I just love how respectful Tim is to all employees by acknowledging them by name, regardless where he goes and is so kind and courteous. I wish all people were like him 👍
Because of status and appearance, if they see you look like rich person you can get that kind of service, but if you look like an ordinary people, you can't get that kind of services
Spiral will always be on my top buffets in the Philippines. Wonderful selection of a wide variety of cuisines, but I especially appreciate their cold cuts and cheeses.
when you went for the head of the giant shrimp, i confirmed to myself that you really appreciate the intricacies of detailed flavoring. the taste of that part of the shrimp is so subtle yet so complex.
timmmmmmmm i just found you and i am so happy. ive done all the huge food bloggers but they become so produced and its so nice to hang out with you so normal and relaxed . THANK Y OU
I went to the Spiral in 2018...excellent. I came back to Canada and had the opportunity to go to Vegas the following month. I went to the Bachanal to compare and basically...there is no comparison. Eating at The Bachanal after the Spiral was like eating at a soup kitchen!!
Hi Tim ! I like the way you describe the food. Of all the vloggers i have watched who ate in Spiral , you are my favorite ! Not in a hurry to eat, and to explain whats on your plate . Very satisfying to watch ! What do you mean by the smell of the cheese room is wonderful , but just for a short time ? I would love to try that iberico hams , also the different butter spreads ! And so much more ! Will not leave without getting those seafoods ! I think the large shrimps you got is called ULANG . My favorite ! The rice cake is called PUTO BUNGBONG ! I got hungry after watching this !
I watch a lot of reviews on buffets, and they NEVER get breads and butters and cheeses . So, I want to say thank you!!!! Thank you for showing me something different! This place looks amazing :)
I could feel my cholesterol levels going up watching you eat the butter and cheese dishes. You make the best buffet and dinning videos on YT. Keep eating well and stay healthy for the holidays and the coming New Year.
I almost lost it when I saw the cheese room! I have seen other You Tubers do this restaurant, but for some reason you always make me want evrything you eat!
Asian buffets are soooo much better. One thing you'll notice is that they almost always have hot food being prepared in small batches so usually way fresher. American buffets are more about herding in and the dessert stations are such a sugar bomb.
Hard to watch this while hungry and in cold Canada. More awesome food and a nice warm climate. I hope you have a Merry Christmas. Cheers Tim and God Bless! ✌️🇨🇦
Thanks Tim for another Delicious Video. That Buffett was the Disneyland of Buffetts. Everything looked Amazing, from the food to the decor. Take Care and Stay Safe. 🦞
Thank you Tim.i am your subscriber a Filipino but working herebin Rome. And my son is leaving in BGC .SO,VISIT THAT BEAUTIFUL place in Makati..Thank you for visiting Philippines. I will go home and visit Philippines this January.enjoy your stay in Philippines and Fiilipino are friendly.
You made it to the Spiral Tim!! World's best buffet imho. So cool that Carlo poured you a lovely New Zealand Cloudy Bay white wine to start your epic meal....cheers from Aotearoa NZ.
Food from this place looks so much better on video than in person. Everything looks so fresh and complete. Hoping my next weekend dinner experience from Spiral is as good as shown on the video.
i believe what i watch but when i try it i was disappointed most of the good stuff is gone,,, I recon they only have i the good stuff when vlogger is around
Almost felt bad that you didn’t get to try their foie gras in the pasta station. Spiral buffet is really luxurious and kind of overwhelming. Its so huge! You should also try the unlimited wagyu at the HEAT buffet in Edsa Shangri-La they call it mad for wagyu and they have it every Saturday. In all the buffets in metro manila Spiral is definitely my number 1 followed by Heat in Edsa Shangrila and Fresh buffet in Solaire. Outside of the hotel buffets, my top 3 buffet restaurants are, chef Laudico Guevarra’s in san juan, Dad’s world buffet in quezon city and sambokojin. Love your vlogs Tim. Continue doing what your doing. Hopefully you could go back in Spiral and try their foi gras. Lol. Bless you brother.
love my vessi's!! bought two pair of weekenders for myself, 2 for my elderly father (needs the great no slip grip), and also my friend who has a boat charter business - great onboard! Noticed they were also featured on below deck show, so cool!
Wow!! Thank you for another wonderful and informative video. Always so refreshing to see you so kind to the staff and the people you interact with!! Keep up the hard work Tim
Tim - If you like stinky cheese Christmas is the time to get it. Many cheese stores import the best around the holidays. France and Switzerland have many soft rind soft and semi-firm cheeses that fall under what you're looking for. I had a good something called Vacherin Mont d'Or that was soft rind and had the consistency of honey which you could drizzle on a baguette. I would also recommend Delice de Bourgogne. It is smooth like butter. Others I would recommend you would like are Chateau de Bourgogne and Saint Augur. The last one is blue but is soft and tastes wonderful.
omg I am salivating while you are eating Tim... I am Barbara from Philippines but i live in Toronto since 1991 I went home in 2016 but i only had restaurant meals in my city but i will definitely visit that Buffet next time i go home thank you for showcasing Phillipine's finest buffet places😋😋😋😋😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏
I noticed some comments about Tim being greedy. Either you don’t watch many of his videos or don’t pay attention. He as far as I see always finishes everything he takes. It amazes me sometimes the quantity! Aloha Tim
Hi tim great video wow soooo much good food I bet you needed a nap after all that food😀 it's looks worth every penny. Looking forward to the next episode thanks for sharing Tim
You're always a joy, but we love these travel episodes:) We have a few artist friends in the Manila too. Sofitel is so festive and beautiful. Sorry, you can keep the Balut, but everything else was prefect. Sending Best Wishes and Blessings, James and Kim (also huge thanks for your comments on our channel❤)
Yes, I agree. When I first experienced the removal of the balut from the shell, I almost gagged. I love pancit guisado, lechon and Filipino cuisine in general, but I can forego balut!!!
@24:10..I'll die for that, now am jealous...@36:20 Puto Bombung a famous Filipino dessert being cooked during New Year's Eve or Christmas or Town Fiesta definitely I'll visit Spiral Buffet
Omg! A must ! Will definitely visit this place. The buffet looks so inviting. Makes me so hungry... definitely this is way better than Vegas😀. Thanks Tim for this video
Ok this is 1 of my longest review. Amazing buffet, wish u had let us know how the stinky cheese tasted like? Loved how they did the duck wrapped up,the mussel egg fry looked delicious. 1st time I saw u take very big bites, over/over. I have a glass of wine when I watch ur videos and enjoy w/u. Beautiful spiral interior. I put this on my bucket list. Thanks 4 sharing,great job,shared w/love. The sashimi looked so fresh.but I didn't see no fresh ginger? Loved the different stations absolutely delicious, Warmly Cooks
Hi Tim, so glad you were able to have enough room in your stomach for my favorite soft shell crabs. Also, you are so brave to try balut again and that is my sister’s favorite. Another great video food adventure.
Everything looks so delicious love watching you eat good interesting food I would love to travel and eat good food one day keep bringing the videos I love it and you ❤❤😊😊
What a cool buffet place Tim for all the years I've lived here in the Philippines I've never been there before. What 90 bucks for a dinner buffet ? places like that are supposed to be cheaper here in the Philippines
Perfection Indeed!!! An absolutely amazing place to be for relaxation and holiday. Thank you for this video! I never knew this place existed! The Power of TH-cam and the Amazing Creator's of these video's, bring to us, fabulous phenomenal places around our 🌎 Superb...💖
Oh what a wonderful buffet! I think much better in quality than Vegas! Just the charcuterie portion is amazing! And the butter! I would have to hit up the bread or crackers! And the tomato butter on some pasta! With todays world and people's manners - I quite like the way it is behind glass and you are served! It's not like you can't have as much as you want, and the servers are asking if the serving suits when it makes a difference (ie prime rib) - and everything remains fresh and pristine. And I would imagine there is less far less waste - simply from what doesn't end up on the counter - among other reasons. Oh I think I need to watch this again in case I missed something! 😅 how was that pancake thing with the mussels? Don't leave out a bite Tim Lee - except maybe that egg thing! 😬😃❤🤤
I've been waiting for you to do a review on this. You didn't disappoint Tim 🤗 I mean this place has a butter section 🤦♂️ That is when you know it's truly high end.
Hi, Tim....Cheers buddy...seen this buffet before but the food selections was a lot different...glad you enjoy yourself as always...dood looked amazingly delicious...safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗💙
I just love how respectful Tim is to all employees by acknowledging them by name, regardless where he goes and is so kind and courteous. I wish all people were like him 👍
I love how you greet the service crew and waiters .
So polite and jolly ..
Because of status and appearance, if they see you look like rich person you can get that kind of service, but if you look like an ordinary people, you can't get that kind of services
Hi Tim, I enjoy watching your food trip, you speak so well and it is so courteous and polite of you to greet the chefs/waiters. It speaks well of you.
Thank you for being respectful to the employees, you greet them n saying thank you and all your kind words.
I love how you call everyone by their names, so cordial. I am a fan of your videos.
Spiral will always be on my top buffets in the Philippines. Wonderful selection of a wide variety of cuisines, but I especially appreciate their cold cuts and cheeses.
I love that they sat you right next to the fountain ... adds a touch of serenity to the evening 😊
The water is probably polluted
when you went for the head of the giant shrimp, i confirmed to myself that you really appreciate the intricacies of detailed flavoring. the taste of that part of the shrimp is so subtle yet so complex.
Tim you spoke my favorite sentence at the dessert bar : May I have one of everything? Wow!! What a divine meal!
You are so polite, such a delight to watch! Thanks for visiting our country!
timmmmmmmm i just found you and i am so happy. ive done all the huge food bloggers but they become so produced and its so nice to hang out with you so normal and relaxed . THANK Y OU

The spiral Buffet is definitely something very special... It's like a cast of thousands behind the stations 🙂
Omg.. look at all the food makes me hungry. I can’t wait to travel there just to try out the food.
Hi Tim ! I like the way you describe the food. Of all the vloggers i have watched who ate in Spiral , you are my favorite ! Not in a hurry to eat, and to explain whats on your plate .

I normally don't go for the bread... But after seeing that assortment of butters, I just couldn't resist. The breads were actually lovely
@@TimLeeLetsGo I could tell ! 😍
I could feel my cholesterol levels going up watching you eat the butter and cheese dishes. You make the best buffet and dinning videos on YT. Keep eating well and stay healthy for the holidays and the coming New Year.
Fat doesnt cause cholesterol
@@janvdb9258 Yes genius, so explain to all us what actually causes and raises one's cholesterol?
Thank you very much, Tim, for patronizing the Philippines! Enjoy! 👍
I almost lost it when I saw the cheese room! I have seen other You Tubers do this restaurant, but for some reason you always make me want evrything you eat!
The Cheese room was quite fun.. they really know how to put on a spread
Well it looks like a visit to Manila is now on the bucket list !!! Fabulous buffet, nicely done Mr. Lee 👌 you are a an excellent host.
Wonderful video Tim I don't know where you put all that food and drink oh my goodness I think Manila is the place for buffets thank you
I always thought Las Vegas was the capital of buffets, but I think the Philippines is the new king.
Asia far surpasses Vegas...doesnt matter Singapore, India, Philippines, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam...all better
Asian buffets are soooo much better. One thing you'll notice is that they almost always have hot food being prepared in small batches so usually way fresher. American buffets are more about herding in and the dessert stations are such a sugar bomb.
I think Vegas has declined in quality over the years and has become way more overpriced unfortunately
They just copied Vegas that's all.
@@janvdb9258 your absolutely right, Vegas is a joke
Hard to watch this while hungry and in cold Canada. More awesome food and a nice warm climate. I hope you have a Merry Christmas. Cheers Tim and God Bless! ✌️🇨🇦
Thanks Tim for another Delicious Video. That Buffett was the Disneyland of Buffetts. Everything looked Amazing, from the food to the decor. Take Care and Stay Safe. 🦞
Tim, Tim, Tim....by way of your butter appreciation, you are my soulmate! Great video again and love your respect for local food and people.
The butters is what turned me on
Thank you Tim.i am your subscriber a Filipino but working herebin Rome. And my son is leaving in BGC .SO,VISIT THAT BEAUTIFUL place in Makati..Thank you for visiting Philippines. I will go home and visit Philippines this January.enjoy your stay in Philippines and Fiilipino are friendly.
I think a perfect foodie trip would be to go to this buffet everyday and just do one to two stations a day. What a foodie experience.😊
Agreed 👍😋😋😋😋💯💯💯
I think it would be far too difficult to resist all the other stations lol
Yes you're right but paying $90 for 1 meal I think I'll gonna pause for awhile 😂 😂 😂
I love your facial expressions, on how you really enjoy the food. Thanks for your great and wonderful vlogs!
Some TH-camrs will eat anything! I’m glad you have limitations and standards. Makes you human. Great video Tim😊 Fantastic buffet 😊

The noodle station was my favorite. Especially the laksa. I still think about the Sofitel buffet.
It's good you're calling them by their first names. Notice how happy they were when you called their names.

I'm just here to say... "Pata boom boom". Thank you!

Gracious and appreciative as always. Cheers to you.

The bread is to fill you up so you won't demolish their essential station LOL!
That looks delicious! I have never been in Sofitel. I will try that buffet next time I visit back home.
It's quite an experience... Almost like dinner and a show combined
