MAKATI SHANGRI-LA: SUNDAY BBQ BRUNCH AT SAGE

If the usual hotel buffet bores you, I guess Makati Shangri-La's Sage Sunday BBQ Brunch would be an ideal place to try out something new. I found myself visiting this hotel on a Sunday with good friends and awesome company. The spread isn't as big as you might compare it to other buffet lineups but it does give you the best bang for buck since it focuses more on quality rather than quantity.
Drinks are an important part of any meal. Here, they offer you some choices that could cure your hangover or even perk you up. That day, they were serving some bloody marys and an apple flavored sparkling mix.
After settling down, it's best to walk around the room to check out the different dishes they have have in store for you. You could fill up your plate with an assortment of cheese and cold cuts. There's even a number of salad choices that could get you moving.
Even if it's a BBQ styled and themed brunch buffet, they also have a few seafood offerings. They have shrimps, and a couple of salmon based dishes.
Crab cakes and smoky, spicy Chicken wings were present too.
I had fun with the burger station though. Here, you could have them create your own personalized juicy burger. Partner it with cheese, bacon, caramelized onions, and other toppings and you just might have one happy tummy.
I was pleasantly surprised when I got my double patty burger. Topped with bacon, melted cheese, and some darn good onions, I was salivating when I took the first bite.
Aside from the California Chicken Wrap Station, there's also a Ceasar Salad station that makes your favorite salad on the go. You could add pork, chicken, and shrimps as toppings.
For me, partnering it with some cold cuts, fruits, and even a bit of steak from the grill station made it a better salad. Honestly, it's quite hard to eat veggies with just veggies but having it with some other friendlier flavors could trick my tongue into liking it.
Speaking of, the MEAT selection of the SUNDAY BBQ BRUNCH would be its crown and glory. A number of different cuts were present aside from usual grilled items that you may see.

Dessert was also an impressive sight. Aside from the different cakes and pastry that they serve, they also had churros and grilled bananas that you could customize. Also, their ice cream and fruits selection were spot on.

MAKATI SHANGRI-LA'S SHANG PALACE: DIMSUM FOR DINNER

 A feast for the senses. Each time one goes through the doors of SHANG PALACE in Makati Shangri-La, you are greeted with amazing decor and even better food. The attention to detail and the ambiance. Just perfect.
 Just a couple of weeks ago, SHANG PALACE introduced DIMSUM NIGHTS. Very often, dimsum is only served during breakfast or lunch. At MAKATI SHANGRI-LA, they considered what the guests want and they deliver.
 Special dishes left and right would be present. One could go for the classics and enjoy each bite.
Pork dumplings and Shrimp dumplings would be the favorites. Topped with fish roe, the pork variant is packed with flavors. The Hakaw or Har Gow is filled with plump and juicy shrimps.
 The MACHANG is a favorite as well. Hokkien style glutinous rice is filled with glorious meat. As you unwrap it, you get a fragrant perfume like smell. Delicious and worth while.
 Surprisingly, the SPRING ROLLS from SHANG PALACE is extremely good as well. Filled with pork and shrimps, the layering is fantastic. Each bite would result in the right balance of crunch and flavor.
 To end the meal, one could go for some LYCHEE ALMOND SOYA JELLY.  Not overly sweet, each spoonful would make you swoon with delight.
If that is not enough, one could also go for their egg tarts. Small bite sized desserts, this is a thing of beauty. Simple and straightforward.

MAKATI SHANGRI-LA's CIRCLE: Butcher's Market Experience.

One thing I hate about buffets is that they always serve the same old thing over and over again. If I'm a foodie, I won't enjoy something without variety. It is important for restaurants to serve a variety of dishes to allow its visitors to enjoy as much as they can. I think MAKATI SHANGRI-LA is working towards fixing that problem. 
One of the most important aspect of eating is enjoying it. MAKATI SHANGRI-LA's CIRCLES has been at the forefront of this battle. Rather than serving the same old food over and over again, they made something  different. A themed dinner buffet everyday of the week. What started just this September, they hope to push the run till the end of the year. To give their dinners something to look forward to every single night. 
I've been to MAKATI SHANGRI-LA's CIRCLES a number of times already. Almost if not always with the family. I tend to look for something drool worthy every time I visit the place. Thankfully, I went on a TUESDAY night this time around for their "BUTCHER'S MARKET". From the word itself, you would be glad to know that CIRCLES buffet spread would be focusing on ALL MEAT entrees. They will of course still serve different parts of a meal, its just that MEAT would be their focus for the night. 

Aside from the mini-seafood bar serving oysters, shrimps and clams, they have a long table housing different appetizers, salads, and starters to begin the night. 
Different cheeses to enjoy, along with a plethora of bread. Of course, they have different dips as well. 
You know me, I started with some Japanese dishes like sushi and other rolls to fill my tummy. 
According to the chef manning the Japanese Station, their best seller would be these blow torched salmon covered rolls. I got to agree with him as it's pretty much one of my faves. 
At the other end of the long buffet line, they had the dimsum area. Here you could also ask for noodles to be cooked for you along with what ever toppings your tummy desire. 
Not just Chinese based noodles but also other pasta dishes that you have the cravings for.
 Like this puttanesca. Straight forward. No frills. 
Alongside it is their Indian station. This is where they serve their tandooris and other spice filled dishes.

It didn't stop there. THE MEAT SECTION STARTED WITH THIS AMAZING FILIPINO DISH. They had a ROASTED PIG or Lechon which I must say got wiped out pretty fast.  The skin was crunchy and glorious. Each bite would equate to a delicious sound. Don't worry though, they also offered other roasted dishes such as chicken, duck, and yes out of no where deep fried tempuras. 
Then this huge table of meat greets you. You can see the sous chef getting those huge chunk of steak right there for grilling. You could ask the staff to cook those pork chops, different kinds of steak,  chicken and even sausages that would make you order beer just for Oktoberfest. Perfect beer match I tell you.
These aren't just ordinary steak, they are marinated to perfection. Cooked just right and are heavenly with each bite. Yes, I moved the veggies to the side and just had the steak. 
Oops, that's not all. They also had a humongous PRIME RIB. This bloody piece of meat has a coat like no other. Herbs upon herbs were used to make it flavorful. Plainly speaking, it was damn perfect. 
They also had a bunch of hot dishes for you to take the plunge with. 
Mushroom and ox tongue to Pork Belly cooked in a tomato based sauce. 
Beef with crispy noodles. 
A lasagna like dish covered with incredible cheese and has a meaty surprise inside. 
Another beef dish. Apparently, you can't have too much of meat as they kept on pouring the different dishes. 

Truth be told, a meal isn't complete without dessert. It is the main reason of finishing a meal. To get to a sweet ending. 
MAKATI SHANGRI-LA 's CIRCLES has an impressive dessert line up. 
From different mini creations. 
To homemade sorbets
and Filipino delicacies. 
They even had a huge cupcake for the taking. 
Seriously though, they had an awesome TIRAMISU
and this devilish EVIL CAKE. You must not miss this one. DEADLY yet uberly good.

I know that CIRCLES has been there since forever. With this new set up,  MAKATI SHANGRI-LA could be able to keep inviting foodies over and over again just because they have something different every dinner time for a whole week. I know for a fact that I would definitely enjoy the SEAFOOD MARKET and maybe another round of BUTCHER'S and to sum up everything, the GRAND CENTRAL MARKET.
