Hosting balikbayan friends next week? Looking for a place to hold your get-togethers? Book a table at Tong Yang Plus, the newest buffet restaurant that recently opened at SM Davao and on Level 1, North Wing, Entertainment Mall, SM Mall of Asia.
Run by Pacific Apex, Inc., the same group that owns and manages Vikings Luxury Buffet, Four Seasons Buffet and Tong Yang Hot Pot and Shabu-Shabu and Marina Bay Spa and Lifestyle Club, it is touted as the ultimate hotpot and grill experience in terms of selection and variety.
Similar to the concept of the original Tong Yang, Tong Yang Plus offers so much more. It lets diners select from a wider buffet spread and bring these to their table where they can have them either grilled or cooked hotpot style. The selection is definitely more lavish, presented market-style. You choose what you want to and cook it the way you prefer. The choice is yours.
Put off your diet plans for the meantime because there are so many things to fill your plate with – from juicy selections of pork, beef and chicken including imported U.S. beef, pork neck and belly to a fresh smorgasbord of gindara, blue marlin, salmon belly, shrimps, crabs, clams, lapu-lapu fillet, tuna belly, spicy squid and a whole lot more.
You, your family, and friends can experiment with different sauces on a variety of meats and make your own hotpot concoction starting with a soup base available in chicken, sinigang, spicy sate, vegetarian, kimchi and Taiwan Mala.
While waiting for the soup to boil, you can already start grilling meats (and planning your next get-together). Grill it the way you and your companions like it with the Korean Barbecue Grill, the Tong Yang Hot Plate (perfect for cooking with butter, garlic and chili) and Charcoal Grill. You can also create your own flavor with Tong Yang Plus’ assorted condiments ranging from the sweet, savory, salty, and spicy.
If you’d rather spend the day catching up with the group instead of cooking your food, just ask Tong Yang Plus’ cheerful waiters and they will be more than happy to do it for you.
Aside from its extensive selection of fresh ingredients, the buffet tables are teeming with appetizers including sushi, sashimi and maki as well as dimsum and dumplings. Leave some room for fresh fruits, cakes, pastries and other sweet treats. There’s also an ice cream and halo-halo station for those who want something cool after a spicy meal. And there is, of course, the unlimited drinks station.
