VIKINGS Luxury Buffet Opens "MOST BEAUTIFUL" Branch at GATEWAY MALL 2 in Araneta City

Buffet Olympians, lend me your ears! There exists a new VIKINGS branch at the Gateway Mall 2 in Araneta City. This is not a drill!

Dubbed as the "Most Beautiful Branch", the new Vikings Buffet branch in this place is indeed worthy of that title. Mixing both Scandinavian and Japanese design, they devised a way to make this small space and make it an iconic venue to eat, be merry and do it like the Vikings do!

The chain as always want you to have an unparalleled gastronomic flair that they do in every branch of Vikings. The sheer variety of food should make you interested since they house more than 10 Stations including my personal favorites, the Meat Carving and Dessert station. The place can sit over 360 people, have lots of options for groups, conducive as they designed it lined up and cozy, with privacy on some parts if you prefer.

Here's a short tour of VIKINGS Luxury Buffet Gateway Mall 2, please enjoy!

The interior as you can see feels so fresh and very minimalist which juxtaposes the amount of food they offer on the buffet. The food quality was also something to be lauded, because their Corporate Executive Chef Rosauro Peciller sees to it that every dish coming out of their kitchen is at par with the level of every Vikings Luxury Buffet branch they handle. 

Chef Ross says "This is one of the most beautiful Vikings Luxury Buffet branch there is. We have an updated menu, different kinds of dishes, we have the Mediterranean, Indonesian, Malaysian, Korean, and the best Meat Carving Station. We also are offering Roasted Duck, Peking Duck, Angus Churrasco and more. I travel a lot, I have worked in the best places around the world, even 5 Star Hotels and Cruise Liners, and take my 43 years of experience in this branch in Gateway Mall 2 at Araneta City. We always update the menu in Vikings, which is why if you have dined here today, you'll probably have to try different dishes the day after. We do that from time to time. For me, this is the best Vikings so far. We have bigger Vikings Buffets elsewhere, but this one has charm and can host a lot of people too. The best time to go here is ANYTIME!" 

He adds "We also continue to innovate, introduce new flavors, it's my 10th year with the Vikings Group. Working in the Philippines I get to be together with my family and friends, which I hope people get to also experience when they dine in this Vikings Luxury Buffet branch in Gateway Mall 2! I am also happy I get to train the young Filipino chefs that are working with Vikings and their other restaurants. It's almost Christmas, so in the holidays, expect even grander food like the Roast Turkey, Roasted Lamb Leg, big Steaks, holiday breads and an awesome Christmas Menu. We can add more in the future. We are the best Buffet in the Philippines!"

It's super nice to actually see this new branch open quite near my home. Just like a lot of businesses, Vikings has been through a lot during the pandemic, laid off a few people, retained who they can. Now they're back, bigger, more beautiful than ever. 

Now put on your Viking hat and troop the Gateway Mall 2 at Araneta City, they are located at the Upper Ground B floor beside Palenque. You may contact them through their social channels, or their number 8-VIKINGS for reservations.

Daniel Padilla Most Wanted Concert

If you haven't heard it yet, the teen king Daniel Padilla will be doing a concert called Daniel Padilla Most Wanted this June 13, 2015. The good looking guy will be singing a couple of songs mostly old ones as he has admitted to be an old soul. The songs he'll be performing is where he's mostly comfortable and as I posted in Instagram (Follow @kumagcow there please and on Twitter and Periscope!) he hasn't really had time to rehearse. He was able to rest these past few days and take the long way of choosing the songs, singing it a few times even if he lacked sleep because he's still taping episodes for his soap "Pangako Sa'yo" (I Promise You) which has gone worldwide in the past. They're probably also doing the same in this franchise because as it seems, the following the teen queen and king has is just phenomenal.

Mom Carla Estrada aka The Queen Mother has been very supportive of his son and Daniel confirms that she might actually be part of the show. As for Kathryn appearing, he knows that she's got a lot of work still on the same show and he doesn't know yet if it's going to be a surprise kind of thing... he hopes though that she'll get to be there so that fans would be happy. The show Most Wanted just makes this a mark of his career, he's already filled the Smart Araneta Coliseum in the past and this repeat in Mall of Asia Arena he says will be more personal. As of now, he said that the only tickets available will be SRO meaning mostly all the tickets got sold out when it was available online.

He's just human and when asked if he's nervous, he said he's worried because the lack of rehearsal time might actually be something to worry about. Though he's very optimistic that they're going to finish this on time and because it's showing tomorrow, he hopes he doesn't disappoint especially those who have supported him all these years. This time, it's more personal, this time it's more of him and he hopes that in some way, even if the teens of this time wouldn't be able to know most of the songs he's singing, they would be able to relate to it just like he does because that's what Daniel Padilla loves.

This is the most awaited concert of the year and the proof of the putting is it's outstanding box office success so far. I hope teens and their friends would be able to watch this concert in Mall of Asia tomorrow. You'll be missing a lot if you don't watch the teen king perform once again on stage. Who knows, Kathryn might show up and you won't be there!  

Congratulations Daniel! Break a leg tomorrow!
