$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.

Hi Jimmy, the Purple dessert soup is called "Binignit". The famous Cebuano dish is traditionally made with glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk with various slices of sabá bananas, taro, ube, jack fruit, and sweet potato, among other ingredients. Also, the dish is traditionally served during Good Friday of Holy Week. Some places in the Philippines have their own version of this dish as well.

[@ryanyu102]

Thought it was ginataan

[@melodiaesto9184]

​@@ryanyu102same, just named differently. In Aklan, we call Ginataang Halo Halo as Eangkuga

[@ynnos5555]

But I think he missed to scoop some glutinous rice balls. All he’s eating are the sago pearls. It’s a shame coz the texture of the glutinous rice balls might be familiar to him as a Korean. It’s like a dessert type & soft tteokbokki.

[@ryanyu102]

@@ynnos5555 true but personally, glutinous rice balls and tteokbokki aren't really my cup of tea. While I like the tteokbokki sauce, not a big fan of the texture. So I would probs also gotten what he has gotten as well.

Nah, it's piccolo's blood

[@arman13javier]

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.

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.

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

[@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!

This was awesome I just finally finished watching it after I've gotten off work great video jimmy

[@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.

i hope you tried different kinds of lechon in cebu

[@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

[@carmelia1518]

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

[@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 😆

[@__june24v__]

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.

[@christinalemke6780]

[@kamanama3671]

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

[@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.

[@angelicagrace8248]

You should go to nustar there Buffett is nice too

[@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 😁.

[@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]

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.

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.

I love your videos Jimmy, I'm sure I've seen every one on this channel at least. As a Swede I'd be so entertained to see you come film in Europe, I know flights and accommodation are more expensive but I think if you do and act a bit like a sexy, clueless oppar it could open you up to a whole new viewer base!
