Vikings Buffet at MOA ♥ ♥

 

 

I’ve been hearing about this new eating galore place in the MOA complex. Naturally, our gluttonic family just has to try it out.

 

We come without reservations so there’s a 30-minute wait, which I use wisely to check out the spread, take some photos, and plan my strategic attack.

Japanese Station with sashimi, sushi, colorful and creative rolls

 

Dimsum Station

 

Chinese Station

 

Fish Balls and Tofu Station

 

Hot Pot Station

 

Grilling Station

 

Carving Station

 

Pizza Station – my favorite!

 

And look what I spy a few plates down – truffle paste!

 

Dessert Station

 

More desserts and frozen yogurt station

 

Fruits and fruit juices

 

The restaurant can comfortably seat 600 people

 

There’s an outdoor dining area, too, for those who prefer fresh air and views of evening sky

 

No wonder many special occasions are celebrated here.

Chinese family celebrating a birthday, too. Obvious ba?

 

I love that Vikings puts customer convenience first. They’ve installed washing stations around the restaurant so diners don’t need to go all the way to the restrooms to clean
their hands before attacking the buffet again. Absolutely no momentum lost.

 

The restrooms are also very kid-friendly

 

Okay, now onto to the most important part of the night – MY PLATES. Hehehe!

 

After seeing this warning sign, I make sure to get only what I can finish.

 

So this is me, without takaw-tingin:

Salmon sashimi, assorted rolls, octopus salad, chicken feet

 

More salmon sashimi

 

Are these scallops or some other type of mollusk? Whatever they are, they are good.

 

Pizza, salmon carpaccio, paella negra, oxtail stew, Hungarian sausage, truffle paste

 

I smother truffle paste on my perfectly thin crust pizza. This is my favorite of the night.

 

Baked oysters – lack flavor

 

Fried radish cake – delicious!

 

Taro bun – just because I love purple

 

Mocha roll, chocolate roll, ube flan, ube ice cream with oreo crumbs, chocolate chip cookie with not a single chocolate chip. The desserts are rather ordinary. Except for the ube ice cream from Big Scoop, everything else is quite forgettable.

 

                 Fruits and sago – major fail                                          Frozen yogurt – too sweet

 

Special drink of the day, Choco Banana Peanut Butter Shake.
It’s so good I finish 2 glasses!

 

I am proud to announce that we didn’t have to pay even 1 centavo for leftover food.

I love restaurants that implement leftover charges.

Gives me great excuse to eat like a Viking.

 

Thank you, Uncle Rolly and Auntie Sabeth!
