Early this week, hubby and I celebrated his birthday. I got up early to hang the H-A-P-P-Y B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y signage, wrapped his gifts and wrote a love letter on a cute greeting card. He woke up to all these surprise elements plus me singing the birthday song. The gifts cracked him with laughter! Why? He thought the giftwrapped toolbox was a box of shoes. I got a little creative. He told me before of his child dream to become a carpenter. So I bought him a toolbox, a saw and construction gloves. I really wanted to make him laugh, I'm so proud because my punchline was a hit!
We decided to go out on a simple lunch and movie date, just like young sweethearts. He loves steaks so we decided to head over Grills and Sizzles in Quezon City. We've tried a number of steak restaurants already and we wanted to find out how this compares with the others.
Grills and Sizzles Steak House is tucked in the corner of the quiet streets of Times and Examiner in Quezon City. It's a small and humbly designed place that gives an inviting welcome to its customers. The restaurant uses warm lighting to add to its friendly appeal and ambiance.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary recently. In the last few years, we've been celebrating it out of town, this time, we decided to just spend the whole day together. Our idea of a simple yet perfect celebration, at least for us, is to have a buffet lunch, watch a movie, have a whole body massage with sauna then at night, have dinner, booze and enjoy a relaxing acoustic music. Fist stop, VIKINGS MOA Luxury Buffet Restaurant.
VIKINGS MOA RESERVATION
Our anniversary fell on a Thursday, I thought the place won't be packed, since it's lunch time and a weekday at that. WRONG!

VIKINGS People and Ambiance:
By the time we got there at exactly 11am, I asked the receptionist for our reserved table and right away, we were escorted by one of their head waiters. The staff were very courteous and competent. The reservation and seating system is organized. They make you feel important and if you are celebrating a special occasion at Vikings, their hospitality and warm welcome may be treated as an icing with topper on your cake. There's a reason why Vikings put Luxury next to it. It's because its sleek and modern design, comfortable seats and well-maintained buffet stations which all add to your pleasant dining experience.
THE FOOD:
There are five main buffet dishes: European, American, Japanese, Chinese and Filipino. Expect a sumptuous feast, a gastronomically satisfying meal awaits. I suggest, eat very little for breakfast if you're having lunch there or little lunch if going for dinner. It's one way you could get value for what you pay for. After all, that's why it's called a buffet. You are encouraged to take portions of food from the different stations with repeat mode on.
Each buffet station offers delectable dishes that guests can relish. For starters, you may serve yourself with cold cuts, bread, salad and soup. Enjoy pasta of your choice or pizza from the European station.

| Penne Pasta with tomato sauce, garlic, bacon, fresh basil leaves and Parmesan cheese. |
Angus Beef, Lamb or Tenderloin Steak with sidings like corn on a cob or potato chips topped with flavorful gravy from the American station.

Delight yourself with the colorful and countless kinds of sushi or satisfy your love for tempura and miso soup from the Japanese station. Help yourself with a cup of Bird's Nest Soup then choose from chicken feet, hakaw, shark's fin, pork siomai or pick them all from the Chinese station. If you are a rice lover, then go and help yourself with Paella Valenciana, grilled seafood or lumpiang sariwa from the Filipino station.

You wouldn't be disappointed with their beverage bar, drink all you want from fruit juices, sodas, coffee, tea, Sago't Gulaman, Batangas hot chocolate and yes, even draft beer. At the back of the restaurant lies the heaven for guests with sweet tooth, which includes myself.

The Dessert station offers unimaginable variety of sweets. Select from halo-halo, chocolate fondue, mousse, cakes, sapin-sapin, puto bumbong, ice cream with countless toppings, candies and a lot more!

We ate for three hours, savoring each meal we took. It was truly an experience worth sharing. Were we satisfied? A resounding yes! Was it worth it? You truly get the best value for what you paid for. Will we recommend it? Of course! Will we come back? Definitely!
