A Feast for Family and Friends
Eating is best when surrounded with family and friends. I brought the family on a Friday night and we thoroughly enjoyed the fare. I could not help but linger at the dessert station since it was the first station one can see upon entering the establishment. From local favorites such as small glass servings of hal0-halo, leche flan to sticky rice to a madeline tower, chocolate krispies and tarts — the pastry corner is a sweet tooth’s delight.
The kids made a beeline for carving station where they had platefuls of succulent roasted ribeye steak and mashed potatoes. Saw them pairing it with warm bread and salted butter. Delicious!
The Japanese station was my first stop. Saw the chefs rolling different kinds of sushi and just had to try each. Since I’m an ebi tempura monster, I got several pieces of those as well.
There’s also a section where fresh seafood is cooked ala minute. You can tell the chef what way you’d like your fish, shrimps and mussels to be cooked.
We also made our way to the salad station, handtossed pizza station (next to to different pasta dishes, and the crepe station. Our server was very attentive and recommended different dishes for us to try. I’m told that the bestselling options are always on rotation so I’m just so glad all our favorites were being served during our visit. Oh the Asian station is not to be missed! We had xiao mai, spareribs and other dimsum there.
All in all it was a very satisfying visit for the family. New World Makati Hotel is a constant choice for us and it looks lie we’ll be going back for more at Cafe 1228!
With a pocketful of glitter,
