I
went straight to Traders Hotel right after I visited Ocean Park Manila. I
initially didn’t plan to eat there that night because my tummy was acting up
when I woke up. But after the Ocean Park visit, I was tired and hungry! It’s a
good thing that Metrodeal vouchers can be printed anywhere. Once I got my
vouchers, I called Traders to reserve a table for two.
We
arrived at Traders with our MetroDeal vouchers around 7:30 pm. We headed directly to Latitude and the
restaurant hostess checked my reservation. I gave her my vouchers and I only
had to sign and give my contact details. She then guided us to our table and we
got our free drinks.
The
place was not crowded at all unlike other buffet places such as Buffet 101 or
Vikings. It was so refreshing not to bump into other people while getting food
on my plate. There’s lot of elbow room making it a comfortable for people
dining there. To add to that, the servers were nice, efficient and
non-intrusive, as expected with deals offered at MetroDeal.
The
buffet is not really that big. The buffet is separated into several sections - soups,
fruits, desserts, salad and food for grilling. In the middle, you will see the different
viands of food plus rice. Right behind that, you will see the pork and beef
roast as well as some Mexican food. Never mind the size of the buffet since the
food is delicious!
Since
I was extremely hungry, I got barbecue baby back pork ribs and braised pork
belly first. Mama Mia! Both were so yummy. I wanted to eat more but there were
so many dishes that needed my attention. I tried a lot of food – Singaporean chicken
barbecue, grilled shrimps, pork and roast beef, kare-kare, shrimp siomai, tacos
and pasta. I can truly say that I enjoyed everything.
The
desserts that I tried were so great that I almost forgot that I was eating at a
buffet. Oh, I loved their crème brulee! It’s actually my absolute favorite
dessert. I wanted to have another serving but sadly they didn’t refill. I had
to content myself with their pudding (which was absolutely amazing by the way).
I
will never get tired of eating at buffets. I guess as long as I don’t do it excessively
since I know that too much of anything is bad. Thanks to Metrodeal, I get to
try different hotel buffets. You can try these hotel buffets too. Cheers to
living a good life!
