| Vikings: The largest luxury buffet restaurant in the country today is now open in Davao
New restaurants have been opening in Davao in the recent months, but I have never encountered such hype and excitement for a new buffet restaurant such as Vikings' even weeks before it actually opened its doors last September. Luckily, I was given a complimentary dinner for four which allowed me to bring my family last week. All the questions in my head were answered as I came in by their entrance door.
Firstly, I have to say that the modern Filipino interior design of the restaurant was simply elegant. With a quick glance of the food all over the place, you'd literally be floored just by looking at their wide selection of their dishes, beverages and desserts. It was like a huge buffet treat being prepared for all Davaoeno foodies.
Located inside the SM Lanang Premier, just fronting the Fountain Court, they have a large capacity to accommodate 500 guests at a time. Being the first branch outside Metro Manila, this says a lot about Davao as a growing hub for business and tourism.

| These sugary (good news! they are not overly sweet) cronuts go best with Go Nuts' Vietnamese coffee |
I've been hearing a lot about cronuts in the past few weeks, and I see people are going gaga over this latest pastry craze. I am quite intrigued and was wondering how it is different with the conventional donuts. Good thing I was able to sample Go Nuts version of the cronuts during a food tasting last week.
Cronut first became popular in New York early this year and is described as a sugary heaven giving you the goodness of both worlds, hence the description, "half donut, half croissant". It is baked from laminated dough as a croissant with decadent cream filling, fried to perfection as a donut then topped with fruit toppings. Viola! We now have the cronut!

While everyone raves about loving the coffee from Starbucks, it is wonderful to know that they serve delectable sandwiches, too. They also regularly change their menu to serve and delight their customers with something new.
Each of the sandwich variants has a distinctive flavor which I could say I have never tried anywhere else. I specially love the different kinds of bread they use, a single bite will tell you that its baked to perfection with high-quality ingredients.

During our stop, they showed us their latest offering of flavorful Japanese rolls: Volcano, Crazy Maki, Tsuru and Godzilla rolls. Their presentation was so inviting that we couldn't wait to take a bite of these delightful dishes. (Of course, we were that patient to wait for several minutes while co-bloggers took turns to take shots and snaps for our respective blogs)
So here they are, feast your eyes on rolls that are truly Japanese:

I instantly felt at home because Mam Bebs serves most of my favorite food and if you have a sweet tooth, you'll sure be in for a treat. You've got to try their famous Apple Pie (one of the best in Davao City), Egg pie, Chocolate Cake, Palabok, Custard Cake and a lot more. They also serve rice meals, the one I tasted was the Double Cooked Adobo meal combo (with rice and soup) and I love it! The best thing about dining here is their very affordable price. A good meal will only cost you less than a hundred bucks! Plus, the place is a WIFI hotspot and it's fully air-conditioned as well. Very good deal, eh?
