Spiral Lunch Date

So I'm back again at Spiral but this time with the boyfie <3

And yes, we availed the CashCash Pinoy voucher again for this lunch teehee

check out my previous post on Spiral here :)

Cheese Room <3

Photo-op with the cheese selection available ;)

Boyfie loves Camembert but I'm totally clueless with cheese ~im only familiar with cream cheese, cheddar, parmesan and mozarella! lol

So here he is posing with the cheese connoisseur lol

Here's what the chef recommended.

She basically, put all the best-sellers in this plate haha

Too bad, I forgot the names of these =/

Some sides to go with our cheese <3

Super love pairing the cheese with pear jam then I'll bite in some walnut! YUM

Got some wine too.

TBH, I've never really eaten cheese with wine before so I wanted to give it a try.

The server suggested the perfect wine to go with our cheese tho I forgot to take note again of the name hihi sowee!

our wine and cheese platter! :))

boyfie got the green pea soup

while i got the pumpkin.

And I think the green pea tasted better!

my mixed salad..with frog legs haha

assorted sushi

assorted grilled meat

love the sausage!

duck and char sui

seafood noodles

indian selection

Chef's recommendation: seafood marinara

This was ok. Wasn't able to finish this, got the "umay" factor after a bit.
Also, I know pasta should be al dente but I really prefer my pasta to be a bit on the medium side of softness. 

Would you believe we stayed in Spiral for 3.5 hours, consuming everything we can??!!

It was already the last call for the buffet so we rushed towards the dessert area to get some goods! LOL

our dessert plates

Spiral's truffles and pralines are really a MUST.

Make sure to get some when you're there!

I'm planning to bring my tupperware the next time I visit!haha *kidding*

Don't miss their ice cream selection as well!

Well look who we saw dining there too, former Manila city Mayor Lito Atienza.

FYI, we also saw him the last time we ate here for lunch lol

I guess he loves Spiral too!

some ootd photo op at the pool area

Lunch Buffet: Spiral at Sofitel Hotel

Ladies and gents, I present to you the creme de la creme of hotel buffets in Manila...

Spiral at the Sofitel Hotel

Voucher Price: P1600 valued at P2450 via CashCashPinoy

Before you get excited or something, let me just tell you that this post is a bit disappointing since I wasn't able to take pictures of the whole buffet area :( So sorry!

As much as I wanted to, there was this man in a black suit (think men in black lol) who suddenly gestured to me that taking photos is not allowed =/

Nevertheless, I was able to take A LOT of pics before he scolded me..especially the Chocolaterie/Desserts area so I hope you like that part :)

Follow the chef!

There were a lot of people during our visit!

I think half of those are also voucher holders lol

The Spiral Staircase and look there's a magical bicycle!lol

With my good college friend ;)

Thanks to her we got a good table near the staircase and the food lol

And after an hour, former Manila city mayor Lito Atienza, was seated next to us! Wow

With my forever date, Mom haha

Dining hall near the Asian Selection

Basically, Spiral offers 21 Dining Ateliers o__O

Can you believe that???

If you ask me, even if I take "a bit" of everything, I don't think I'd be able to taste all of the dishes that they offer in a single visit!!!

To start off, The "Filipino" Atelier

Korean

Mom didn't like the Kimchi =/

Every time she gets some Kimchi from the buffets we've visited, she always gets disappointed lol

Thai

Chinese

Steam baskets

Asian Noodles

Peking Duck Oven

Hot Japanese

Salad and Appetizer

L'Epicerie

Spiral is the only buffet that offers a wide range of cheese and cold cuts selection in their buffet!

Make sure not to miss this!

Creamery

Filipino rice cakes and a lost choco cake haha

Make your own Halo Halo

Fruits

Chocolaterie

Chocolate and Green tea/Pistachio(?) fountain

Candy/Chocolate drawers anyone? ;)

Unlimited truffles and Pralines!!!!!

Even by just eating a lot of these, you've already gotten your money's worth lol

La Patisserie

That chocolate cake on the left is gooey and deliciously sinful!

Eiffel Tower Chocolates

Perfect for Christmas

Me and the famous Olive bread lol

To be honest, I didn't like it. I don't know why everyone's raving about this.

It's bland and a bit hard =/

My first plate

Cheese and Cold cuts nom nom

2nd: Salad plate

3rd plate

My 4th: Sushi plate YUM

5th!!!

6th: "chocoholics anonymous" plate haha

and my last, dark choco with pistachios and cake bites.

I know I got another ice cream flavor but I can't seem to remember haha sorry

Verdict:

FOOD

Excellent and a wiiiiiiiiide range of choices!

Be sure that your extremely hungry when you visit here.

It's worth it.

Faves were the cheese selection, sushi, peking duck and the chocolates!

Too bad I wasn't aware that they had unlimited Foie Gras in the French section :(

SERVICE

Hmmm I guess there were just too many guests that the servers didn't notice that my plates were already piling up on the table =/

So I'll give them a 3/5 for that

Sorry, getting my plate once I'm done with it is really important for me.

Would you like to eat in a table with messed up leftovers? I don't think so

Not a pretty sight hehe

THE MAIN QUESTION

Will I go back?

I NEED TO and I MUST!

As I mentioned earlier, I wasn't able to take pics of the whole area!

And I need to get my hands on those foie gras!heeheehee

Aside from that, I wasn't able to get me some steak =/

So yea, I shall definitely return soon!
