And yes, the same day of my cheat day at Magnum Cafe it continued until Niu by Vikings! I promise I will burn these excess calories! I actually saw Niu by Vikings last time I went at SM Aura (I think early October) but I was in a hurry so no time to try it yet. So on my next visit it was a good thing I was already able to try it. I asked the receptionist if what's the difference of Niu from the regular Vikings.... She told me that they offer US Prime Beef, Lobster Miso Soup and Foie Grass. It also includes unlimited wine and cocktails upon hearing it I got even more excited. haha
Here's the rate and yes it's a more expensive than the regular Vikings. Let's see if it's worth it or it should be priced the same. Sorry this post will be heavy on photos.
Upon entering Niu, it feels very classy, high end, hotel feel, premium the the regular vikings. The interiors were very nice. Very classy, cozzy and very clean. The lights were very bright, the temperature was just right. The sound was just right, they have a pianist for the music.
Even the utensils were very posh!
I think they actually have the same stations as the normal Vikings but of course with better food offerings.
P.S. It was very hard to take photos since I didn't want to interrupt the people while taking their food.
Here's the Wine and Cocktails station.
At that time, they are offering 3 cocktails, very cold beer, smb, and several white and red wines. I appreciate that they have someone roaming around offering wines (in a very presentable trolley). That person is knowledgeable of the wines. They also have baristas too! I love it!
What I first got for the night. :)
More beverages:
They also have tea (you can have it in tea cups). Can you see the ref, it's actually full of very cold beer.
Here's the Lobster Miso Soup. Sorry for the blurry photo.
Chinese Station:
Their hakaw is great! I love the fish balls with surprises inside!
Japanese Station:
They actually have more, they have yakitori and I forgot what it's called but like misono type of food. There's actually more.
Grill Station:
They also have Middle East selections too.
The best part! Beef Station!
Their beef is superb! It's very tasty, juicy and best of all soft. Partnered with Truffle gravy! Great great!
I wasn't able to take photos of the Lamb! Their lamb was also very good! Not that malansa but very tasty and soft. Best with Mint Mojito sauce.
Their Foie Grass is also great! I find that it's also not that malansa and not that fat. They fried it so it tastes so good! Sorry no photos of the actual Foie Grass. :(
Pizza Station:
Pasta Station:
They also have green salads too.
And of course! Dessert Station!
Food selections were actually great!
They have rooms too for private celebrations.
I think that Niu really sets apart from the regular Vikings because of its interiors and the actual food selection. The staff were very accommodating and they always offer that they can serve the food and beverages to us. The chairs were comfortable too. Their wash room looks very nice too.
I think they were able to pull off the premium feel and taste.
P.S. This is not a paid post.
How did you like Niu by Vikings?
I will be on a diet again. :)
