Delicious Snack Buffet at Golden Brown Restaurant

It was a Saturday afternoon, we have just visited the hospital for my daughter's immunization. We are starving already. We spent almost 3 hours waiting at the hospital on our daughter's doctor, there were only 15 patients on the list, we were number 13. I guess the good doctor really spent an ample amount of time to patients.

Our usual destination for a snack would be a fast-food chain, there was plenty of that on the area nearby. But my wife just remembered that Golden Brown Restaurant was offering a snack buffet, although it was a couple of years ago, we were hoping they would still be offering it. As it turns out, they still have their usual snack buffet in the afternoon. We checked what's being served and we decided to go for it. During that day, they were serving pancit bihon, lomi, lumpia shanghai, dinuguan and puto, cassava cake, brownies and more. Of course I love the dinuguan and photo combo, I also ate plenty of that lumpia shanghia.  I guess for a price of Php95  it was a money saver. Oh and there was a free glass of iced tea to go with it. We saved a lot eating there, compared to a fast-food chain. And as usual, the place is still as nice as it was the last time we were there.

Golden Brown Restaurant only offers their snack buffet in the afternoon on Monday to Saturday. You can visit them at Gov. Duterte Street, Davao City. Their phone number is 227-6464.

Here are some photos during our visit.

Eat All You Can at Probinsya Buffet Restaurant - Home of Lutong Pinoy

When it comes to eat all you can or buffet, I all game. When my brother came home from Singapore, he treated all of us at Probinsya Buffet Restaurant- Home of Lutong Pinoy. Probinsya is located at Victoria Plaza Compound, Bajada Davao City (to be precised, its located at the back of Victoria Plaza). This is the first time I had heard of this place, since its been ages since I visited Victoria Plaza. 

The place opens at 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. (breakfast), 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M.(lunch) and 6:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. (dinner). Breakfast fee differs that of from lunch and dinner. Breakfast will cost you Php168.00 while lunch and dinner is at Php 298.00. Probinsya offers a good selection of Filipino delicacies to choose from, one such is Kinilaw (my favorite) adobo and the usual buttered chicken, grilled barbeque. And a very tasty selection of desserts (you can mix your own Halo-halo)

The place is nice, it has a nice native design to it, which is true to its name Probinsya. The employees are kind and attentive. Its a great place to held special occasions such as meetings, baptismal's, debut, seminars. birthdays, reunions and more. For more inquiries you can call them at 255-1455 to 56.

The first on my list - KINILAW

Buttered Chicken are always present in most Buffet

Golden Brown Restaurant

Me and my hubby celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary with a lunch date at Golden Brown Restaurant at Ilustre Street, Davao City last December 28, 2010. I would have wanted us to have our date at a restaurant somewhere in Ecoland but it's just too far away. So when we decided that we have to eat just near the downtown area, Golden Brown right away comes to my mind.

We used to frequently eat at Golden Brown when me and hubby were still dating since it is just very accessible to where we usually shop or stroll. I also love their foods and the ambiance is very cozy. The very efficient and approachable waiters is also a big plus when dining at this restaurant.

As usual, hubby ordered his favorite kinilaw while I ordered lechon kawali (deep fried pork belly). We arrived there at around 11:00 o'clock in the morning and we are the first customer. I asked the waiter if I can take photos and he flashed his big smile nodding, saying yes.

Here are some photos I took:

They also have a merienda (snack) buffet available from 2:00 - 6:00 o'clock in the afternoon. The cost is only 85 pesos but look at the buffet table and some few foods already served. It's a heavy snack! Yes, we have tried it before and it's really worth the 85 pesos you'll spend, given the plenty choices of foods they serve.

this is the merienda buffet table and a few foods already served. Only few yet because that was only 11:00 o'clock in the morning and their snack buffet starts at 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon.
