The Vikings have arrived! An early Valentines treat for me and my piggy "Jai"
This is the best breakfast buffet I've tried so far. Our food date budget was a bit higher than our usual P500.00 budget for special dates. We made an exception this love month- celebrating our monthsary and valentines.
Our good friends, Ian and Phoebe suggested that we try Vikings Buffet. We were game but our wallets wasn't ready for the challenge. Luckily, one of my favorite groupon sites - DealGrocer featured a promo from Vikings. P470 only for the Lazy Breakfast Buffet - that's 35% off its original value! So, we made our reservation for Feb. 11, 2012 (first day of validity) via text. We suggest that you contact them either through facebook or via mobile, much easier and faster confirmation rather than calling their landline.
We arrived past 9:30 am and there were a few customers dinning that time. I was really hungry and couldn't wait for a food porn experience. :D
I only took a few photos (sorry guys, was really really hungry that time)
The food was delish! Yummy goodness.
Here are some of the food items we've tried:
Tenderloin Steak- drizzled with red wine sauce, I got 7 slices of steak! Cooked medium-well, easy to slice through the meat. No flapping of wings needed
Bacon- crispy, a bit oily but GOOD! - (realization: maybe I won't be a vegan after all)
Tuna Sashimi- was ok. Good enough
Hakaw- thumbs down for me, dry
Yogurt- Makes me want to take their yogurt machine home
Beef Tapa- Sweet, I suggest you eat this with vinegar
Beef Kabab- dry (didn't like it)
Pizza- was ok, thin crust
Leche flan- yummy (jai)
The buffet was not limited to breakfast items- all of the stations were open such as:
Japanese (sushi, sashimi, miso soup, shabu-shabu, fried rice ++)
Chinese (dimsum (hakaw, sharks fin), congee ++)
Grill/Roast (Ham, Tenderloin Steak) - lamb available at lunch
Seafood (lots of variety)
Pizza & Pasta
Dessert Station (Frozen Yogurt, Shakes, Halo2, Chocolate Fondue ++)
Cold Cuts
Drinks (lots of variety)
And many more... This buffet is so "SULIT", worth every centavo. We didn't eat lunch after eating here. Hitting two birds with one stone!
We're definitely coming back. With promo or without. Maybe on my birthday :D

Walker Map: From Crossing Edsa-Central (under MRT Shaw Blvd)
1. Ride a bus going to Mall of Asia.
2. P25.00 bus fare.
3. Touchdown MOA!
4. Walk to Vikings Luxury Buffet Restaurant
A little tip (if bringing your own car) Vikings is not inside MOA Bldg. B but By the bay, Seaside Boulevard. We parked at SMX and had to walk going there. It took us at least 15-20 min. of walking. Whew.
Bite Cost: P700 - P1,200/person
Munch Worthy: Yes! Yummy food. 10 bites!
Walker repeat: Definitely. Friendly staff and fast service
Our date might not be romantic or extravagant, no candlelit dinner or string quartet or bouquet of flowers, for us the most important thing is being with someone who laughs with you, does crazy things with you and loves everything about you and stays with you no matter what.
Love Vikings? Date plans this love month? Share your story :D
Just comment away if you have questions. Thanks! ***Vikings did not pay me to write this blog.
