CHELSEA GRAND CAFE: Longest Sunday Brunch in Serendra

CHELSEA GRAND CAFE in SERENDRA holds the distinction of having one of the longest Sunday Brunch Buffet in the BGC area. From 10am to 3pm, they serve good morning cuisine that can't be beaten. I have never seen nor heard of any restaurant that serves tasty food 5 hours long.

A long spread of breads, cereals, pancakes, and muffins is the first thing that greets you as you enter.

Once seated, you could pick from a list of pasta dishes and have the kitchen cook it up for you.

 The Mac & Cheese was pretty good. Maybe because of the bacon bits. Bacon is love.
You could also ask the wait staff to make an omelet from all the ingredients listed. Better yet, it would be prudent to check out everything and pick them on the spot from their omelette station.


A large number of salad, dips and cold dishes alongside different types of cheese would be perfect for the numerous bread types that they offer.

Another highlight of the buffet spread was the seafood section.

Fresh clams and oysters from Aklan are served on ice beds. They go with a lot of sauces. I suggest you go for a little lemon squeeze and some dill sauce. These oysters though are seriously fresh and delicious.

Another favorite of the spread would be the smoked salmon. Flavorful bites that I can't seem to stop myself from getting more and more.

What is a buffet without a carving and meat section? Here, they offer crispy bacon, sausages and roast beef.

The bacon isn't soggy. Each bite would result to a crunch. The sausages in Chelsea are big, juicy and has a smoke flavor. Yummy.
Accompanied by other side dishes, the roast beef is tender, filled with juices and is perfect with rice or even bread. No need for sauce, as the flavor oozes out with each cut. If you must, roasted veggies are on the side for healthy eaters but why bother when all this meat has the perfect flavor already.

Chelsea can't just leave you on that note. It promises to deliver even until dessert.

Cookies and different pastries are there for the taking. The cupcakes would need special mention because they look wonderfully good.
When going to this buffet, I would suggest that you make space. Don't eat anything before going. SERIOUSLY! No Crackers no snacks!!!!
Aim for that Oyster and Salmon because they are amazing. Don't worry though, they refill the spread pretty fast.
See that egg dish on the left side of the plate? That's truffled eggs. They are so mouthwatering good that you got to stay on point and try to limit yourself because of all the calories. Sadly, I wasn't able to because I couldn't help it. The flavor of the truffle went deliciously well with eggs and the crackers. A side of cheese didn't hurt as well.

CHELSEA GRAND CAFE is genius in offering a SUNDAY BRUNCH BUFFET in the SERENDRA AREA. With all the joggers in mind, this long buffet engagement would definitely refill all the energy lost. From the eggs to the roast beef, you won't go wrong. Even the oysters and the salmon are pretty good that you will definitely go back for seconds or thirds. This is one Sunday Brunch buffet that I won't need to wake up early to.

CHELSEA KITCHEN in EASTWOOD: Familiar Food done Perfectly

Let's do this. Eastwood is a place that would forever be in my heart. This is where I used to go to back when I was in high school and even until when I was still working and up to now. I could remember the wasted nights, the lovely dates and even the only place to go to for a post prom night. It has never failed to amazed me. From an empty parking lot to office buildings, condo units and even a huge mall with different establishments to go to and enjoy. It lives up to its name as a township. 

One restaurant that caught my eye is CHELSEA KITCHEN. One of two branches that caters to the foodie audience in the metro. The other branch is located in SM MEGAFASHION HALL in MEGAMALL. In Eastwood, the restaurant that used to be MOMO CAFE transformed into CHELSEA KITCHEN. Rain Tree Restaurants, the group behind amazing food places like Saboten and M Cafe made sure to entice our eyes and tummies with CHELSEA KITCHEN.  
Bright lights lure you in and they got you with their food. 

One thing I noticed is that they have a drink list that a little kid like me would be giddy about. From floats, to mixed juices and cocktail inspired non-alcoholic drinks, you will definitely have something to pick. 
But for me, I preferred the HONEY LIME FIZZ (195Php) as it was sour and sweet at the same time.  

You could also go "healthy" with their best seller, the MUSHROOM CHICHARON (195Php). Deep fried crunchy mushroom served with a vinegar and aioli based sauce. I couldn't stop myself from getting one after another. The mushroom are just like "pork cracklings" but a little healthier. 
One section of the menu that got me interested was their SANDWICHES. I was actually there for snack time and I figured I didn't want heavy. Unfortunately for my tummy, CHELSEA KITCHEN serve generous serving sizes of their meals and snacks. 

The ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE (295Php) was perfect for me. It had a side of house made fries and roasted tomato cappuccino. The bread and the three different cheeses used were spot on in terms of dunking them in the soup.
The same actually goes for HOT TAPA FRENCH DIP (350Php). A caramelized onion soup is used as a dipping sauce for the sandwich. The tapa was tender and perfect. Thinking about it makes my mouth drool. 
Thinking that man doesn't live on bread alone, the YELLOW CARBONARA (320Php) was just too good to be true. It was creamy and each bite made me swoon in delight. You won't see me do that unless I was exceptionally happy about something I am eating. I believe it was the hollandaise that made the sauce creamy as much as anything can be. This is delightful and must not be missed.
Dessert is an important aspect of any meal. In Chelsea Kitchen Eastwood, they made sure that every foodie have their fill. 

The House made COOKIE BUTTER PIZZA (250Php) is made basically of melted marshmallow and chocolate chips. It's just wonderful. 
I can't stress it enough that you should also get the DONUT HOLES (195Php). These babies have dulce de leche in their holes that oozes out with each bite.
Having a warm chocolate dip gave it another dimension. It is the icing on top of the cake.

To end the meal, I am glad that RAIN TREE RESTAURANTS serve ILLY Coffee. Aside from that, their trademark Choc Nut is always there.
Thank you very much Mela for the small foodie get together. I enjoyed the chit chat and of course the food.
