Unlimited Wine and Appetizer Buffet at Vu's Sky Bar Marco Polo Ortigas Manila

While I support the purveyors of the unlimited rice movement, I must admit that I’m more interested in a different kind of free-flowing fare.

Appetizer Buffet at Vu’s Sky Bar and Lounge

Need I say more? The Vu’s Sky Bar and Lounge at the Marco Polo Ortigas Manila offers an Aperitivo Buffet from Thursday to Saturday for only Php 899.

The pre-dinner spread is inspired by the Italian aperitivo, a pre-dinner ritual meant to whet one’s appetite. Frankly though, after a few glasses of wine and a couple of hours indulging in this buffet, I’m not certain that dinner will be on your mind.

Unlimited wine and beer plus an appetizer buffet with bread, cheese, cold cuts and salads.
They served a crisp, white wine from Italy and a California red. I’m not a wine expert but I’ve tried enough labels to know that these were chosen well. They are clearly not full-bodied and heavy so they don’t weigh you down before dinner. On the other hand, these are fairly young wines that are meant to serve the purpose of getting your system ready for a hearty supper.

The buffet starts off with a salad bar. The fresh, vibrant greens are paired with a selection of salad dressings. Take your pick and build your own salad.

If you’re looking for something heavier, there is also a selection of pasta salads and couscous:

Sticking to the Mediterranean vibe, there are bowls of marinated olives, peppers and artichokes swimming in olive oil. Healthy but extremely decadent at the same time!

If you are hankering for some carbs, Don’t worry, there’s no shortage of our starchy friends either. There’s a potato salad and a selection of freshly baked bread:

Where there is bread, there should also be cold cuts and cheese. I know I have been going on about the light selections here but in the interest of full disclosure, I gravitated more towards the cheese platter and cold cuts.

On a clear day, the sunset can be enjoyed from the outside seating area. In the early evening,  you can also see the twinkling lights of the Ortigas CBD and the surrounding residential areas. We went on a gloomy day but the view from the 45th floor deck was still captivating.

Don’t just take my word for it, take your happy hour to a whole new level and enjoy this great deal. If you’re looking for something more wholesome, you can also enjoy afternoon tea at the Connect Lounge at the Marco Polo Hotel.

This unique dish combines traditional ramen flavors with a theatrical presentation, served on a sizzling hot bowl to enhance the aroma and flavor profile.  Are you curious yet? My friends and I trooped over to Kureji at Ali Mall, Araneta City and sat down for a fun catch-up session over a carefully curated lunch spread. Of course, we had to try their signature Sizzling Tomato Seafood Ramen.  Sizzling Tomato and Seafood Ramen I was a bit skeptical about the tomato-based broth at first, fearing that it might taste more like pasta. However, the rich seafood flavor definitely came through, with just a hint of the tomato tang. The sizzling presentation was definitely interesting, and the interactive experience of timing the exact moment to pour the...

Fishcake Myeongdong is one of the most popular tourist districts in the center of Seoul, Korea. Located just on the foot of Mount Namsan and the famous N Seoul Tower, you can’t miss this area if you’re on a tour of the city. One of the big reasons for a visit? Lots of great shopping opportunities and a bustling street food market! In the video below, my friends and I try to sample as much of the food as we can. We  give you honest reviews of each item so that you’ll know what you can’t miss and what you can skip when you visit Myeongdong Street Food Market. Off the top of my head, I highly recommend: 1.

Korean Egg Bread (Gyeran-ppang/bbang) 2. Steak: I can’t be sure if this is the highly regarded Korean beef (Hanwoo) or not. However, I can guarantee that the beef they sell on the street here is much be...
