The Kitchen by Chef Chris



The rise of buffet restaurants here in Baguio is continuous and all I want to do is try them all! 

The Kitchen has an all day buffet: 

Breakfast 6:30 am - 10:30 am (Php199)
Lunch 11:00 am to 2:00 pm (Php 229)
Dinner 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm (Php 249).

I came here for breakfast three times within a 2-month period because of the tub of taho that always makes me crave for it! I went on different days to check if the food changes and it does. Main stay are their garlic longganisa, omelet, vegetable salad, bread and jellies, cereals, and the hearty taho (which is a unique touch on their buffet). 

I find the food quality average but so far this is the best affordable (Php 199) breakfast buffet I'v been to. The food is not oily and though the selection's limited, the comfort and homely feeling of the place compensates my expectations. Plus, waiters and waitresses are friendly. 

Here's some snaps of my second breakfast buffet visit and a dinner that was ordered from the menu. 


The Food


taho all you can!!! ^_^
ham; garlic longganisa
carbonara; ground meat (comes with nacho sauce I think)
fish fillet with fried noodles; hotdogs
vegetable salad
bread and jellies; cereals
champorado; coffee

And here's for dinner:

Egg Drop Soup (Php 98)


It has that instant soup kind of taste, single order is served in two bowls.



Roasted Pumpkin Soup (Php 98)


Creamy and tasty, single order served in two bowls.



Krispy Kilawing Kambing (Php 268) 


Doesn't have the goat smell and literally tastes like chicken. I like the crispy twist they infused with the good old kilawin.  



Ox Tail Kare-Kare (Php 288)


Vegetables are crispy and sweet, good thing the peanut sauce is neutral. 



Roasted Pork Ribs with Homemade Barbecue Sauce (Php278) 


Not a fan of sweet viands and I find nothing special about it. .



Chicken Tenders (Php 228)


Sorry to say but it's dry and bland. I asked for the sauce, they gave soy and calamansi. Asked for ranch dressing, it was again too sweet. Chewing on the fried noodles made it all better ;)



Vietnamese Salad Rolls (Php 138)


Could have been better, still an average score for this.



The Kitchen's Burger (Php 168)


I didn't taste this so can't write something here :)



The Kitchen Iced Tea (Php 48/glass)


It's more of the brewed tea taste, yummy!
