Din Tai Fung, Bonifacio Global City

Friday, 18th of August, me and my beau wanted to try the "afternoon feast, eat all you can" of Din Tai Fung. The promo runs from June 20 until August 18 from 2pm to 5pm all weekday. It was the last day, 18th of August and since we're celebrating as well our monthsary, we decided to give it a try. For only 399 per head (plus service charge) it is a definitely a good deal. You got to choose from 10 different dish that will satisfy your afternoon meryenda cravings. Here's the special menu for the afternoon feast.
I'm getting excited just by seeing the different dishes that we can try :)
What we ordered first is of course the Chicken Xiaolongbao ten pieces (2 sets). We were very curious how it taste because what we usually order in DTF is their Pork xiaolongbao.  To our surprise, their chicken xiaolongbao is sooo delish like the famous Pork xiaolongbao =). Same ratio of the vinegar and soysauce with garlic strips is a must for every piece of it. Make sure to take a small hole of every piece so that the sauce and the broth will ooze and the taste will be superb.

I asked the staff if the yellow looking chick is edible, they said yes and it is made of flour and carrot if I remembered it correctly. Wasn't able to try it though because I am sooo full already of the unli xiao long bao =)

We had at least 3 or 4 sets of xiaolongbao (I can eat this all day! haha). We also tried the Pork and roasted garlic buns, this is very yummy too but it is very heavy for me because of the dough. I rather prefer the xiaolongbao haha =) .

The dessert would be the mango sago pomelo. This is not your regular mango sango, it is very creamy and super yummy. If I was not very full, i have ordered another set. I would definitely order this again when I come back in Din Tai Fung.


Wasn't able to take pictures of the all the dishes we've tried but to sum it all up, it was all worth it. I hope that Din Tai Fung will have this super sulit afternoon feast again.

NIU by Vikings at SM Aura

Vikings, specially NIU in SM Aura Premier has been a go to for every family's birthday celebration. This month we have two birthday celebrants and since they were also back from US for a vacation, we decided to go to where else, NIU. :)

Niu has been always my personal favorite buffet restaurant. They offer a lot of variety of cuisine without sacrificing the quality of food. Aside from good food, they also offer different wines, beers and house mixed cocktails too.

Here are some of my favorites for our last night's dinner birthday celebration.

Leg of Lamb is always on top of my list, however for this time i'm a little disappointed with the person in charge in the meat carving station. I always prefer medium well or well done but the staff served me with wrong doneness and a big chunk that's not that edible enough due to large part was all fat that wasn't properly rendered.



California maki, salmon and tuna sashimi, may all time fave. You can taste the freshness compared to other buffet restaurants in the metro.

Sukiyaki 

My DIY dessert sampler, creme brulee will always be on it :). They also have halo halo, soft serve sundae, and filipino desserts like sapin sapin and bibingka if your up to much more desserts.
