right Eric ready what do I need to know well first you need to know definition of Atelier okay so artery is basically a French word it basically is a workshop so we are showcasing here the chef working in front of the guests of preparing fresh food so basically you try to get the food out as fresh as possible all right that's good please this is what we call the Asian section we start from Filipino cuisine on the other side of the corner okay also have Thai Korean and the one of the major part of these Chinese the Asian area is actually Chinese food mm-hmm okay this is the Asian corner so so we're in Asia right now so this is just be the corner yes more on the healthy corners I will get skipped a healthy corner okay actually those herbs we have a garden in Sofitel so we grow them on the other side we transfer to a seafood area but the beauty of this is if you don't want to have it cold you can actually have it reheated and serve with your host a garlic butter where what are my options any just us we do I can cook it any way I want yes you can also request for your whatever peers are you up you guys I don't have to be limited to that pizza hot Japanese Atelier so teppanyaki

Tom Yum Goong 100% a little scallion little chili cilantro all right see what else I don't want oh look at that fresh salmon belly chicken adobo floor I'm in the Philippines a little starch seafood I think got enough around one here we go a meal four years in the making and it all starts with a bite of salad Tom Yum Goong oh I did not need to put that extra chili in there this thing is super everything super vendor great super spicy super lemongrass it's so much flavor in this soup was my kind of soup I've been eyeing dish this is the salmon belly and look this I'm just gonna say that it bruises easily that Chi like nothing oh my god I cannot believe this is a buffet item I feel like I got this fish at some fancy steakhouse it's that good I love fish belly because there's a lot of fat here in this thing look at it you guys see the juice boozing out of this salmon no wonder they put out the vinegar sauce for this well you know what this on his own that's perfect the way it is I hope you heard that you don't need to change your just delicious the way you are oh that's fatty though that's why I got the vegetables most people need vegetables because they're trying to be healthier I eat vegetables because it's gonna help me eat more meat oh this porkbelly's ridiculous there's a little sweet I think some of that vinegar sauce touched it and it just really highlighted a fatty smoky flavor of the belly pretty good first plate test salmon belly definitely the start let's go for the main event gotta get some locks up hey how are ya could I please have some locks up with some fish balls and tofu and I think that's good what is that spinach noodle you know take some spinach you know gotta be healthy you know thank you so much let's get some extra chili in there what is that soup

most flavorful piece of our rolls chicken this rules board looks amazing look at all that fat can't get a Peking duck please whoa the action is an crates usually when buffets say peeking dogs usually made with some bun thank you yeah can't wait to eat the heck out of that talk I love paratus this looks like some gold curry all right please have a little bit of lamb thank you and the final thing

melting already beautifully creamy let's chocalate take that has a super smooth chocolate cake I love anything with mousse inside it's got a little bit of bread pudding eating it with the gelato I got this rice cake then give me this they said to eat it with the rice cake by the way every single staff member at this place is just beyond the nicest person ever oh you're right little crunchy here I'm not sure the brown stuff is mmm hey whoa brown sugar oh yeah it definitely adds a lot to the rice cake on his arm the texture is good but it's not sweet enough because the only sweetness is coming from the coconut shavings on top and that's now that's sweet but with this this thing is elevated by a lot lava cake oh geez look at this oh man look at that choco lava flow oh my goodness Wow I just took a spoonful like pure melted chocolate feel like I need to use some of those halo-halo I'm just gonna give it a nice mix with the ice cream with the ice oh yes refresher you know what the porn

you've been wanting to go to a place like for for a long time for years you kind of play it up in your head you're also kind of asking yourself like how good could it possibly be it's much better than you expected and that's this place for me it's funny like when I filmed my first buffet in Vegas I thought that's where the best buffet in the world is but after having to buy faces Singapore Vietnam Hong Kong and now here guys anything even close this buffet in particular is unlike any I've ever been to before it's like you're given a box of random Legos and in this case food Legos and you can make them into anything you want also every ingredient in its quality date they make all their stuff in-house that all you close to one of the best buffet experiences I've ever had so far I think this buffet in the buffet I had in Vietnam of all the buffets I've ever eaten at these two no question the best now there's 60 dollars tax included and plus like I mentioned every single person here from the managers to the servers to the chef's some of the most courteous people I've ever met in this industry so guys do yourselves a favor if you're ever in the Philippines anywhere around this area come here try this place out and find out for yourself why I think this is one of the best buffets in the world and make sure you customize your own pizza and guys as always the information for this place is listed for you in my description box below give it a try let me know how you like it thank you all so much for watching and until we get again see you later

How much do they cost these days?

New life goal.

The video is tempting me to treat my parents out to this place (may occasion naman), even if I know I'll regret it later.

He didn't even touch/find the foie gras!

Oh, this one! Tried Spiral out some years ago (around 2011 or 2012) thanks to a college blockmate - and loved the cheese section!
