$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.

[@Lisabella2323]

It is Bilo Bilo

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!

[@spice_pepper]

subscribed because the way he’s explaining the foods is hilarious, he’s funny.

[@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.

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

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

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.

[@jadelynn1703]

Happy New Year Uncle Jimmy!!!

[@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

[@rheyartango9865]

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

[@Pheelyp]

I'm glad that Jimmy was honest with the many things he didn't like with the food served at the buffets he went to here in the Philippines. 11:08 "One thing I wasn't impressed by was their Filipino food." 11:35 "It seems that many of the food items here, it looks nice but doesn't quite taste nice." 18:00 "Maybe I'll have some of their sushi but never mind, it doesn't look very good, like it's not even worth an experiment." 20:48 "This is enough to know that you probably don't want to try sushi when you go to a buffet in Cebu."

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

[@Aanonymous88]

Nice to have an honest opinion to a country that can't accept criticism. But every province has different cultures especially Cebu. At least I have an idea where to try a buffet in Cebu.

I know I would have a humbling GREAT 🤣time restaurant hopping with you! Good memories great times, great times 🤣

[@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

[@mackenziesplanet]

The purple dessert is called "binignit" 😊

[@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.

[@Akenju]

purple thing is called ube 8:10

[@LoneWolf-wl3he]

I'm from cebu and I'm glad you visited our city.. Compared to manila I think cebu is better... You should've had tried letchon which is the main food for events.

[@ZenitsuAgatsuma7890]

I cracked when I heard "It looks like Piccolo's blood". Now I can't unsee that and probably will remember that for the rest of my life. I'd laugh whenever I see that dish and remember this vlog. Thank you.

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

[@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 😆

[@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.

[@Zazafruit]

Come to America!

[@joshrillo]

Bro you should try spiral buffet.

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

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.
