My Birthday Celebration at NIU by Vikings, SM Aura

According to the Chinese calendar, 2017 is the year of the Rooster, the Fire Rooster, to be exact. And since I was born a Rooster, I think it is just but fitting for me to celebrate my special day above the ordinary ways that I used to spend my previous birthdays! And so I celebrated my birthday pigging out! hahaha

My birthday fell on a weekday. Thankfully, my employer allows us to make the most of our birthdays - I availed a birthday leave! Yay! It was my husband though, who absented himself just to celebrate my special day! Thankies baby! :)

Those who really know me and those who have been following my social media and blog posts know for a fact that I am very much of a foodie. I really love to eat and it has really been my goal to try, taste and experience every food that this world has to offer! :)

Another fact, I really love buffets because it enables me to try a very wide array of menus in just one occasion and/or venue. 

And so for my birthday celebration this year of the Rooster, I decided to treat myself and my hubby to NIU by Vikings located at 6th floor of SM Aura in BGC, Taguig City. 

I availed of their birthday promo, of course! I got to eat for FREE! Yay! :)

Upon entering the restaurant, you can immediately feel the elegance and the luxury that the venue exudes. I have already experienced dining at the other branches of Vikings, but NIU by Vikings is definitely a cut above the rest! 

Thankfully, we arrived there early, so we had the chance to enjoy the place all by ourselves even for a very short period of time.

Because after just a few more minutes, a great number of customers already started coming in! And before we knew it, the place is already full! Whew!

NIU by Vikings, just like the other Vikings branches, offers a very wide array of cuisines - only better. Way, way, way better, I must say. My hubby and I really had a great time tasting what each cuisines has to offer. Our eyes had a great time too because there were really much beauty and artistry in the preparation and presentation of all the dishes! 

To start of our foodventure, hubby headed to the shabu-shabu corner! Hubby really loves the variety that this corner has to offer! He cannot seem to decide on what ingredients to choose! hahaha

Shabu-Shabu Station

Come on, get your pick! There are really a lot of choices to choose from!

After the shabu-shabu station, we went to try each and every other stations!

There are really much to choose from! Unfortunately, we cannot fit them all in our tummies! hahahha

All Vikings branches offer unlimited drinks as well - fruit drinks, coffee, tea and beer. And although I have been seeing wines at the other branches, I am not really sure if those are also for free or if there's an extra charge if you are going to avail of it. But at NIU by Vikings, wines are also absolutely unlimited! Rejoice wine lovers out there as at NIU by Vikings, there is even an available wine dispenser! Unfortunately, I was not able to take a photo of it! But, next time, I will definitely not miss it! :)
