduce it to -0.5.
-0.5 = the place is inaccessible to the riding public. i mean sure, you can walk going there but when we went out at 9:30pm, the street was already dark and scary (the other side is a residential area, and i'm not talking about a classy one if you know what i mean). thank heavens there's uber.
thank you for reading. hope it helps.
