Mga tol last week naglunch kami sa Spiral Restaurant, heto po ang review natin... toast::
Spiral Restaurant
Address: Sofitel Hotel, near PICC, Roxas Blvd, Pasay City
Value for money: 4/5
Budget dito around P2k per head. P1.3k kasi yung buffet price +++ (service charge, tax, drinks pa)
Sulit na din siya for the price andami kasi, it's billed as the longest buffet dito sa Pinas.
Sa umpisa plano ko maka 3 rounds plus 1 round of dessert, pero naka 2 rounds lang ako ng meals at 1 round ng dessert, di ko pa naubos lahat ng nasa plate ko.
Nagwater lang kami para more space for food, mas mura pa. Pag nag iced tea ka kasi almost P200 at refillable din, pero sayang naman di ba?
First round ko... naubos ko pa ito... may paella, tahong, Shitaake mushrooms, mushroom na may nakapaikot na bacon, grilled salmon, at parang baked mac yung luto...

Second round... hirap na din ako maubos itong plate na to... may noodles with Laksa (very spicy) soup, yung nasa separate plate 6 na shrimp tempura yata yun, hehe saka mga vegie tempura... sa main plate ko yung potatoes, roast beef, dumplings, eel, a few Persian foodstuff...

Taste/ Food Variety: 4.5/5
Superb naman ang lasa ng lahat ng natry ko. Of course, sa dami, depende din sa panlasa mo. Paborito ko yung roast beef nila at pasta. Pwede rin naman na style na pakonti konti lang ng lahat para masabi mo na nakatry ka ng mga exotic food. Nakatry ako ng fried eel, laksa noodle soup, mga Persian dishes, at kung anu anong klase ng cheese.
There's something for everyone. Ang laki ng variety dito. May Chinese (dumplings, noodle bar [pili ka ng kind ng noodle, kind ng soup at mga sahog], peking duck, chinese roast pork, asado),

Sushi, fresh sashimi, ebi, salmon, sukiyaki, etc), western (roast beef, lamb, glazed potatoes, etc), seafood (fresh oysters, shrimp, mussels, [may isa silang ice sculpture na isang tower ng crustaceans, hehe, pinalilibutan ng shrimps] crabs, lobsters, all sorts of fish), korean (didn't try it, hehe),

Italian (may pasta bar, pizza bar, etc), mediterranean (kebabs, curries, shawarma, etc), Pinoy (may paella, vegies, etc) and may iba pa na baka nakalimutan ko lang, hehe
May dessert buffet din, fresh fruits, andaming variety ng cakes, churros, atbp. Warning lang, pagdating ng dessert, mahihirapan ka na talaga umubos, hehe :D
Ambiance: 5/5
Ang haba ng buffet line. Since based siya sa hotel, maganda talaga yung place. Divided din siya into several smaller "themed" areas. Yung mga female waitresses mga good looking din. ;)
Others:
We had lunch at dumating kami at around 1:30 pm. Nagclose na din yung buffet at 2:30 pm. Sinasabi naman nila 10 mins before magclose yung buffet.
Pwede din kayo mag uwi ng chocolate chip cookies nila, tissue lang katapat, panalo. ;)
