The Filipino Almusal


I tried The Filipino Almusal during one of my stays in November 2020. I started my breakfast with a basket of pandesal, soft roll, and sweet ensaymada which I paired with cappuccino. Butter and jams were also provided.



Highlight of this breakfast set is the silóg which is a traditional Filipino breakfast consisting of garlic rice, fried eggs, and your choice of fried meat dish. I opted for fried boneless bangus (milkfish). The fish was perfectly seasoned, and it was fried until the crust was crispy. Other choices are beef tapa, pork longganisa, and pork tocino. I paired this dish with orange juice.




The American Breakfast Set


I tried The American Breakfast Set during one of my stays in December 2020. First to be served was the bakery basket consisting of plain croissant, Danish pastry, muffin, chocolate croissant. I paired the pastries with caffe latte.



I was also asked to choose between yogurt and breakfast cereals. I opted for Granola with full-cream milk. Other choices were bircher muesli and corn flakes.



Ordering buttermilk pancakes would mean carbs overload, and so I opted to have pork sausages instead. It was served with two eggs cooked to your liking, hash browns, and grilled tomato. Other protein options include chicken sausage, pork bacon, and breakfast ham.



I ended my breakfast with a platter of sliced fruits, including honeydew melon, orange, and pineapple. I had a glass of chilled orange juice to wash down all the savory flavors.




Breakfast Buffet


It was a long weekend during my most recent stay at Edsa Shangri-La Manila, and due to the high occupancy rate, guests were able to enjoy breakfast buffet at HEAT instead of the usual breakfast sets. Although not as extensive as pre-pandemic times, there are more than enough Western and Filipino breakfast options available.



To ensure food safety and sanitation, a managed buffet system is implemented at HEAT. The buffet is divided into three stations: Western Station, Filipino Station, Egg Station. Just like before, you can enjoy unlimited servings of your favorite dishes from the buffet. 



Here is my plate of English breakfast with items available from the Western Station. I had pork sausage, chicken sausage, hash browns, baked beans, grilled tomato, and buttered vegetables. Bacon, breakfast ham, and corned beef are also available.



From the Filipino Station, I got the beef tapa, pork longganisa, checken adobo, and garlic fried rice, and scrambled eggs. Other items available were boneless bangus, champorado, arroz caldo, and an assortment of kakanin (local rice cakes).



Served table-side are freshly baked bread and pastries, breakfast cereals, as well as sliced fresh fruits. Hot beverages and chilled juices are also included in the buffet.
