Actual, honest, unpaid REVIEW!
Merienda Buffet (Unlimited)
Bloomdish
Sitio Ma-e, Lower Tomay, Brgy. Bahong, La Trinidad
348 pesos per head / 2-5pm / Sat. - Sun.
Food
1) Meat
Fried Chicken
- not normal seasoning! Flavorful!
- 1st serving is the best.. 2nd serving became chicken SKIN only!
Tofu with pork (cube size)
- normal taste, not crispy, it was like a side dish.
Kini-ing Lumpia
- taste good but not crunchy anymore.
- cannot determine if there was meat or vegan/veggies.
- nope, not kini-ing. Did not taste any kini-ing.
Siomai
- same with the ones sold by everyone.
Beef mami
- did not try. It is not a good combination with all the dishes provided.
2) Pancit and Pasta (1 dish each)
- Pancit was a bit salty. Eat a little only.
- Pasta was normal, like a family made dish.
3) Pastry
PIZZA
- the best one! toasted bottom, soft and superb sauces!
Brownies
- Eat as many as you like! not too sweet, just perfect.
Drip sized pancake
- what? small thin circle pancakes with choco syrup.
- Not to waste the leftover ingredients, maybe.
Chocolate Cupcakes
- "bitter from too much baking soda" napait.
Maja Blanca
- same with home cooked maja.
Palitaw
- Okay.
4) Drinks
- 1 Powdered flavor drink (sakto naman, hindi matamlay)
- cold water
- Brewed Coffee (creamer and sugar provided)
5) Sushi (1 type only)
Kimbap?
- rice was a failure. It was like eating a "diket".
- the nori was too hard (Too many rolls?).
6) Others
- Vegetable salads
- Sliced fruits (watermelon and honey dew only)
- Soups
Venue
- Definitely for business meetings. Elegant, not too noisy and smelly.
- Good service by the staffs.
- Spacious and clean.
Cons/Suggestions
1) What happened to COLD merienda?
- no halo halo, ice cream, buko pandan, etc.
2) Filipino merienda?
- Even with all the choices, there was the feeling of something was "missing".
3) Serving
- First serving the best! then the refill, the standard went down.
Note: No rice. Ada inmuneg nga lalakay ket dyay rice bir2uken da. Rinumwar da ta awan ti rice.
