Walking around Greenbelt 5, where another branch of Gelatissimo is at, we couldn't fight the urge to step inside and eat. Though in the back of my head, I was actually hoping that the names are still Valentine's-ish just like in their Trinoma branch. I wanted to try "Far Too Confused" but they didn't have it anymore/then.
The Real Taste of Italia |
Here are some pics of my visit to Vikings at SM Marikina
Are you ready for a Feast from the Sea? :))
I thought I was but apparently I wasn't. hahaha

The selections were so plenty we didn't know where to start.
Sushi and sashimi, of course. |
Cold cuts, cheeses and caviar. |
Sorry, fish eggs. -_- |
Tenderloin Steak |
Tsokolate Batirol |
I liked that white cheese (whatever is the name) and almonds. |
Just look how full my first plate was and not wanting to get anymore on the last. hahaha |
The view from our seat. |
Yogurt Soup Too bad it's not yet frozen. |
And the desserts I regret not having. My stomach can't handle them anymore. |
Another serving of yogurt soup (it supposed to be frozen yogurt), chocolate and cheesecake. |
Oolong Tea |
I didn't even get taste everything, yet I walked out of there with super full stomach.
I used to wonder whether or not paying 888+ for a buffet was worth it, it's more expensive from the usual 400+, right? But seeing the wide selections in Vikings, it's definitely worth it. Really. I was actually so overwhelmed by the choices this time and I stuck with my usual picks. I would love to eat there again to try the other food selections out, there are still so much left to try.
And oh, very accommodating staffs and chefs they have there.
Eastwood, bah-beh!
Sorry, super babaw ng kaligayahan ko pero at least diba, natutuwa.

Kind of excited to go here but like the last time that I went here, it was raining again.
Seriously, rain?
Nice shot, isn't it? Or not? hahaha I am aware that Bigoli occupied the space of that Italian restaurant where a friend and I ate too much breadsticks a few years back. They were free and the Ate kept giving us whenever she passed by our seat. I wasn't expecting loads of garlic breadsticks this time but we were immediately given free breadsticks as we formed our line to order. Hey, seriously the best breadsticks ever especially when served hot. Unlimited pa. Almost a year after, it's Doppio Deligioso once again on a different branch. This was the Valentine's day treat last year, fyi. Time fleets! -_- The price though is already P 390.00 for all of these. |
Ang masasabi ko lang,
"Kuya, penge pa ng tinapay!"
At Maginhawa.
You'd actually find a lot of restos at Teacher's Village, it's a great place for food tripping because of the varieties and most of the times, the restaurants there are budget-friendly.
Here's one: Friuli Trattoria

Angel Hair ... I fogot the name. Good for 2-3 persons. See the tomatoes? I like my pastas a little bit sour or the real Italian style. This one didn't disappoint! |
Half Hawaiian and Half Cheese Steak Thin crust! I like. |
For me though, these Mozzarella sticks were the highlight of this meal. All these cost us around P 550.00 (?) Not sure though. |
Menu, obviously. |
I liked the design of their tables, there are marbles on them but they make the table uneven so the plate moves whenever you slice food. |
Chicken Breast Parmigiana (P 185.00) I don't know about you but I think one order is good for two persons already. Love this! |
This is a slice of a cheesecake variant, which name I forgot, but I didn't like this one. Kahit na cheesecake siya. |
Picture Heavy.
And I've gotten heavier too.
This is the first time I ate here at Sambokojin, there's a new branch at West Avenue so it's closer to home. No need to travel to Eastwood and EDSA.
My friends asked me if we should make a reservation since they did when they ate at Eastwood branch, I told her no since it's lunchtime weekday anyway. But the reason why I didn't was because I was too lazy to call. Good thing we arrived there first, yes, we opened the restaurant! (But, I guess, to be safe, just make reservations)
We were so shy as we entered, they were all like paying attention to us. It was the first time for me to experience that there was someone grilling our food in an eat-all-you-can and he also introduced the sauces on the table and the buffet rules. It made us feel uneasy (Sa fastfood kasi madalas eh. Hindi sanay ng inaasikaso. Haha) but I commend that still, the service was great! Also, we need not to ask for water refills and table clean-up, they were really attentive.
No macro shots but still okay, I guess.
I had to make it work.

And the grilling and the "gluttony-ing" shall begin. |
Those are the sauces. especially loved their very own, Sambokojin Sauce |
Several kinds of tempura to choose from and tofu with beef. |
First time eating sushi with kiwi fruit. |
Ssang Chu Sam!! Loved the anchovies and sweet potato from the Korean banchan section. Gusto ko pa ngang kumuha eh, nakalimutan ko lang. |
there are tiger prawns, super sarap lang. I heart prawns! |
Miso Soup They'd ask which soup would you prefer, we told him to decide for us and gave us this. Undecided first-timers! |
Kamameshi Rice I would always refrain from eating rice whenever it's an eat-all-you-can buffet, but this is a different thing. |
And they served us sauces, tig-isang container na maliit lahat. I mean, nasa table lang naman but they poured it for us still. Oh, so pampered! |
Tadah! Clean table once again. Time for desserts! |
I loooooooved everything on this plate. And there were more choices but these were all I could handle. Grabe! Busog! |
That awkward moment when your desserts have better lovelife than you. Haha |
Showing off my nail art... baliw lang. |
Tip namin? 4.00 Haha. Sorry naman, mga batang walang sobrang pera na. Today, a friday and lunchtime, the rate was P 499.00 per person. |
First time, and hopefully not the last. There are still way too many foods to try.
