@TimLeeLetsGo thank you so much

[@lynnchurchill3887]

What a lovely presentation this buffet has. I love that they offer personal portions and how clean it was. I'm sure the hotpot broth was nourishing, and it looked so satisfying. Love the trays they give you to use, especially the dessert tray. Thank you so much Tim. Happy Holidays!

[@katiebice3905]

I do not care for raw fish or seafood but LOVE tempura seafood and veggies. I always grab those first. Thank you for your videos. You are such a nice person and the way you treat and interact with people makes my heart and soul feel good. It would be wonderful if all of us followed your example. I hope you have a WONDERFUL Holiday Season filled with friends, family, love and lots of laughter.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Oh, it's a lot of fun and really glad that everyone there was so convivial. It's interesting because I suspect that in the philippines, a lot of time will be spent with family friends and in traffic 😁. A very happy holidays to you and yours!

[@carlos1721buble]

Tim loving your channel since I met you in Buffet Town I’m the bald guy from the UK lol😂 We loved the food there and it was a pleasure meeting you ❤

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Quite nice to get to explore all the different places in manila. Just a bit hot though 🙂

[@nicolesydneylife]

@ is it humid hot?

[@riayap8501]

I really learn a lot of the Buffet scene from your videos. Thank you for making such informative and entertaining content. Btw, I checked and it’s 25.1KM from Manila hotel to GH.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

No wonder it took so long!!! 😁

[@dwaynewladyka577]

An excellent looking buffet in Manila. Hope you have a Merry Christmas. Cheers, Tim and God Bless! 👍👍✌️🎄🇨🇦

“making your own road” (angkas/joy ride) 😂 can’t believe he took a “habal habal” motorcycle ride. yes, it’s good to use that option when you absolutely, positively have to go to a place during traffic specially when it’s almost Christmas in Manila…

One of these days I hope to experience hotpot, it looks so delicious!

[@LouisLuzuka]

So happy 😊

[@marlies7444]

Tim, Merry Christmas to you and your family. I thought this buffet was just perfect. I am personally not into the seafood type buffet. I love shrimp and sushi, but Oysters, clams, and crab (I do like already shelled crab legs) I do not care for. So this buffet had everything I would like and eat. Loved that box for the dessert.

[@rustycraig]

Bringing us the tasty goodness as always…. Bless Up Tim … Cheers 🍻

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much and wishing you and yours a great holiday!

[@jimvandam123]

Always the positive attitude. I don't think I can eat buffet all of the time. Through your positive, the food shown seem to be much more appealing.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

This was great and very well presented. The grill stations were quite amazing. But yeah, it was quite a bit too many buffets ,😉

[@SoxRoxBoston]

Once I saw that you were there the previous night I knew that it was a good Buffet. Also you had so many things to try that you didn't fully use the Hot Pot... not a bad problem 😋

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was a very enjoyable meal and glad that the friends Sam and Carla recommended this place. Nice to try out the new buffets in town

[@noryvitalaaron4109]

Good morning Tim. Oh my, I'm so sad to hear that the Spiral Buffet is not there anymore. The place is actually my favorite place to go for a buffet. It's the only place here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 where I can get foie gras, my favorite. I'll also missed their cheese room. Anyway the food in that place looks so yummy specially the Japanese station. Japanese food is one of my favorite food. I love sushi. When I lived in the US I ate sushi at least 3 times a week. You're making my mouth watery. That salmon looked so delicious. I also loved a good Thai food. The laksa looks so yummy and comforting. Thank you for featuring this place. I would definitely love to try it. Enjoy your stay here and happy eating. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 🎄☃️🎉🎄☃️🎉

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much and definitely lots of good memories at the spiral buffet. It is a shame but I'm happy to say I think I found a place that would be a great alternative 😁😁😁

[@tomm2812]

Tim, A nice buffet. I would be in absolute heaven with these food offerings. Asian foods are pretty much my favorite foods. I am unable to pick out what would be my favorite. I think the cheesy oysters. It is December here as well this 4am temperature was bitter cold -5°F below zero. About 4 inches of snow on the ground with another 4 inches plus predicted for tonight and tomorrow. I dug out wool Irish cable knit turtle neck sweater that I bought 50 years ago...it fits nicely... heavy canvas pants over Marino Wool longhandles held up with suspenders. Thinking spring I stopped out to my rented Church garden to fertilize with coffee grounds and eggshells. Dinner this evening is cheese curls, Great Lakes Whitefish dip, melon slices, homemade beef jerky, tonic water and a single malt beverage. Not near as good as your fine Asian buffet. Wishing you, Tim, a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and the Best in the New Year. 🎄✨️☃️...🕊

[@jedsoriano4615]

Wow you are here welcome to the Philippines

[@juliamorrison798]

Merry Christmas!

Hey Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!

[@subaruamazon]

wow. enjoy your travels. I still have to go to that 49 all u can eat steak house near Macy's

[@francy2127]

I wonder how can someone eat so Much in so little time 🫢notice how courteous the people in the restaurants. They are not greedy with Tips… unlike here in USA. I know I live here in Los Angeles and go home to my beautiful Philippines

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

This was quite enjoyable and the service and hosts were fantastic. I actually really like the system in the philippines. Many places do add on a service charge so everything is transparent. I'm not too fond of the crazy tipping culture in North America

[@benjaminnguyen554]

If it is worth the trip from Vancouver to Manila, must be straight delicious! 😎

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Well, maybe a bit exaggerated but always a fantastic trip to Manila

[@jtatl3311]

Merry Christmas

[@chesterarenas]

This is very useful information. Although, coming up with a Spiral Buffet "replacement" seems impossible. I will definitely try Cafe Ylang Ylang for a starter!

[@bryanariola5276]

Sir tim so polite 😊

[@cicchiamichael]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🙂🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽😋😋Looks like a best buffet to me. 😀😀

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Love the live stations

[@qidongxu7339]

Everything looks so yummy. We don't need lobsters, crab legs and prime ribs to be the best buffet. All the foods here are well prepared and look good

[@jadehom8067]

Tyvm and yqw Tim ❤😊

[@JamesPidkowa]

Once again Asia rules For $25 that is crazy for what you get You can spend more money at Macdonlds 😂😂😂 Love it keep up the great work

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I totally agree! I am actually quite surprised at how much even places like McDonald's are charging

[@anthonycirami8500]

Delicious

[@fpshooterful]

This would be EASILY close to 50 dollars here in Toronto, Canada. $25 dollars is a steal!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It's very good value especially for the fattier meats and the grilled items. Lots of seafood and very enjoyable

[@MrScotttruong]

wow 90mins on a 6 mile journey,.. :). but you can't beat $25 buffet. LOL

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

I have since found that in manila, often walking can be faster...

[@lcompton3190]

Everything looks yummy! You'll have to pay $125+ for all that food here in the US.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

The deals and value are certainly great in the philippines. But still always enjoy a Vegas buffet

[@robinrosen3236]

Hi, Tim!! I'm beginning to suspect you have a hollow leg LOL 🤔. Hygiene-wise, i like that they serve you and not everyone is touching tongs, but that usually means you're getting much more food than you probably would have taken yourself. That was A LOT of food!! I love that you always make a new friend while you travel or when you're waiting on line ❤. I have to imagine you're a very fun and chill travel partner. Thank you for always bringing us great food and experiences...what a fantastic year traveling with you. Hoping you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Boxing Day. Sending all the love 💕

Yay, I know personally I've got to look jolly to be jolly ha ha ha!

Is this Dr Nicholas clause?

@@TimLeeLetsGo The buffet has lots of nutrition, Santa has just a tour of cookies!

WOW Tim that was a lot of food 😅.

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

It was certainly a feast!!!😋

[@Qwinnlan]

Biggest pet peeve for me when they bring over unrequested dishes. It begs for food waste, otherwise forces you to waste valuable tummy real-estate! Glad it doesn't leave you half as perturbed! 😭

[@joycecajala2565]

This area is in Greenhills right?

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Yes, I left the details in the video description. Hope you get a chance to give it a try

[@kenchiang699]

Separate note from the video...learned about Vessi from you and place an order 3 weeks ago and haven't HEARD back from Vessi. Thought that you might want to know the kind of company that you are recommending. Really regret ordering from Vessi. Love your videos though. Keep going!

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about that! Did you contact their support? They're usually pretty good and please don't hesitate to share your experience here.

@@JamesPidkowaWrong! It is because The Sofitel already closed. The building is already old.

just a trivia for that location. it used to be a chinese restaurant where wedding receptions and birthdays are frequently held named UNO seafood restaurant. but it unfortunately burned down during around covid. so yea. this took over. and ever since been wondering what's inside. most vlogs ive seen on this place were paid vlogs and too short. so i really could not get an idea about the place. but yea. thanks to tim. LoLs. idk if youre still here but there's an ayce dimsum called yum dum din for under 1k pesos. could be worth a try for yoy

[@TimLeeLetsGo]

Thank you so much for the details.. also appreciate the suggestion for the dim sum. Will have to add that to the list

It's 10 km from the Manila Hotel that took an hour and a half to get there.... I'm just complaining about the traffic again 😉... I left the details and the address in the video description. Hope you get a chance to visit 🙂
