- By request of our friends we did a meetup in South Point at SM City Mall and enjoyed a group lunch at Vikings Buffet. What a great time. Food choices are endless and the atmosphere is wonderful. Clean and well managed with a cheerful staff. Great place to meetup and talk , laugh and everyone can have a type of food choice they like.
We are a Fil Am couple sharing our lives between living in Texas USA and Iloilo City on Panay Island Philippines. We share dealing with two different cultures, building our solid concrete cast in place home beach side and exploring/ seeking new things. We hope you enjoy and join to be part of a bigger family here on this channel.
Thank you for being apart of our channel and lives.

That was great, a lot food sure your carbo tank is full, and the blood sugar is up needs to do some exercise.
James, it was so funny we were in Vikings when you were all sitting there strange to watch your blogs and to see you in person. A good place to eat 👍
Why didn't you come say hello?
@@TexasFilipino was a lot of you and you was eating. We will meet you sometime as we are at same advents quite often at the same time eg Tigbauan switching on of the lights.
We went to the Dinagyang Festival and it was great. I was surpised at how Iloilo had grown since we were there 20 years ago. There were a lot of improvements and better roads. We ate at the Vikings in Manila several months ago, food was good and plentiful, but at my age I couldn't eat as much as I would have liked.
Being a fellow Texan we call that a family reunion, food looked delicious your wife is the life of the party. Enjoy your blessings...
Do I see Tito Tim sitting down the table? He always seem like a decent guy from his blogs.
Yes that was Tito Tim we are all friends. He is from Texas near to where I am from.

What a buffet and meet up. You guys are living life in the Philippines.
Nice to see You out&about enjoying yourselves....
Fairly new to Iloilo will need to try that place out with my fiancé looks soooo Namit.
Ma Sarap ! Welcome to Iloilo. Where are you living? we have a group that gets together sometimes. All really solid people. Maybe we can meet sometime.
@@TexasFilipino Living just outside of Iloilo city, that would be nice to meet you guys sometime, camera shy so maybe off camera lol
I always for that fish jaw (can’t remember the fish).. they’d roast it and it’s so good, light too
OMG 😳 I’ve never seen anything like that!
I miss getting together with friends. If they only didn't live 6 states away.😥 That's a very nice buffet. The closest one to me is about 30 miles away. I might need to go on a road trip after watching this. 😊
Not Ya PAW PAW I know how you feel Po . I miss it so much myself .My folks are a little further away than yours all of them are with Jesus in heaven & I miss all of them alot .Bro I'm the last one of my blood family so I don't have to wonder who Jesus will call next in my family it will be me . Like the old song One is the loneliest number you will ever do . God Bless & Mabuhay Po .
Pretty pplace.
Talked with my buddy in Tyler yesterday.. Some icy cold weather down your way...Good thing you drained the pipes...
Appropriately named restaurant, Vikings know how to make a spread... 👨🍳👩🍳
I only missed seeing a hotdish (a term found in use up north in Minnesota)... 😄
Great reason for the gang to get together and tell some tall tales...Good food and good people... 🤔
What's more important than that (except family?)??? Life is sooooo good... 😊
Sun is back in Dubai, BTW...Rain was short but sweet...Temps still heat wave compared to Vikings territory... 😄

🙏🙏🙏
👍😎👍
Good Evening.. Let's Go
Good evening to you too
Nice video! New subscriber here!
Most of the men look 10 plus years older than you James. It is good to see that a mix of ages can blend together for a meal there.
they are anywhere from 10 to 25 years older than me. I am the youngest in the group. I enjoy them all.
ALL THE VIKINGS ARE FRANCHISES ? THE LAYOUTS DIFFERENT? THERE IS VERY BIG ONE IN BACOLODA . WE VISIT THERE A LOT . YUMMY .
James and Melinda, you both made this video so inviting that you’ve placed Iloilo City on my bucket list to visit. I hope to one day visit you folks with my daughter in tow, and to experience one of your gorgeous sunsets! Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
we hope so too Ted
Wow nice place beautiful
Yes it is
@@TexasFilipino so there is your boat 🚢 update did putting in engine yet ? I'm sure that you would have needed sand make sure all good put power sealed waterproof glue on board of back boat I hope watching your show those great ❤
I enjoyed the vikings in bacolod , very varied and not expensive. Looking forward to the similar buffet in the peninsula manila in April then over to bacold again . Can’t wait to be back in the sunny Philippines again 😂
Beautiful place to eat, just don't late. Not many food choices.
There is always lots of food choices in this Vikings. I would have to disagree
That was one awesome looking buffet. James I know you couldn't video every menu item, but must ask about seafood.
Crab? Shrimp?
I remember a Viking restaurant in Riyadh Saudi Arabia but it was menu only. Prices were reasonable
Vikings such a good restaurant to eat at 😋👍
It really is!
If I ever get to that part of the Philippines I will definitely stop by there it looks delicious. What is the cost about $25 US per person?
I live halfway down the Zamboanga Pennisula in Mindanoa island.
That looked so good...so many choices.
I have never seen a buffet like that in the Philippines. I would love to take my wife there on my next visit.
Makes sure Mel isn't looking.... Carbs, carbs , carbs , carbs. Joking! Did you get my msg text? If not don't worry about it! Oh we're watching you on the big screen 🥰
My biggest problem with buffets like that is I like to try almost everything and there is WAY TO MUCH EVERYTHING at that buffet. It really looks so delicious too.
Did I hear you say carnivore that’s how I lost over 50 pounds from July 1922 to now started out at 300 down to 246 anyways great video
It's not a good idea watching this while I'm hungry.
Can I ask you has your wife given up on her garden if so why because I miss her but do not till my Philippine wife hehe Tony from England
Hi Tony how u doing?regarding with ur question about my garden im still working on it..i have been busy working the daily chores and i cant keep up my garden outside🤪weeds ang grass growing crazy..
You sure know how to make a person hungry. By the way, we went to Texas Roadhouse in Terrell recently, and the family loved it.
That Viking looks great, closest to us is in SM Pampanga in San Fernando and it didnt look as nice as this one so we passed
Santa is one of your subscribers😳 now I know what he does in his spare time, he vacations in the Philippines😂
🤣
Actually Ray does Santa professionally. In fact he was booked this past Christmas by SM Mall and a few other places.
2nd time i'm the 1st like on your videos. Tell me again how did you stop the birds banging into your windows?
They turn out to be good in a soup lol jk
I would like to join your expat group if you have one, I live in Roxas City but do gown there sometimes (kinda a long drive though). Been here just over 3 years, haven't left, wife and a 2 year old son. Would love to meet ya as I lived in Texas for 20+ years(Abilene and Sweetwater areas)and consider it home.
I also hail from Texas San Antonio to be exact. Been coming to the Philippines since 2015, moved here in 2017. Lived in Cavite for 2.5 years. Made the mistake of visiting the states March 2020 and Boom the world sniffles contest started my 1 month stay in America ended up being a 2.5 year stay. Got back to the phils September 2022.
@@garyharris4361 also from San Antonio. Moving from Camotes Island to Iloili late summer
I am the admin over the group and it is by invite. I will send you a link to our group and invite you in if you actually want to meet up. We dont do politics or world issues in our group. We dont want the mongering type or disrespectful types. We have a good fun clean group that everyone gets along although I did boot one guy. LOL

how much was buffet
🇵🇭🇵🇭🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️🤠👍🏻
Kind of weird hour for you to publish a video
We missed that place.
You guys have an expat group like Facebook that we can join once we get back to Iloilo?
Yes we do - I manage it - lets us know when your back
Thank you James. We are hoping to be back in Iloilo for good in July.
Mitch and Amy
Can you do a doggy bag in Viking or is it not allowed?
Not allowed
Hi James. Quick question. Have you ever seen trout for sale or a place to fish for it over there?
no I have not
Thank you. I smoke trout here in Germany and was hoping when I move to the Philippines that I can continue smoking them there but I have never seen any in a wet market. Guess I will have to stick to saltwater. Salmon is also good. Thanks again. Love your videos. Can’t wait to come by and see you and Mel once we are done with our build.
@@scottmunro4250any oily fish can be smoked but I sure you know that. Use to smoke salmon when I lived in Oregon and California. Now I’m in Florida and all the salmon seems to be farm raised and expensive. Mullet will do…
@@TomBTerrific thank you for the tip. I see salmon in the wet markets in the Philippines I will have to try the mullet
I'm very curious about how much it costs per person at Vikings? I'm guessing 1000p. Am I close?
Vikings is 888 in the week and 999 at weekends
its more complex than that. If its your birth month you get a discount , if its your birthday its free ( not sure if you have to have few people with you for that) If you have a group over certain size you get discount or two people eat free. ( Mel and I ate free this trip ) If your a senior you also get a discount.
❤❤❤👍👍👍🍲🍛☕🍢🍻🍻🍻
