“My inspiration for our breakfast buffet is based on Pinoys’ love for silogs (sinangag-itlog) so you can pretty much create your own garlic sinangag rice with any style of eggs and mains. But of course, we offer much, much more than just silogs,” describes chef Rolando Laudico who is more popularly known as chef Lau. He heads the Guevarra’s kitchen together with wife, chef Jac.
The sumptuous selection begins with a bread corner piled with the likes of Ensaymada, Pan de Coco, Spanish bread along with various pizzas uniquely-inspired by local flavors such as tocino and tuyo, to name a few. Next, you will be grazing through the salad section to find enticing options such as the Ensaladang Talong with Salted Egg, Macaroni Salad, and Potato Salad, among others.
Then you can get started on putting together your silog of choice. For this, the egg station is a necessary stop where you can have your eggs any way you want. Among the hearty main dishes you can go for are the garlicky Vigan Longganisa, Daing na Bangus, crispy Danggit, and Chicken Pork Adobo plus the typical morning mainstays — Hotdog, Bacon, and Corned Beef. The house specialty, Angus Beef Tapa, is also part of the buffet offerings, a best-seller that guests never fail to make a beeline for.
“Our Angus Beef Tapa takes a long time to prepare. We first marinate it then it’s oven-dried, then finished on the grill to give that distinctive smoky flavor,” discloses chef Lau.
To complete your meal, you can opt for Filipino breakfast classics such as Champorado and Arroz Caldo. Other breakfast staples like waffles, pancakes, cereals, and yogurt are also part of the line-up. To cap it all off, pass by the dessert station so you can take your pick from a medley of popular kakanin such as the Palitaw, Sapin-Sapin, Pichi-Pichi and many more.
