Mongolian Buffet at Sweet Inspirations

Shillette and Jog, our friends from the office introduced us to this quaint place along Katipunan, Sweet Inspirations. The glutton sleeping inside me always wakes up whenever we step into this restaurant. No, I don't have a super sweet tooth, what I always go back to is their Mongolian Buffet.

At one side of the restaurant is where the action begins, you take an orange bowl, and fill it up with your own mix of rice, noodles, vegetables, seafood and meat. The fun doesn't end there, you can have at least four different flavors with every trip back to the buffet. Maybe the thought of coming up with your own sauce scares you and think that this is just for people who cook. Fear not, they have a cheat sheet of what you need, to make a hot and spicy, sweet and sour, sweet and spicy or just plain sweet bowls. You then hand over your creation to one of the waiters, they bring it to the kitchen for cooking, wait time would vary depending on what time you arrive and then it's time for your stomach to party. My staple combination is rice, cabbage, carrots, beef, squid then I throw in scoops of Mongolian sauce, Szechuan sauce, Teriyaki sauce, labuyo or chili sauce and more.







The waiters are pretty attentive, if you're a regular, they would send a smile your way. I don't blame them if getting a refill for your drink takes a long time specially during peak hours. I work for the call center industry and things don't look good too when it's queuing.

You may want to come in early during weekends to avoid long lines. UAAP season, specially when the Blue Eagles have a game would result to a full house too, since Sweet Inspirations is right across Ateneo.

Their Mongolian Buffet is very budget friendly, shell out 310 pesos and you can have as many rice bowls as you can. In case you still have room for dessert you may want to check out their fridges full of cakes. We have already tried their chocolate delight (44 pesos) and banana cream pie (38 pesos), they're delicious too! :)

The Verdict. Definitely coming back for more. You might want to try this even if you're not a big fan of buffets. Plus, there's free wi-fi!
