  • I have very fond memories of this hotel. Me and my wife (colleague back then) worked in this exact buffet restaurant for years, my wife was even one of the first batch of regular staff that the restaurant had - and let me tell you, being a regular staff is a huge deal in this in this hotel because of the amount of sheer number of competition that you have for the job. Sofitel Manila is very discinct in how it does it's service - it's all about 'cousu main' service or 'service with a heart'. In all our years of hospitality career, we've never worked with people as well-trained or passionate to this day. We've since moved on to managing a tavern in Western Australia but we still look back at Sofitel Manila and the Spiral Restaurant with nostalgia.

    • I second this.. soy sauce and vinegar (toyo and suka/pinakurat) with some chillis are the go to food dip of the Filipinos, esp. for grilled and fried foods. 😊

  • Really appreciate the buffet manager’s overview at the start. There are four different price points based on the day and offerings. For specialities like free flowing champagne and complete seafood feast on the weekend, of course the price will increase. The location, amenities, entertainment and security factor into the cost too. Ain’t no road stop hut that’s for sure.

  • Sofitel spiral buffet is amazing. tried it recently but because of the pandemic effect most food items are required to be asked for you to get as you can see in the video they have the glass dividers. So it was an off thing for me cuz i prefer getting my own food. Plus, I'm introvert. I suggest try Fresh buffet in Solaire, I like that better.

    • @@glendaraguin9086 The problem with your statement is that if it is peaceful and safe, you don't need security. You only need security if it isn't safe. Now, security makes it safe and I had a great time. But with high population comes higher crime rates. With high relative poverty, you see higher crime rates. You can follow the statistics. BUT you are correct in that the Philippines is very good at looking out for the visitors.

    • @@100john4 no that's idiotic, in the West stores are constantly being looted because you have the "illusion" of being safe by not seeing security people anywhere. Then you guys get mad at immigrants for ruining things and stores have to put their merchandise under lock and key, but for us we already know that bad elements can come from anywhere, so shopkeepers, malls and commercial establishments will invest in security and deterrents rather than let thieves or bandits threaten potential customers. You westerners just believe in the fantasy of safety until there's a concert being bombed in Manchester because you guys don't wanna see security guys everywhere. We haven't had any bombings in Metro Manila for at least 2 decades. Westerners get raped and harrassed by foreign migrants but that sh!t doesn't fly in the Philippines. Don't lecture us about safety when your own Western cities are full of mass shooters and looters.

  • As a frequent customer of the Spiral, I've got suggestions for maximum flavor + bang for your buck strategy on The Spiral. 1. Go for the roast pork, beef, duck, and lamb. Ignore the chicken. 2. After that decadent start, go for the Miso soup. 3. Now go abuse that cheese room and ask for more prosciutto. 4. Then, navigate to the seafood section. The lobster is to die for and if you think you can handle it -the paella. 5. Cleanse the palette with Miso soup again. 6. It's an acquired taste (you can skip this part) but go with the foie gras. 7. Slow down with the Korean section. 8. If you can still handle it, take a deep dive on the Japanese section. 9. Dessert.
