Lunch Buffet: Cafe Jeepney at Intercontinental Manila,Makati

One of my my mom's recent hobby recently is getting these promo lunch/dinner hotel buffet vouchers at deal buying sites.

So yea basically, we've been dining buffet hotel style every week for 3 months now (sosyalan) lol

yes, my diet has died =,(

So for my first hotel buffet entry, I present to y'all..

Cafe Jeepney, at the InterContinental Hotel Manila

Voucher price: P960 valued at P1891

"The entrance" lol

Upon entering, this grilling/main dish station will be the first thing to greet you 

Bread station

I don't really get bread when I dine at buffets but maybe I should no?hehe

Salad Station! I got myself some talong and mangga ~yum!

Sushi station. 

Salmon = Mom's ecstacy hahaha ;)

Fancy some steak?

Meat and seafood for grilling

Mongolian area

(Not on picture) Other Filipino dishes served were Kare-Kare and Lechon Kawali.

Dessert station

Assorted cakes and sweets

This is the most sosyal (posh) looking mango float I've ever seen in my life! lol

Turon (Banana Spring Roll with Caramel sauce)

Tried cake pops for the first time, YUMMY!!

I have simple taste when it comes to hotel desserts.

I don't go for the cakes nor the fondue.

I always, ALWAYS go for the Bread Pudding <3

NO bread Pudding = LAME hehe

Crepe Samurai

Halo-Halo

Le Familia ;)

and here's some of the dishes I got...

Been a salad junkie for a while now ;)

My sad, dry looking steak.

Didn't really enjoy this one. Had to flood it with steak sauce just so I could devour it =/

And yea finished everything with my pudding!! poured some chocolate sauce on it from the fondue lol

Verdict:

FOOD

I'd give it a 5/10. Not so much variety especially with the hot dishes. There was only one pasta (baked macaroni) and most meals were regular Filipino dishes.

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against local dishes but the thing is, if I'm gonna dine at a hotel, I'd expect international cuisine.

Also, in the voucher they mentioned servings of Seafood Roulade, Lamb Tagine, Mussels etc. but they were no where to be found :(

And did I mention my steak was dry too?

SERVICE

Great service. Staff were efficient especially getting empty plates at the table lol

and one unique thing is that every time you'd get up and leave the table, they would fold your napkins so when you come back, it's neat again. *thumbs up*

THE MAIN QUESTION

Will I go back?

Hmmmm...If someone would treat me, yes. Otherwise, no.
