The Seafood Station offers Butter Garlic Prawn, Butter Garlic Crab and ♥ Cheese Baked Mussels.

Café Ilang-Ilang has a different dinner theme per night.  Since it was Surf and Turf Night, we were fortunate to have the ♥Blue Marlin available at the Churrasco Station.   There's also heavy meats like Smoked Pork Loin, Churrasco Beef and Sausages.

The Chinese Station highlights Chinese Dimsum of Pork and Shrimp Siomai, Choco Bun, Chicken Feet, and my favorite — ♥ Century Egg.  There's also Chinese Corn Soup.

With the longest line, the US Angus Beef with your choice of sauce mustard, horse radish or mint is what you can't miss!

Blinis Caviar, Shrimp Cocktail, Bacon Leeks with Gorgonzola Tartlets, Parma Ham, Chorizo, Mushroom Lyoner, Pepperoni and Peppered Lyoner

The sample size portions is a good enough reason for a taste test.

♥ Baked Oysters with Cheese

But, we Tsinoys always have our eyes on the "price" wanting to get our moneys worth.  And, we try to make our visit sulit with seafood selections!  So, its more Baked Oysters with Cheese please!

♥ Crayfish

Thus, we are guilty as charged for Crayfish hoarding!  We locally refer to these as ulang.

♥ Steamed Scallop (Upon Request)

Based on experience, whatever needs requesting is a rare find.  So we knew that the Steamed Scallop must be ordered before the signage disappears.  Indeed, this sea treasure was so soft and succulent.  




Tempura and Katsu Station
If there's a part of a buffet that needs no introduction, it would be this!  Niu serves them freshly fried as the fryer is on standby by the station. 
Carving Station

♥ Angus Beef Belly

No matter how big you belly at this point, be sure to save some space for the Angus Beef Belly.  I bet beef lovers will find this satisfying for their satiable beef-craving!

Angus Chuck Eye

Every steak lover knows that each part has its distinguished price.  Thus the Angus Chuck Eye is well-known to be a poor man's Rib Eye.  This part is near the rib eye so almost the same texture and taste but will offer a few peso savings.  

♥ Rib Eye

When you're over with beef, you also can have the Leg of Lamb next.  

Shawarma Station
It is also my first time to encounter a shawarma machine which was so cool!


Pasta Station

♥ Foie Gras

I missed out on the Foie Gras when I visited Niu for the first time.  I've since learned to have this specialty served as soon as I arrive as the sign stated that it is only until supplies last.

♥ Foie Gras

The Foie Gras is kind of shy but here it is.  This is so good!!!

Truffled Cacio E Pepe

There were six other pasta selection offers as a consolation.  At least, that's how I see it.  As I found the Truffled Cacio E Pepe to be the only disappointment among the dishes I ordered.

Shabu-Shabu Station
The hot pot or shabu-shabu is a concept shared between Niu and Vikings.  I think its probably because the Vikings group also owns Four Seasons Buffet & Hotpot.  So they ought to offer a bit of it with their other concepts.


Halo-Halo Station
To leave a lasting impression, Niu has a lot of decadent desserts to appease you sweet desires.



They also have fresh fruits if you prefer a healthy and holistic meal.  What gave our feast a fine finish though is the ♥ Matcha and Chocolate Cake.  

Drinks
Food is always paired with drinks.

And Niu has the widest range of drinks I have ever encountered.  They have beer, coffee, cocktails, juice, tea, sake, shakes, soft drinks and wine.  Do you agree that they didn't miss anything?

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Finally, my sister and I agreed on something.  We both agree that our dinner at Niu is one of the best meals we've ever had!  The service is good too!  Spend your birthday and see what awesome performance they have!
