Remarkable Birthday ExperienceCelebrated my birthday last November 22 here. Booked a reservation in less than 10 mins through their online chat support. Their customer service is one of a kind. I had to reschedule 30 mins prior my booking reservation and surprisingly received confirmation within 5 mins (yes, it was that quick and it's very seldom to get a quick response on such short notice). In terms of the dining experience, this place is really commendable considering the pandemic risk. The tables were socially distanced and we even saw how the place were diligently disinfected before we left. It isn't your usual buffet experience because the food will be served to you as you request it. Moreover, the variety of foods from the menu almost complements each other - from steamed to deep fried, savory to sweet. The taste is so unique! I would even remember the first bite of how shrimp and mango complements each other for a savory taste. My favorites go with the dishes mixed with szechuan sauce. And don't forget to try all the desserts!! Do experiment mixing a bit of the dishes, and you'll definitely get a new taste! We were even shocked with the complimentary birthday cake served, I really liked dark chocolate and the flavor of the cake was also unique for a dark chocolate lover like me, esp when combined with their tea (you can order them for an additional fee!). Lastly, I would say that the experience won't be remarkable without the friendly ates and kuyas serving the dishes to us. I would often laugh at my repetitive orders and they'll laugh with us as if we made new friends (it's good that we can know their first names). Thank you Kuya Rogelio, Ate Justine and Ate Rose for making my birthday experience here memorable! Certainly coming back!

Hello everyone! It has been a long time since the last time we shared an EATSperience in Quezon City. We have been guilty of just going around areas near our place like Makati and Bonifacio Global City. But since our baby’s pediatrician is based in Quezon City and we have to visit her for the monthly checkup, it gives us time to EATSperience restaurants that we rarely go to, and just simply appreciate what that side of Metro Manila has to offer. In this edition of EATSplorations, we will share with you about our latest Quezon City food find, Bao On The Block. It is located in Sgt. Esguerra just across ABS-CBN. This place serves up baos and rice bowls perfect for lunch and after work chow downs. We decided to visit Bao On The Block on a weekday lunch (during our school break) and it was pretty easy to go to. The place is small but it was decorated nicely, for diners who are simply looking for a place to dine at after a long day’s work.
