My Food Adventure at Vikings BF Parañaque | iMunch
Last January 30th, I got to channel my inner Astrid and headed to BF Parañaque to get a taste of Vikings Buffet. The place is hustling and bustling with people, all excited cause finally, Vikings has come to a nearer place for the southeners.
They have breads and different cheeses on one side of this station, and out of this country appetizers in another.
The look of the place is very classy and yet it also reminds me of the color scheme you see in Berk... You know, from the movie How To Train a Dragon... :D There's also an alfresco dining place which Pichi and I got cause the weather is nice and slightly windy(just the way I like it) , and here you can enjoy the scenery of the city and maybe even have a bit of a smoke.
And of course THE FOOD!!! They have covered almost all cuisines of the world, from Asian, to European, American, and even those cuisines from the Arabian countries.
Nacho Station!
You also have your fresh seafood here, ready to be grilled!
And speaking of seafood, here are Viking's selection of sushi and sashimi!
Here's Viking's signature Sushi Roll..
Leg of lamb and tender beef anybody?
That Belly-Chon has some seriously KRRRIISPY skin. I can attest to that. :D
And here's what they have for dessert...
A halo halo station..
Different cake slices like cheesecake, red velvet, coffee jelly shooters, fruits(at the bottom) and many more!
You can also have a big slice of cake if you're up to it :D
Feeling a bit more closer to home? Those sapin sapin and Pichi Pichi looks so good to eat!
An eat all you can candy and fondue selection; every kid's dream come to life. :D
I wanted to be a bit more adventurous than usual so what I got are those food that are unknown by my tastebuds... And boy was every bite worth it!
Here's what's on my plate:
Clockwise starting from the one on the stick is a Kebab stick that's infused with arabian spices and some curry that gives it a bit more edge to the taste. The meat is perfectly tender and moist.
Yep, that's a pizza slice, and instead of going for the usual red sauce I went for the white sauce+lots of cheese, ham and bacon. So yummy and is also full of flavor from the herbs used with this dish.
The next is a few slices of the leg of lamb, and it is tender, well seasoned and so flavorful from the herbs that are used (I can taste a hint of rosemary and thyme in the mix) and also it's not gamey, therefore it didn't really need the mint jelly that they have. Kinda reminds me of the lamb that I tasted in Fratini's.
The onion rings are your usual white onion that's breaded and fried to perfection, and next one after that are some herbed veggies in butter. I got them cause I needed that cleansing palette and to better taste the food that's to come.
Next up is that Belly-Chon I was telling you about. You don't really need any sauce/gravy for this as it already is oozing with that yummy porky flavor. And that skin is so crispy good!
The next meaty slice after that is the Vietnamese Pork Belly, which got me going inside for another round cause I loved the sweet and savory flavor that it has, probably due to the different spices used. You can tell it's Asian cause it has that distinct savory taste that we all know all and love.
Time to eat some sushi.. heheh! Vikings have added some serious twists to some sushi like Mt. Fuji (the one below the sashimi) that has grated Parmesan on top and the Tempura sushi which is basically sushi deep fried I guess for that crispy texture outside and the sweet sushi taste inside. :D
And here is pichi's all meat platter, consisting of the US Beef I pictured earlier, slices of Leg of lamb, a couple of sticks of the kebab, a few slices of the Vietnamese Pork Belly, Belly-Chon and Roasted Chicken :D
For dessert we had a slice of Blueberry Cheesecake, Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting on top, Meringue topped with Cherry slices and inside is filled with tarty Strawberry (very yummy and quite balanced in taste for a dessert), a cup of Leche Flan, Coffee Jelly and Mocha Mousse.
For drinks they also have a wide variety up for you guys, from different fruit juices, to sodas, sago at gulaman(which I got), beer and you can also order wine(added price).
Vikings does not just have the food to boast, it's waiters, chefs and other staff are very friendly and accommodating as well. And for a price of Php 688.00 per adult paying customer for a lunch buffet, I'd say that it's so sulit with the wide array of food up for grabs!
Vikings wide selection of wines and my OOTD for the Fusion Concert later on. :D
Thanks Ms. Raquel! :D
