Tramway Buffet Plaza | Affordable Eat-all-you-can Resto

Nowadays, buffet restaurants have been a go to by families and friends who wants to eat out and celebrate or just to gather. There are many eat-all-you-can restaurants in the Metro, all serving good food of different varieties. You can choose from cuisines like Chinese, Japanese, Thai, American style, Filipino or those with the combination of all commonly known as International Cuisine. Of course the price is also observed, if you search for the famous buffet restaurants around, you will notice the price is usually starting from P500 up to P2,000 ranging from the nicest to the most reputable restos. For some it might be a bit pricey for just lunch or dinner. So I was quite surprised with this Buffet Restaurant that only costs P205 to P248 per person. It's called the Tramway Buffet Plaza, offering three Asian cuisines namely Chinese, Japanese and Filipino. 

According to their web site's about page, "Little do people know that Tramway started in 2001 as an ala carte restaurant serving authentic Cantonese cuisine. Tramway was derived from the Hong Kong Tramway which signifies a classic and authentic Hong Kong brand." 

They have four branches, the Tramway Teahouse Banawe, Tramway Garden Buffet Timog, Tramway Buffet Plaza Shaw and Tramway Bayview Buffet Roxas all having different price range. You can visit their website for more information: http://www.tramwaybuffet.com/index.html

So my friends and I decided to try their restaurant. We went to Tramway Buffet Plaza Shaw branch at UGF Worldwide Corporate Center, Shaw Boulevard cor Edsa, Mandaluyong City. It is across the Starmall. When we got there, it's not crowded so we did not wait too long. We were there for dinner, we approached the reception area and then we were directed to come inside and was seated. A girl was then roaming around listing down the guests who comes and gives them spoon and fork. The spoon and fork only comes from her so we assume that the utensils are indicating the number of person to avail the buffet. I asked if the payment is to be made after we eat she said yes. The buffet here costs P248 per person. It is by batch, guests have two hours to eat and enjoy. We were there 8pm so we leave by 10pm.

Me with my boyfriend and friends.

The place is neat and nice looking. White tables with a good comfortable chair. Air conditioned and well-lit. The staff are nice. Extra plates and mini bowls are available as well as different kinds of condiments or sauce that you need. They also have cold service water, i drank it, its clean. We did not order soft drinks or any juice because it will make us feel full and we may not try all the food. They also charge for leftovers, i kind of forgot, but i believe its P10 per gram of leftover food.

.........and the food tasting begun!

SOUP, MAIN DISHES & SIDE DISHES

Soup of the day: Egg soup

Fried wanton, tofu, california maki, fried chicken and century egg. Its my first time to try the century egg, it tastes funny it really is an exotic food.

Another plate of fried wanton, fried chicken, tofu, dumplings and fried pao. We had sweet&sour pork too.(not seen in the photo)

Carbonara pasta.

Red sauce pasta. And a piece of kikiam.

Lumpiang Sariwa in Filipino or fresh Lumpia, lumpia wrapper with diff. kinds of veggies and sauce.

Spring rolls and Yang Chow fried rice.

DESSERTS

Fresh fruits: Watermelon and Pineapple.

Coffee Jelly.

Buko Pandan.

Plate of Buchi(the best), Maja Blanca, Bilo-Bilo with peanut toppings(the round white and violet), Gelatin(pink and blue) and the other two white and violet oval shaped dessert, i forgot what its called, its covered in coconut and sugar. 

All in all, the food tastes good. All the food i posted are only the ones i took from the buffet that i would eat. But i believe all i posted are pretty much it. Except maybe for some main dish that i did not try, fish for example, some vegetable, salad, and pancit. Because I'm not very fond of these foods. And all the dessert are everything i found at the dessert section. So for the price of P248, it is worth it. You get to taste the three cuisines and for all that you can eat. But not all the food tasted good, for me, one is the carbonara, as you can see from the picture itself, its so plain, its tasteless and it doesn't even have a bit of a ham/bacon or any meat or any herbs in it. And the gelatins tasted like plastic and its not that sweet. But the rest is really good, really tasty dishes, the fried chicken, fried wanton, dumplings, spring rolls, fried rice, all of 'em!

We took photos outside before we left.

The entrance and the reception area.

We are really going back here, maybe with more friends or with family. Very affordable and worth the money! :)
