$18 vs $36 vs $50 Buffet in Cebu, Philippines

[@bureaucrazy1234]

Appreciate the honesty. By Philippine standards, those prices are excessive given the quality of the food.

[@Pikachu-ho8rp]

For the price range of these buffets, the reason their price is so high so as compared to the quality is because they mostly focus more on quantity rather than quality. mas mabilis maenganyo ang pinoy sa dami kesa sa quality, realtalk.

8:03 that purple dessert is called binignit in cebuano, in tagalog we call it ginatan or bilobilo. The puple color came from purple yam or ube, it has glutinous rice balls, banana saba, sweet potato, jackfruit, tapioca pearls, taro and cassava cooked in a sweetened coconut milk. There is a white version of it without the purple yam. It’s my favorite filipino dessert. This dessert is always available in Hyehwa-dong Seoul at the Philippine Sunday Market so whenever I crave for Filipino foods I just go there on Sunday.

[@JoDa705]

I don't really care about the food, but I'm most envious about the fact he went there during Christmas, the best time to be in the Philippines. Anyway, hope you had a good one, Tito Jimmy!

[@eforecstatic9417]

Hi Jimmy! The purple dessert is called "bilo bilo". It is a sweet sticky rice balls with fruits (sweet potatoes, sometimes banana, and tapioca pearls. They are not usually purple but if they put ube or food coloring, then it must be why. Hope this helps ya.

Bilo2x originated in Cebu, the official name is Binignit. Luzoneros copied and renamed it. lol.

[@yugrise1286]

picollo blood is called ube bilo bilo. a purple yum flavor with a mixed of jackfruit, banana, sweet potato and some mochi texture balls also it has a clear boba called sago. bilo bilo is sweet because of coconut milk and milk also sugar.

[@1lyntek]

You need to try the spiral buffet at Manila, it’s around 100$ per person but definitely worth it

[@Chenkyoto243]

Hey jimmy, thanks for showing the Costco stream, it was fun to see everything ❤

[@srikandim8547]

i really love watching your videos, the things you say make me crack up!! love the videos and keep it up!!

Glad to see you enjoying the Philippines Jimmy! Next time visit Manila! I’ll host and tour you around 💜

[@ohnosmoarlulcatz]

Not from the Philipines, but that soup is most likely Purple Yam/Sweet Potato/Ube. It's also served in Vietnam and China, but each have their own things added to it. In China, it's treated similar to Mung Bean/Red Bean soup. The Philipines is the only place I know that also has it as a jam.

[@firespriteearthcrystals]

It is a Cebuano food.

[@TomohiroShin]

Wanna hear Jimmy speak more chinese in his videos you're pronunciation is really good 🙂

[@jimmykimtv]

You'll hear more haha but I need to practice more first 😅

Go to Manila and try Spiral buffet in Sofitel Hotel…

[@trinatanIYN]

Jimmy, how about doing hotel room reviews too?

[@chinwei87]

That Lechon Kawaii and Lechon Baka was so hilarious! I'm kind of triggered they spelled my country name "Singaporean" wrong, I still prefer the cheapest buffet! looks super value for money!

[@melodiaesto9184]

But never ever order Laksa here unless you are ready to experience a huge dissappointment

[@carmelia1518]

For me, the most luxurious buffet in Cebu is the shangrila mactan

[@maryanndelosangeles3835]

i hope you tried different kinds of lechon in cebu

[@rheyartango9865]

Enjoy your stay in Cebu and keep safe... Better stay for Sinulog Celebration....

“Hallway full of juice” is a phrase I’ve never heard in my lifetime and probably never will again.

[@edjaytemplado316]

Vikings is like the staple buffet to most of the Filipinos aside from Cabalen. They could be more affordable than the others while offering promos too

[@AndyJade-df6dj]

I went to Cebu during the sinulog festival it is a very beautiful place to be.

[@ANAnomalous1]

OMG 😂 ☠️ "I just find it extra liberating when the drinks are included in the buffet, too. This must be how an american person feels every day. Like, you feel freedom, but you're actually paying a lot of money for it." HAHAHAHA

[@user-qy6bu5wx6u]

Jimmy come to Iloilo! Dinagyang festival is next weekend and you should definitely be here!

[@lapulapupintado2892]

Come to India, Kolkata, I'll give you tour of best buffet in India.... You'll enjoy it things are affordable and cheap yet tastiest than any other states.

[@maranessie]

So happy you are here!

[@angelicagrace8248]

You should go to nustar there Buffett is nice too

[@gsastudio-archl]

Drinks are usually included in the buffets in Cebu and probably in the whole Philippines. Except for the cocktails.

[@zarakomo7217]

Please go to Iloilo city and try LA PAZ BATCHOY. It's a traditional noodle dish that rich in flavour and the ingredients are superb!! You missed the opportunity to witness the festival there.

[@sh1nu_d1e]

shut up

[@funkygrrlz21]

Hello Jimmy, my in laws for Thanksgiving serve turkey and ham and I go for the ham everytime. They even make ham gravy in addition to turkey gravy where the ham gravy is a bit saltier and I think it tastes better too. I wish we had those kind of buffets in America because then they would be worth it. Most buffets if I can even find one near me are 15-20 something dollars and they serve like 10 main entress and a couple of desserts-so not worth it.

[@madvirus13]

This is what i like about your vlog.. if you dont like it.. you do not lie👍✨ Good job!

[@alice.L.]

lol when Jimmy ignores the weird sushi kombos. We also have those in Europe but there is still some sashimi too. I recommend to still try the crispy tempura chicken sushi and smoked salmon sushi with teriyaki sauce on top. Yummy.

[@Demac1111]

Very good honest review goodluck more vlog and blessings 🎉🎉🎉

[@trinatanIYN]

Hey Jimmy, wishing you quick success in learning Chinese. 好！ 😊🎉

[@GGCali]

Hey Jimmy! You definitely should try restaurants and food only available in CEBU. Danidoo Waffles, Dimsum Break, Proben(street food) and Sunburst(Local Chicken Diner). I'm flying to cebu next month just to have another taste of it😂

[@mariarebeccaflores9901]

As someone who grew up in Cebu, I've always associated Sunburst with our local food scene. But recently, I discovered that it actually started in Iligan City in 1971 😆

[@jomarburog]

Happy New Year Jimmy! Next time visit Manila and try Spiral buffet

[@Saradomin65]

Vikings Buffet where even for most Filipino's is expensive enough is the "cheapest" here 😭. Anyways, hoped you enjoyed your stay here in Cebu, unfortunately didn't get to see you here but maybe next time when you come here 😁.

[@norucelezia1915]

tbh as a local, me and most of the people I know prefer Buffet 101 than that branch of Vikings. I haven't tried the other branches of Vikings but from videos I've seen, they seem be way better than the branch here. Also, I prefer the buffet in Nustar than in Marco Polo but it's probably just recency bias since I love both.

[@jims_ON]

I really love the humor in describing the food. 😂

[@youshimimi]

Hey Jimmy, can you show us in some video what do you mean by "good looking" and "bad looking" sushi? I am from a landlocked country, all sushi looks like sushi to me and I wouldn't know the difference 😣 It would be cool if you showed us what to look for!

[@maloucarreras]

That delicious purple food is called Ube.

[@AguilosFamilyTV]

When you go to Manila, try the Spiral Buffet and other buffets too.

[@dansam6481]

Maybe next time compare all the three and choose which one is the best value for your money?

[@riptidedre7824]

@jimmy kim you got to try the Spiral Buffet in Manila. Best buffet in the Philippines

[@Dorkdubu]

we have other cheaper buffet jimmy, around 7-8 dollars cheaper than the 18 dollars but you have to find restaurants that are priced like that.

Desserts in buffet are most often underwhelming, as a dessert lover myself. Even Sofitel's Spiral was so-so but their Asian spread is quite good. Very expensive though.

[@jelo5311]

The purple dessert uncle Jimmy is called "Bilo-bilo". The one you ate has ube on it the reason why it's purple.

i think many people go to vikings because bday celebrant is free when they go in group.😂 i think the gravy is lechon sauce.

[@christinebeck544]

Love when you go away and eat good food when you travel to tell us what is good and not so good.

[@kyleco9185]

As a middle-class Filipino, I could say with absolute certainty that Vikings is *not* a family/budget buffet. 😂 Honestly pretty disappointed last time we went there since the food quality kind of dropped in the one we went to, this branch looks promising though.

[@johnlorenzdiaz1048]

I want to be in middle class soon too

Great video 👍🏻👍🏻I tried Viking buffet in Cebu and I think is great value and drinks wine and beer is included. But I tried the expensive buffet in Sofitel Manila and I was disappointed so much the lobster shrimp and seafood was overcooked and dry but the sushi and sashimi was delicious
