sumptuous lunch @ the spiral, sofitel philippine plaza

Last Thursday, September 11, Claire and I had a sumptuous lunch at The Spiral of Sofitel Philippine Plaza [formerly Westin Philippine Plaza].

The Spiral was newly renovated and opened middle of this year. It has many buffet station catering meditteranian, korean, chinese, western, japanese and many more.

Entrance to Spiral coming from the lobby of
Sofitel Philippine Plaza

Another entrance going to The Spiral using the elevator.

The intricate iron works of the stairs, lamps,
and decorations at the buffet stations.
It reminded me of "Gosireh" BYJ's
restaurant in Japan.


Buffet lunch or dinner is very cheap, it's only Php850++ [less than US$20]. You'll get your money's worth.

This side is overlooking the pool side and bay side.

One of the buffet station...the Chinese station.

Table for 4. Their utensils especially the knives,
are very different from the others which i've seen.
I love the water glass. Love the gree design ^^

This is the seafood station. Crabs, oysters, mussels, and many more. There are so many kinds of sauce that you can choose from.

Mountain full of seafoods...so yummy!

Mussels and crabls...delicious!

The dessert station is full of so many mouthwatering desserts too. Below are just 4 kinds of. There are creme brulles, crepes, "halo halo"[a filipino dessert with crushed ice, sweetend beans & fruits, tapiocca, leche flan, jelly, ube, ice cream, milk and lots more, really delicious] cookies, many kinds of cake, ice cream, fruits and many many more.


Dining at The Spiral, you'll even get the chance to see the beautiful sunset if you would choose to stay for a while after lunch or walk at the pool area or have some appetizer befor going to dinner.

The lunch was we had was actually a business lunch. I broung along Claire with me since she heads the Awards and Paraphernalia Committee of our NRP. We were at Sofitel Phil Plaza to have an ocular of their newly renovated rooms. And I'm so happy with the new look of the new deluxe and executive suites.

Here are some photos again~

The complimentary fruits in each room. The big
fruit i believe is passion fruit.

This is the deluxe room. I just love that
hanging capiz lamp^^

Another shot of the deluxe room. This is the twin sharing room.

The executive suite.

The love seat at the executive suite.

The plasma tv in the executive suite and the study table.

The rain shower in the executive suite.
See that tiles? I love them!

Of course the ocular will not be complete if we do not pose for the camera ^^

Claire

then of course me ^^

Just before lunch, we asked the waiter to take our photo with Pier, our very pretty account executive.
Thanks Pier for the sumptous lunch! Hope to be back in The Spiral on November.

Btw, we didn't get to take photos of the other buffet station because we were already too busy eating and we forgot all about it. ^^

Very nice review, have dined here about about 3 years ago. I will definitely come back. Btw, the big fruit is not a passion fruit but a dragon fruit. Thanks
