Last night was one of those moments that I’ll always remember. It wasn’t just about the food, but the feeling of being with someone special and sharing a simple but meaningful time together. We decided to have dinner at Vikings Luxury Buffet in SM, a place I’ve always wanted to try. I had seen so many photos and heard stories about how amazing the food was, and finally, I got to experience it myself.
As soon as we arrived, I already felt excited. The restaurant looked so elegant from the outside warm lights, cozy ambiance, and people smiling as they enjoyed their food. When we entered, the staff greeted us politely and led us to our table.
I couldn’t stop looking around. The buffet tables were filled with all kinds of dishes from Filipino favorites to Japanese sushi, Korean barbeque, and even Western pasta and steak. Everything looked delicious!
Before I could even sit properly, the person I was with handed me a bouquet of flowers. I was surprised and touched. The flowers were beautiful, fresh, and smelled so nice. It made the moment even more special. I smiled so wide that I couldn’t hide how happy I was. Simple gestures like that really make you feel appreciated and loved.
We started walking around to see what food we wanted to try first. I felt like a child in a candy store because there were so many choices! I decided to begin with sushi and seafood. The shrimp and oysters looked so fresh, and the sushi rolls were neatly arranged in colorful rows. The taste was perfect soft, flavorful, and satisfying.
Next, I went for the main dishes. There was crispy lechon, grilled meat, tempura, roasted beef, and so many more that I didn’t even know where to start. I filled my plate with a little bit of everything. Each bite was full of flavor, and I kept saying, “This is so good!” every few minutes. My favorite part was the roasted beef soft, juicy, and perfectly cooked. I also tried some pasta, and it was creamy and delicious.
We laughed and talked as we ate. The atmosphere was nice not too loud, just the sound of people chatting and enjoying their food. It felt cozy and romantic at the same time. Between bites, we took pictures of our plates and of each other, trying to capture the fun of the night.
After the main meal, it was time for dessert. I couldn’t skip that part! There was a whole section filled with cakes, ice cream, fruits, and even chocolate fondue. I picked a slice of chocolate cake and a few scoops of ice cream. The sweetness was the perfect ending to a wonderful dinner.
What made the night even better was how relaxed and happy we both felt. Sometimes, it’s not about how fancy the place is or how expensive the food is it’s about the company. Sitting there, eating and laughing together, made me realize how nice it feels to slow down and just enjoy the moment.
Before we left, I looked at the flowers again. They were still sitting beside my plate, looking lovely under the restaurant lights. I held them close and smiled. It wasn’t just about receiving flowers, but about the thought behind them the care, the effort, and the simple act of making someone feel special.
When we finally stepped outside the restaurant, I felt full not just from the food, but from happiness. The night air felt cool, and I could still taste the sweetness of the dessert on my lips. We walked around SM for a bit, just chatting and enjoying the evening before heading home.
As I looked back on that dinner, I realized that it’s moments like these that really stay in your heart. You might forget what exact dishes you ate or what clothes you wore, but you’ll always remember how someone made you feel. That dinner at Vikings wasn’t just about luxury or food it was about connection, care, and joy.
Now, every time I see those flowers at home, I’m reminded of that night the laughter, the delicious food, and the warm feeling of being with someone who truly made it special. It was one of those simple but unforgettable experiences that I’ll always treasure.
