Lunch buffet @ Pinoy Grill

November 17, 2013 (Sunday).  Ford and I have been eating a LOT of Filipino meals at home ever since I arrived but still we ended up having buffet lunch at Pinoy Grill yesterday.

Because there's just two of us at home, we normally just cook a viand or two for our every meal so we got excited with the idea of eating more many ulam in one sitting. Also, masarap din kasing kumain ng pagkaing hindi mo niluto hehe.

Pinoy Grill is located in the west area of Edmonton. It wasn't my first time to eat there (we already tried their buffet last year when I came here for a six-week visit) so I already knew more or less what to expect.


Pinoy Grill serves lunch buffet only on weekends, Friday to Sunday, from 11am to 2pm.


A courteous Pinoy staff welcomed us in. There weren't many diners yet because it was only past 11am.

For only $10.95 (+ 5% tax + tip), don't expect a huge spread. Here in Edmonton, that amount is only equivalent to one plated meal in a Foodcourt.


Buffet is always a good option for people with big appetite like us haha! Sulit!

There is really nothing special about their food but when you are living a thousand miles away from 'home,' the mere sight of familiar dishes is enough to make you hungry and happy.


My husband particularly liked their desserts. As he said, referring to the cassava cake: "Ito ang hindi natin maluluto sa bahay."


Aside from food, what you will like in Pinoy Grill (and in any Filipino restaurant abroad) is the idea of eating with your fellow Pinoys. And with the TFC TV on, parang nasa Pinas ka na rin. =)

Next time I will try their ala carte dishes naman.
