Tyvm for another wonderful video. Left us hanging on the coffee jelly lol how was it?

[@ginatslasvegasfoodandtrave4187]

We’ve been following you because I love the fact that you’re very pleasant, polite and courteous. You are very professional at all times but still very honest with your good reviews. We appreciate you and you can probably teach a lot of other vloggers a thing or two.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙂... undeservingly so. Very grateful to get the visit and share these experiences 🙂

Hi Tim, Greetings from England. Saw you on the BBC recently. I am very excited for you that your super polite and courteous attitude appears to be gaining you more widespread exposure. Love the videos.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was so nice to get to eat with Grace and her crew! She is such a professional 🙂

[@alphaomega6365]

Thanks for reviewing the buffets in Manila and you're indeed a great reviewer. Personally, the best hotel buffet that I've tried is Cafe Ilang Ilang at the Manila Hotel. I like that better than Spiral and Fresh. They have different themes for dinner and lunch is usually international. If you have time try to visit it on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday at night where they serve lobsters and steak.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much for the suggestion! Would love to visit the cafe ilang ilang at the Manila Hotel... Sounds pretty impressive

[@valnarehood834]

Everything looks so delicious! And Tim, the way you enjoy it, I can completely identify, down to the cracking open of the beer! You are definitely a guy after my own heart. Keep on keeping on! Cheers to you!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was quite a nice experience and incredibly busy and festive. Thank you again and yeah, the beer hit the spot 🙂

[@DavidSriracha]

Congrats on the sponsorship and BBC broadcast Tim 🥳 I can't believe this buffet is only $21 🤯I recently visited a $12.99 Filipino buffet and was initially pleased with the price. However, after watching your video, I am now uncertain about the quality of the deal 😆 avocado ice cream 😮 welcome back and happy New Year !

Philippine buffets are amazing. The Vikings brand has made food variety available to common folks and hopefully that helps kids grow into bigger adults instead of being raised with starch and sugar. 😂 Trying out Niu, Shangri-La’s Highstreet Cafe, or Sofitel’s Spiral next would only make sense!

[@lelanquach9325]

The beginning of your video is a nice show off. The show off of the sea wall and walking by the shoreline and sea side is a nice feeling. And seeing lots of open modern spaces with people waiting around the Bumper UFO Viking Bay View Windows to hear their number to be called and to be seated. The food is a nice show off, but, however, your fantastic experience eating at this buffet is limited to the beautiful pooh pew platter that got you to feel full and thinking about the Hamburger, Fried Potato Fries, at the Shake Shack, and the Cup of Iced Beer or Soda or Sweet Fountain Bubble drink, might of satisfied you more after you completed the Buffet and after you had looked around and tried trying out eating and checking out the steaming hot foods. Good Appetizers Small Poof to Goon Boon Bun Do Do Bo Bo Bubble Bites and Intake! Yay! Sour Sop Studious small munches bites and small eats. Lots of wonderful taste that will still leave you still hungry for more food. This is a nice show off video.
