Saturday Lunch at Smokin' Pig Legendary Rib Joint

Just this afternoon, my officemates and I went to try Smokin' Pig in Capitol Green Street and all I can say is that it's worth visiting.

The place is inside Capitol Hills Golf and Country Club and near Celebrity Sports Plaza. It's not accessible so you either need to have your own mode of transportation or hire a cab to get here.

The place overlooks Marikina and the neighboring cities and it only has al fresco dining but that's fine because even though we're there at 12NN, it's still cool.

We're the first ones to dine so I'm not sure if it gets full during weekends.

We ordered a full rack of ribs (P1120) and we had the option to have half wet and half dry so we're able to try both, but we all agreed that the wet ribs taste better. For the sides, we just ordered garlic rice and mashed potatoes. We were able to try their wings as well but personally, I'd still go for Frankie's.

After we're done eating, we ordered San Mig Super Dry (P60) and stayed until past 3PM. It's really a nice place considering there are not that many people visiting and we'll definitely go back to this place.

Pigging Out at Vikings Luxury Buffet Restaurant in Megamall

Our long planned visit to Vikings finally happened last Monday, April 21, 2014. I tried to make a reservation on their Facebook page the day before but I was told that the reservation for lunch is already closed and that there are 150 on the waiting list. I was offered to have reservation for dinner instead but we're only available during lunch so I just went early to get a number for our group. I, with my husband and son, arrived at 10:45AM and we're 9th in line for walk-in guests. At exactly 11AM, they're already seating guests and we were given the couch. We asked if we can be transferred to the couch with the overlooking view of the MRT but the crew who assisted us said that all the couches over that area were taken already. So, if you want to get a good view of EDSA, I'd suggest to inform the Maitre'd before getting a number.

After our seats were given, we immediately started checking out the different dishes. I went over to the Grilling Station and helped myself with their signature Oyster Rockefeller and a few Pork BBQs. Then I went over to the Drinks Station and got myself a glass of Blueberry Lemonade.

Deep Fried Cajun Turkey and Roasted Leg of Lamb

California Maki (as usual)

After a few minutes, I was done so I went off to the Carving Station then the Dessert Station.

Cheesecake, Red Velvet Cake, etc.

Bubblegum Ice Cream (My son's favorite)

By 1PM, everyone's already full so we had a little chit chat, rested for a while then billed out.

I've been to a lot of Buffet Restaurants already but so far, Vikings is the best. Every food and drinks they offer are worth trying.

Vikings in Megamall is located at the 4th floor of Mega Fashion Hall
