The Alley by Vikings

The Alley by Vikings

I started with several pieces of Maki, Tempura and fish fillet. To go with these mouth watering food delights, I had a plateful of Yakisoba.

Next, I asked for Roast Beef. I had moved up to the heavier class. The food attendant opened a big cauldron, and with stainless tongs, took a piece of meat and placed it on a sizzling plate. He then poured gravy. It was so good and satisfying that I asked for another serving. This was followed by a sizzling Chicken steak.

Action indeed was picking up and it was time to caution myself: Temper your desires, old man. Better yet, slow down!

At The Alley, food stations or outlets are designed snd positioned in such a way that you feel you are in an alley. There are stalls in narrow passages.

The Alley is located at the 2nd floor of UP Town Center along Katipunan Avenue, right next to La Strada Parish Church. It is owned and managed by Vikings Luxury Buffet.

Come one, come all.

Chef Laudico Guevarra's

Chef Laudico Guevarra's

The native lechon was tender and juicy, and its golden brown skin was crisp. Making it even more succulent was the liver sauce. I had two servings in quick succession.

Next was the sweet and spicy shrimp. I asked for a plateful which appeared freshly hauled from the sea.

Then I took another look at the food station. The choices were varied and seemed endless.

Guevarra's at P. Guevarra St.in San Juan, Metro Manila serves good Filipino cuisine with a wide array of mouth watering dishes. Chef Laudico Guevarra is the man behind the success of this resto.

Guevarra's is housed in an old colonial structure built during the time of the Americans. Its original occupant was the illustrious Pedro Guevarra who was the Philippines' Resident Commissioner to the U.S. House of Representatives during the American regime.

At Guevarra's, not only do you savor fine Filipino food delights. You also get a piece of history. So there!!

Sambokojin

Sambokojin

I made one fleeting glimpse of the various food stations. There was food aplenty, of course. I was taking my own sweet time. I started with five slices of bacon stuffed with asparagus, my favorite. I got quail eggs and crab sticks. There was this tendency to pick more but I resisted the urge. There was no need to have large serving of a particular food as, in a buffet, you could always refill your plate again and again. I joined my companions at our selected table.

Somebody ignited the smokeless electric grill. It was smokeless as the grill had a special hidden exhaust system. I placed my picked food as the other diners positioned their preferred bite-sized meat and vegetables side by side. This kind of grilling is termed Yakiniku.

Sambokojin, which literally means Goddess of the Kitchen, has been one of the key players in the All-You-Can-Eat business and, at this time, it has made headway. It specializes in Japanese and Korean dishes. While there are many branches, my favorite is the one at Eastwood City.

The Kaisen Kutsi Katsu, Kani Kutsi Katsu and the Buta Kushi Katsu were all delightful. The little Makis were so good that I had another round. Shrimps and salmon were satisfying. Now it was time to try the heavier ones. I was given slices of Gyuniku Rosuto, which was actually U.S. Roast Beef. It was tender and juicy. Next was the Pork Belly Roast called Buta Hara Rosuto which I found perfectly to my liking. I asked for more.

To help food moving in my tummy, I had watermelon juice. Still not contented, I had mango juice. Then suddenly I began feeling heaviness in my stomach. A sign of overindulgence. I had one tablet of antacid. In a little while, I felt relieved. I headed towards the counter serving ice cream and asked for three scoops of vanilla and strawberry. Then my youngest son whispered in jest: " Gluttony is a sin. You have to confess that tomorrow." I was laughing as I watched the waiters and cooks dancing to the tune of 'Fantastic Baby'.
