It's Heat Time at Edsa Shangri-la Hotel

There has been a lot of buffet restaurant that is appearing in the metro. Some are very affordable while other  are very expensive. There are buffet that only offer specific type of cuisine like they may only have Chinese food or Filipino food or Japanese food. While there are buffet restaurant that have food choice from different part of the world. 

Last night I have an opportunity to have dinner at Heat, Edsa Shangri-la. I have a small appetite, so  I don't often eat at buffet. Good thing is that I'm familiar with the foods at Heat. I already know the foods that I will eat which means less hassle on deciding what to choose and then being disappointed in the end. 

Food choices at Heat ranges from Filipino, Chinese, American, Indian and Japanese. They also have a wide variety of salads and breads.

To start with I had some seafoods. I had a curacha, tempura and green mussels. I only took two pieces of the tempura and mussels because I know that too much of these may cause high blood pressure.


My friend even though she's thin was able to eat three curachas. She even knows the right sauce to go with it. What is more amazing is that she ate the curachas without any difficulty. 


After a serving of seafoods, I headed out to the buffet table again to have my meat. I always have a slice of their steak whenever I eat at Heat. But last tonight was different, I requested for two slices of steak. I had a generous serving of steaks that everyone in our table was staring at me. They don't believe that I can eat it all up. 

Aside from the steaks, I also had a piece of chicken in curry sauce, grilled chicken and another type of beef. I also put two potato wedges that has just the right kick of spice.

Aside from the foods that I ate, Heat also has a variety of dumplings, makis, sushi and sashimi. 

Dinner at Heat will never be complete without their dessert. They have a chocolate fountain with choices of fruits and mallows. Beside the chocolate fountain are the different cakes, panna cota and puddings. They also have an ice cream corner where you can ask for an ice cream teppanyaki that you can watch while being made. 


Beside the ice cream station are the crepes. You can also watch the chef do your crepe. You have banana, peach and mango as fillings for the crepe. 

They also have fruits for dessert. Heat usually have melon, pineapple, watermelon and papaya for fruits. 

 There are a lot of good reasons to eat at Heat. It might be pricey but its worth it!

All About Meat at Meat Plus Subic

Its already past 2PM and everybody is undoubtedly happy with the trip to Ocean Adventure but our stomachs are grumbling up. Its not the time to be picky on what to eat but of course we want our Subic trip to be really special. So to top our vacation we decided to have lunch at Meat Plus Cafe.

Meat Plus Cafe is the mother company of Tender Bob's. It's a perfect place for meat lovers. Their menu is obviously all about meat.

The best part about Meat Plus Cafe is that they have a fridge near the counter where you can choose your steak and with just a price of P150 you have an option to have it cooked just the way you like it.

To begin with our lunch, our friend ordered Potato Skins. The slices are very thin and crispy. They offer two dips, the cheese sauce and creamy garlic. Both dips goes well with the Potato Skins.

Most of us ordered the Oven-Roasted Beef Belly which is worth P220. It already includes rice, soup and your choice of soda or iced tea. The beef is cooked into perfection with fat linings in the edges. The meat is very soft that its you don't have to use the knife to cut it into pieces.

Another must-try is their steak. One of my friend is a definite steak lover and she would definitely take this as an opportunity of having a steak at Meat Plus. Her verdict, steak at other restaurants are much better but the quality of meat and affordability makes Meat Plus a worthy visit.
