THE ALLEY BY VIKINGS: BONIFACIO HIGH STREET'S GO TO BUFFET BGC

When someone asks me where to go for lunch, I usually say let's go to a buffet. The upside is that you get tons of choices and you won't need to wait for food. One of my go to places would be THE ALLEY in UP TOWN CENTER KATIPUNAN. Recently, they just opened their 4th branch of the same concept in BGC.  This newer place is hipper and more instagrammable.
Since this is owned by the VIKINGS GROUP, you could be sure of its quality and quantity. One thing that differs between the usual Vikings buffet is that THE ALLEY is patterned like a food hall. They have 14 different stations that you could choose from.
You just have to remember that this is a buffet. You go for the meanest and best bang for buck dishes.
If it was me you're talking to, I usually head on over to their Japanese section first. NAMED as YATAI, this stall offers sushi and sashimi. Other Japanese dishes are also found here. 
It's tempura all you want as well. If they don't have a single one waiting for you, the staff is willing to bring newly cooked ones to your table. So don't forget to get your table number.
After starting with my go-to's, I would suggest that you visit the stations that offer the carved dishes. IN BUONO, you are greeted with the big guns. Aside from turkey, lamb, and beef, they also have deep fried pork aka liempo. Surprisingly, they offer chicharon bulaklak here as well.
Another must try would be their baked oysters. Topped with tons of gooey cheese, you won't go wrong with these babies. Just remember to eat them when you have something in your stomach already.
As you enter THE ALLEY in BGC, you have a choice between the left side and the right side. Don't get me wrong, both sides are perfect places to sit at. My only tip is to stay somewhere at the back since most of the main courses are there. One stall named as HAO CHI, offers Chinese Dishes. Aside from the deep friend pork, you could also go for the soy chicken. Really good stuff.
The choices here are extremely limitless. You can never go wrong with any.
I appreciate that they also serve street food. They have a fishball cart that sells deep friend goodies. Beside it, they offer bibingka and puto bungbong. You could also have some dirty ice cream, taho, and balot.
Another thing that makes me like THE ALLEY is that they have an extensive list of drinks to choose from. You can go for something alcoholic like their cocktails of the day, or fruits juices and even freshly brewed coffee.

SALVATORE CUOMO: BEST AFFORDABLE PASTA PIZZA BUFFET IN BGC

When in Bonifacio Global City, I would always find myself looking for something worth my while. Something not overly expensive yet it would give me bang for my buck. Thankfully SALVATORE CUOMO answered my calls. 
No doubt, this has got to be the most value for money buffet you could find in BGC right now. Salvatore Cuomo is now celebrating their anniversary with a buffet that would definitely entice you to come back for more.
Diners are left impressed with this lunch anniversary buffet. From Mondays to Sundays, SALVATORE CUOMO has the PIZZA and LUNCH BUFFET ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL. For only 600Php for weekdays and 900Php for weekends, guests are entitled to a main course, unlimited pizza, soup, salad, appetizers and drinks.
Starting off with some healthy options, one could go for a make your own salad. Here, you could mix and match different fresh veggies to create your masterpiece.
While there are a number of appetizers like pumkins and frittata, the end of the line would show different pizzas on display. While they rotate these bad boys to other flavors after every so often, you can't help but get a couple more slices of the cheese flavored covered with honey.
You could see how freshly made each one is. With excellent ingredients selected for each dish, you are assured of the quality and the taste that comes with each bite.
For the main course, patrons are given the option to choose between a few dishes.
Pasta choices are abundant and would work well if you're part of the group. You could mix and match and share it with one another.
One could go for this clams and zucchini spaghetti as well. Filled with flavors of the sea, it's light and goes well with the different dishes on the buffet spread.
You could also go for some Pan Fried Salmon and Seafood Skewers. Take note though that seafood and meat options adds an additional 300 Php to the bill.
Meat lovers need not worry as SALVATORE CUOMO got you covered. This Porchetta is deadly. Partnered with the right type of carbs, you'll definitely have a blast.

While drinks are also part of the buffet, one has got to go for the SANGRIA'S. These babies pack a punch and are not like those watered down versions you get at other restaurants. Thankfully, the restaurant has a 50% off on them every Fridays and Saturdays.

IBIZA BEACH CLUB BGC: 15 COURSE MEATY DELIGHT

Glorious and diverse. Unlimited servings of wonderful and different cuts of meat could only be attained in one place in the metro, IBIZA BEACH CLUB IN BGC. Recently opened and patterned after the one in CEBU'S MOVENPICK HOTEL in MACTAN, you can definitely get your fill here.
With an impressive design catering to different types of gatherings, one could pick their own nook and just let the night fade away. A huge stage is in the center of the hall while sections upon sections surround it. The most impressive would be the outdoor seating with a jacuzzi. You could take a quick dip while partaking of an amazing meal.
Drinks seems to be the perfect way to start any visit. One of club's best seller would be their IBIZA SOUR. Not overly sweet, it's very similar to whisky sour. It's refreshing yet after a few glasses you might feel a little buzzed.
To make the most out of any visit, one should partake of the signature 15 course Balearic grill. At the start, you could go for their salad bar or have caesar salad created just for you. Each dish is cooked and created when you want it and as much as you can. For the price of Php 2,500 ++, you also have the option of having unlimited servings of award winning red and white Manny O. wines just by adding Php 600.
After starting with the greens, you could go for their seafood choices.  Salmon, Jumbo Prawns, Calamari, and even the Parrot fish. Each one with their specific flavor and right off the grill. Special mention has to go for the parrot fish. Each bite was packed with flavor and the texture wasn't as loose as other seafood might be. It was seriously good.
Meat is basically the main attraction of the 15 course grill buffet. From chicken to ribs and other delightful cuts, you won't go wrong with any. One must try everything then pick out their favorites to order more.
Crowd favorites would include the LAMB, FILET MIGNON, and RIB EYE. The lamb is cooked in such a way that it isn't as gamey as you would expect. The flavor is there and the meat is gorgeous. No need for any mint sauce. You could have it on its own. The Filet Mignon is US ANGUS wrapped in juicy bacon. The meat is tender and each one is proportioned correctly. It's like having bite sized steak prepared just for you.
If you're a steak lover, the RIBEYE would be your bet. Sourced from the US, it's their way of saying, here's the MEAT. Grilled and not overly done, you get to have the best of both worlds. Ask for the burnt ends just so you get something crispy to go with.
You don't see OSTRICH meat everyday. Cooked in medium rare, it's a bit tough but there lies an immense flavor with each mouthful. This is something you should try.
For dessert, you could go for the signature MOVENPICK ICE CREAM. With artisinal flavors, you won't go wrong with any. It's only here that you could try it out in the metro. Hopefully, they could introduced sugar-free versions.
But, the perfect ending would be the QUEEN PINEAPPLE. Roasted with cinnamon sugar, served with honey, fresh yogurt, and crushed nuts, you can't help but wonder how good your day is going because of everything that you have tried at IBIZA BEACH CLUB.
