Nobu Restaurant City of Dreams


Last June, I had the chance of staying with visiting relatives at the Nobu hotel of the newly launched City of Dreams casino complex.  The P8,888 promo rate for the room included breakfast for two at the famed Nobu restaurant.


Since it was during breakfast hours, the restaurant was virtually empty so I got the chance to take a few photos of the restaurant's interior.


So after we were seated, we immediately proceeded to the buffet table. And as you can see in the photos below, the presentation was top notch.



I skipped most of the usual breakfast buffet fare, so I could try the unique offerings of Nobu.  Also, I wanted to gorge on something healthy so I had mostly vegetables.


The waitress informed us that aside from the buffet items, we are allowed to select 3 items from this menu list.  They serve it one at a item, so if you liked what you ordered, you can use up your remaining 2 orders for that same item.


Nobu style tapsilog with Wagyu beef
Note that the servings here are quite small so the tapsilog pictured above is actually smaller than the usual value meal serving size of even fastfood establishments in the Philippines.  A few bites, and the tapsilog is done.

Silken Tofu Hotpot
Shioyaki (fish dish common in Japanese cuisine)
I may have eaten healthy during that breakfast, but I am still a fan of dessert (yes even for breakfast!) so here are a few more items I had.



If you are looking for the usual buffet wherein you are expecting generous servings of the usual meat items this may not be the buffet for you. Nobu restaurant is more of a dining experience,

 I also did not include the price of the items as this was a breakfast buffet bundled with the hotel   room.  Do note also, that even in California, Nobu restaurants are known for premium prices.
