As we all know, Filipinos are known to the world as a group of people who loves eating. Whether it’s a celebration for a birthday, promotions at work, marriage, or just a plain night out, eating is never a thing to miss. We love the inexpensive delicious Filipinos delicacies we can find in the streets but wouldn’t it be better if you dine in a place where you can grab all-that-you-can-eat? Yeah, I know what went in you mind – EXPENSIVE but we’re here and we’ll provide you a list of buffet date spots in and around the Metro – good thing about that is it’s only under P500.00!
