Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Four in Love BBQ and Hot Pot Buffet offers a top-notch bbq and hot put buffet experience. For the 20% off price, the Abundance Set is definitely worth a try! Because of the soup and mookata add-on price, its best to bring at least three companions. Overall, we Tsinoy Foodies enjoyed the grill, hotpot and sauce mixing experience. We also liked the three price point for the sets so you can choose depending on your appetite and budget. Perhaps, for simplicity though, the price could be more inclusive for the soup and drinks.

Templo: Unlimited Szechuan Experience for eat all you can crabs, shrimp, scallops and more (Dapitan 55 Quezon City)
Crabs for us represent something special. These premium and luxurious treasures of the sea are so expensive that they are only served during special occasions. But Templo changed my perspective!
Templo is offering an Unlimited Szechuan Experience which includes Shrimps and Crabs.
Before proceeding with the food experience, let me share with you where you can find Templo. Templo is located in a small complex near Banawe called Dapitan 55. It offers limited capacity for around 30 persons so I advise that you call for reservation.
Unlimited Szechuan Experience
 |
| Price as of Sept 2, 2019 |
Crab
 |
| Crabs |
It's been a very long time since we specifically aimed for unlimited crabs. After the Red Crab craze, there hasn't been any famed unlimited crabs place in awhile. Even the most luxurious hotel buffets cannot be expected to offer unlimited crabs or even just having some of it.
So when we heard about Templo's promo, we instantly came to check it out. To be honest, we were expecting to have small crab species like what we Filipinos refer to as "alimasag". But, instead we got huge well-cleaned mud crabs. To prove to you that they cook it fresh, Templo also sells live ones!
The menu offers two options: Soy Garlic Crab and ♥ Salted Egg Crab. But, there's also a third off-menu option which is plain Steamed Crab. You can't go wrong with any option. But based on experience, the Salted Egg Crab should be the pricier variant so those who are naturally calculative in nature should opt for it.
 |
| ♥ Soy Garlic Shrimp |
For Shrimp, you should try all three options: Soy Garlic Shrimp, Sweet Chili Shrimp and Salted Egg Tempura. The Soy Garlic Shrimp offers the lightest flavor that complements the natural shrimp taste.
 |
| Sweet Chili Shrimp |
The Sweet Chili Shrimp was not as spicy as we thought. The mild spiciness gave a slight spike to the taste buds after being aroused by the delicious sweetness.
 |
| ♥ Salted Egg Tempura |
The Salted Egg Tempura was different from the Japanese-style tempura. The batter is close to our Filipino dish Camaron Rebosado. But, we loved this not for the batter but for the really soft and juicy shrimp under the delicious salted egg coating. Mind you, this is quite addictive!
Meat
 |
| Szechuan Sliced Pork |
Though the Crabs and Shrimps on their own could be the main reason for availing of the Unlimited Szechuan Experience, the Meats are also not to be missed! You can really savor the authentic spiciness of Szechuan as the dishes have a hint of chili oil.
 |
| ♥ Szechuan Pork Intestine |
 |
| Szechuan Duck Breast |
 |
| Crab Rice |
Ala Carte
 |
| Seafood Combo Platter |
Drinks
 |
| Templo Signature Milk Tea (115 php) |
 |
| Lick Iced Tea (138 php) and ♥ Lick Mango Juice (138 php) |
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Templo's Unlimited Szechuan Experience may not be as expansive in terms of other buffets within the same price range but you get really quality seafood! Templo does not even restrict you with any time limit so you can stay as much as you can and fill buckets full of seafood. So, yes! Give Templo a try and we encourage you do so with a prior reservation.
