Food Reviews Manila's 2nd Anniversary Spectrum Buffet at Fairmont Hotel Giveaway!!!

FRM tumblr mag 73
The last but definitely not the least giveaway in FRM's 2nd anniversary giveaway series.

It's not always easy to navigate through large buffets. Aside from the overwhelming choices, most of which you usually end up not eating anyway, it's a rare feat to serve stellar dishes in every one of the stations. When talking about dining experiences, quality always trumps quantity, as with the case of Spectrum. It may not boast of a large smorgasbord as big as the ones from other hotels, but don't be mistaken. Their spread will fill you up fast enough, and will definitely leave you with gastronomic satisfaction.

Just take a look at these fine specimens of food...

Spectrum cheese charcuterie salad station

Spectrum Bread Station

Spectrum Seafood Station

Spectrum Sushi Bar

Spectrum Pizza Station
personalized personal-sized pizzas

Spectrum Carving Station 2

Spectrum desserts

Spectrum chocolate and honey station
chocolate and honeycomb

Another thing that sets them apart from most buffets is the personalized service they give. From customizing your dishes to how you want them, to delivering your customized food to your table instead of waiting for the chefs to finish cooking at a station, they make you feel as if food genies were real.

1. You know what, it's been too long since my husband and I went out on a date (i.e. just the 2 of us, without our 3 girls). Since he came back from a 1 year stint abroad, I don't think we have gone out on a romantic date. It has always been with our kids. I have been busy with work, too. The irony of this is that, he's back here in the country but his work is on a night shift. When he gets home at around 5:30 am, that's the time that I'm off to work. hahaha! Just for these reasons, I believe we both deserve a date with each other.

2. In addition to what I mentioned above, I deserve to win this because I love to try and experience new things. This is a new hotel which I haven't been to and a new hotel buffet which I haven't yet tried and winning this would be a one-of-a-kind experience for me.

I'd love to bring my father with me this lunch or dinner buffet because he is hardworking he doesn't have pleasures in his life since my mother got sick which is years ago also this October is his birth month. I also wanna bond with him , he's busy with work and I'm with studies we don't have that time to with each other. Back in the days dad & I are foodies we love to eat here & there , we love to experience new food. I'd like to bring back those good old days .

We all deserve to win but since you asked I think I deserve to win because I'm sincere , I love my dad and I love food.

I will be bringing with me my wife. She has been a good mother, wife & friend to her family and as a way of saying "thank you", I wanna treat her to a dinner date like no other. I wanna make her happy even for a night, just as how she makes our family happy every single day.

I deserve to win this giveaway, because I will be giving this to a very important person in my life. I realized I haven't given her any ring, not even when we got married, but she never complained nor even asked why. I guess winning this would make her so happy. I guess after all the sacrifices she has done for us, she deserves a treat. It's the only way I know,how to give her a grand dinner experience, a treat for being the best one for me and for my kids...praying to win for my wife...

Erika Rodriguez said...

I'm going to bring my eldest sister with me to this lunch or dinner buffet because she always treat us whenever we go out so, I think this a great opportunity for me to be able to treat her this time. I believe everyone deserves to win a buffet for two treat at Spectrum, but since I have to justify why I should be the one then I believe I am deserving since I love reading your blog, and enjoy all the information I can get. Your blog is very useful especially for people who are on the look out for nice restaurants. I would like to believe that I deserve these treats since I am an avid reader of your blog. :)

I'm bringing my boyfriend/partner/father to my children. We're celebrating our eleventh year together this year, and since we didn't get the chance to really celebrate our decade together last year, I'd like to splurge on our anniversary this year. A dinner buffet at a classy hotel, on the house nonetheless, will definitely be memorable!


We deserve to win this because we really enjoy FRM's posts and since we're foodies ourselves, we make it a point to try new places based on your reviews!

1) Who will you bring with you to this lunch or dinner buffet and why?
I'll be bringing my mother-in-law. She's undergoing chemotherapy right now. Good food is the best gift I could give her right now. It's the only thing I could offer to her to show how I support her and how proud I am that she is tough on undergoing such painful medication.

2) I'm holding these giveaways as a thank you to my FRM readers for all their support, and for continuing to read FRM. Tell me why YOU as an FRM reader deserve to win this buffet for two at Spectrum. What makes you a fan of FRM?

Other than hosting such good giveaways, I'm a fan of FRM because you write good reviews and you attach good pictures of food that never fails to seduce me. haha I want to eat them all! I think I deserve to win this buffet because I've been stalking you like crazy and reading all of your posts. :)

I would bring my mom and dad to this lunch or dinner buffet because I always wanted for them to experience the best and never been to places..

Arianna L. Rabajante said...

I'd LOVE to bring my younger sister with me to this lunch or dinner buffet. My sister and I aren't that close/talking more often since our father died. If given the chance to win this contest, I'm sure that this lunch/dinner date that I will have with my sister will be a great way for us to catch up.

I deserve this treat because the last time I went to a lunch/dinner buffet was last 2008,when my father was still alive. Back in the day, my dad will reserve a hotel room for us 4 every New year's eve, since my mom, sister and I have asthma. It's been a while, so I guess I really deserve to win this treat. :)

1) Who will you bring with you to this lunch or dinner buffet and why?
I'll be bringing my mother. She is a fan of buffet resto and we always tag team to try out new restos. Also because she's the one usually paying for the bill. Hihihi.



2) I'm holding these giveaways as a thank you to my FRM readers for
all their support, and for continuing to read FRM. Tell me why YOU as an
FRM reader deserve to win this buffet for two at Spectrum. What makes
you a fan of FRM?

Aside from the awesome giveaways, I'm a big fan of FRM because of your great yet honest write ups of different food restos. One of my hobbies is food tripping and FRM never fails me to impress with your reviews, yummy pictures, and positive feedbacks.

Steve del Castillo said...

1. I'll be bringing my wifey! she is pregnant right now and she has a lot cravings when it comes to food. Iam sure she will be happy cause she loves buffet. and i want to give her what she wants when it comes to food,cause this our firstbaby as a couple!

2. I deserve to win this buffet prize because its a chance for me to be a food critic in my own way tasting different food in a hotel give a chance to say 'ahh this is a good food or not! if i will recoomend it to my relatives and friends. hope you give me this chance to win! Iam a big fan of FRM because its guides me where i can find good restaurant in the metro by reading your reviews! and of course your giveaways! he! he! ;)

Robert Jonathan Chan said...

I am bringing my mother because she has been taking care of me with my food and clothes and as a thank you I want to surprise her with a free dinner/ lunch at a hotel for the first time.

Why I deserve because my mom has a blog and wanted to add fairmont makati in her blog

Mara Corinne Comagon said...

1) I'm bringing my mom. I'm hoping to have this as a Christmas gift to her. I'm a relatively fresh grad, been working for only a few months and it kills me that I can't afford to give her a really great gift yet. This would be a wonderful gift to her as a pat on the back for doing so well on raising my brother and I all on her own. I know I can't thank her enough for all she's done but this might be a good start :).

2) I deserve to win the buffet not only for the reason above but so I can also try my hand at your job. I know I'm one of many foodies here, but I really want to broaden my experience, to compare and contrast experiences with other foodies/food bloggers because this community is offering something great. What you think of a place could be different from mine, or some other people's experience. Different blogs can offer different views or could focus on different aspects versus another blog. It really gives the power to consumers to make more well-informed choices and I think it stimulates an even bigger challenge to restaurants to up their game in response to consumer demands/competition. What makes me a fan of FRM? I like how FRM crafts wonderful reviews paired with photos to really let readers to see and believe. It's all current or up to speed. Plus, there's the undeniable fact that each is written in a way that's well-thought out from the title to the end, trying to share an experience from the place to the textures and complexities of the food. How can you not enjoy a story like that?!

My son and I loves to eat especially when it calls for buffet. We have been trying to make a tactic out of it to makes our money's worth by not trying to eat carbs. And he is the only eating companion that's willing to go with his mom in every eating session

Why I deserve to win The Fairmont buffet? Have not tried it yet and if I do will surely post the food in my blog even include a video of all the food so that the picture will not overcrowd my blog

Ikri Mercado said...

I would bring my wife + my baby(I'll pay for it lol) so I can spend quality time and eat good food with them. I haven't treated them yet to an expensive buffet so if I win this it would be lovely.


I deserve to win this because I'm about to start my training as a cook or whatever position I get in MacroAsia and I know I'll be busy and have less time with my family. I am a fan of Food Reviews Manila (are you the pickiest eater? O_O) because you have good reviews, nice photos and info on where good food is.

1) I'll be bringing my fiance with me since I'm on a mission to make him as adventurous in trying out new food/places as I can. I love trying out new stuff and I love sharing the experience with people I hold dear to my heart. It just makes the experience more memorable. Also, his grandma told me I had to make him fat. So yeah.
2) I love food. I like looking at pictures of food. I like reading about food. I just really love food. I like experimenting with different flavors. V-cut with white chocolate. Check! Peanut butter and cheese. Yum! Anything that mixes salty and sweet for me is a win.. if spicy is added.. BOOM. Killer dish! And what better way to get to mix flavors than at a buffet, right? ;)

If I won, I will definitely bring my mom with me who's celebrating her 50th of her life caring and loving me. She never had a chance to ate on a fine dinning, hope this would be her first :)


I'm a fan, a reader of FRM, i love to cook and i love to eat :) I believe that I deserve to win, not just because of the prize but I know for a fact that I really deserve to this.


Anyway, thanks for the opportunity. More Power! God bless...

Nicole de Dios said...

1) If I win, I will give this chance to my parents. They've been staying at home and I want them to experience a really good buffet. As a breadwinner, I have priorities with our monthly expenses and I really can't afford treating them both out especially to a prestige buffet like this.

2) I'm very proud of you, not losing your passion to entertain your readers. As always, we discover new restaurants, first in hand information of new food in the market, and experiences we can avoid because of your blogs. I deserve to win because I want it bad for my parents. I can't imagine making them so happy for a chance like this.

Ann Mae Aguilar said...

1. I will bring my boyfriend with me! He's not that as adventurous as I am when it comes to trying out new places to eat, but there's no way for him to refuse this buffet dining experience with me :) Besides, this is gonna be a memorable experience for both of us since we haven't tried yet buffet at a hotel. Surely, we'll enjoy the food at Fairmont!

2. I simply love food and I love to eat! Oh well, given that sweets are my fave! Whenever I see posts from food blogs, (besides the fact that it makes me hungry ^_^ and makes me crave) I wanna try them myself too and share my own experience to the people I dearly love :)

Zarah Loteria said...

1) Who will you bring with you to this lunch or dinner buffet and why?
I will bring my closest friend Christy Pedreso. Why? Because out of all the challenges that I encountered this year, she never left me no matter what. She was ALWAYS there not just physically but also emotionally and that matters most to me and my family since we've gone through A LOT! Just like you, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to her for all the things that she's done and accepting us as part of her life as well. I will NEVER find someone like her who depicts the true meaning of "through UPS and DOWN/S."

2) I'm holding these giveaways as a thank you to my FRM readers for all their support, and for continuing to read FRM. Tell me why YOU as an FRM reader deserve to win this buffet for two at Spectrum. What makes you a fan of FRM?


I am a fan not just because I read your blogs, but because I live by it! I walk the talk as you're doing it and I try (if possible) all the things that you do as well. One example of which is I eat at places you feature and now even planning to blog about it just the way you do it! Truly inspiring blogs... I never imagined looking at a plate of food as the star of the table until you showed me how to appreciate the things we can have and impart to others! Thanks to that and happy anniversary! More power to you and continue to inspire people just like me to see food in a different perspective!

Pearliza Concepcion-Nuval Pagu said...

1.) 1) Who will you bring with you to this lunch or dinner buffet and why?
Definitely my husband. Aside from the fact that I love him, October is our birth month so it's a double celebration. This would also be like my treat/gift for him for being hard working and the breadwinner of our family since I don't work and don't have the money to buy him any fancy gifts.


2.) As a fan of FRM I deserve to win because I love reading your posts. I have learned a lot of good place to eat here in Manila since I'm barely new here, I already have lists of my favorite places which I'm hoping to visit soon.

Maki Yosh said...

1) If i'll win, i'll give this to my mom and dad. This past few months they're always apart from each other so this lunch or dinner buffet is perfect for them to have a date! :)


2) I deserve to win this because like FRM I love travelling just to taste different foods, and try different cuisine. :)

Ivica Rae Say said...

1. Definitely bringing my Mamabelle if ever I'd be chosen as winner. :) My Mamabelle is my Mom at my previous work. She brings food to me, treat me out, cared for me just like a real daughter everyday. Since I resigned, I missed the chance to tell her how much she means to me. By treating her to Spectrum, I can show her how thankful I am for all the love and concern she has given and is still giving me. I miss her so much and I'm sure this would give us a time to bond and catch up on things, just like how we used to.


2. I've been drawn to your site because I love food. I love how you layout the photos and how they are presented. I see to it that I check what's new, what's in and what to find out in a restaurant. You update me with the latest food finds in and out of the city :)

Ayi Esguerra said...

1) If I win this contest, I will bring my husband with me. He's done a lot of hard work taking care of me and my family. Though he does not earn money by working in a company, he provides us with what we need by dedicating his time and energy to us. I want to give him a reward that he will definitely enjoy and remember since he loves to eat and try different cuisine, but the prices of the food in fancy restaurants are too expensive for us. He does not want me to spend money over expensive things and food just for him to be able to try it.

2) I enjoy reading every post on your site because I can already imagine the taste and experience the food that you review. I also learn what to try and which is a better food/restaurant. With your reviews, I was able to plan our eating adventures whenever we have extra budget and time to eat out. I hope you'll write more reviews and suggest more budget-friendly options.

I want to bring my Mother simply because she's been cooking for the family everyday and I want to return her effort and time for us by treating her to a buffet in Spectrum. I'm sure that she'll be inspired to cook more delicious food if she'll have the chance to have a taste of Spectrum's buffet dishes. I deserve to win as a fan of FRM because I don't end a day without browsing the FRM page because I dream of becoming a food blogger someday and I admire your great way of reviewing different kind of dishes / restaurants.

1.) I would like to bring my parent's to a scrumptious buffet at Spectrum. I have show that I am grateful to the efforts they have given me. Their wedding anniversary is almost up too! It is the most memorable gift I can send my parents to.

2.) I have been reading FRM for quite sometime and the reviews here are always interesting. I wish for FRM to continue reviewing food finds for foodies around the Metro. Its always wonderful to have a place to go when you have a grumbly tummy. More power FRM!

Alston Cue said...

1. October is my sister's birthday month, I have yet to give her any gifts on her birthday since we both graduated from college. This would definitely be a great first gift


2.I always use this site as a reference point whenever a spontaneous dinner is set among my friends. I send FRM blog posts of the different restaurants to them and the night out begins here. After winning the 2 passes for Spectrum, I would probably add them to the pool of restaurants to further visit in the future.

1) Who will you bring with you to this lunch or dinner buffet and why? Telling me you'll bring your special someone because you love him or her isn't exactly gonna make your entry a cut above the rest so please be more specific and personal.

I'll bring my sister because she's been working 4 jobs and don't have a lot of time for herself. I want to give her a chance to unwind and relax and have some "me"time like we used to.

2) I'm holding these giveaways as a thank you to my FRM readers for all their support, and for continuing to read FRM. Tell me why YOU as an FRM reader deserve to win this buffet for two at Spectrum. What makes you a fan of FRM?

I think I'm hoping more than I think i deserve it since I think everyone here deserves it. We all like and follow FRM religiously and personally, it helps me know what's going on food-wise in the metro since I'm so busy nowadays.

Please write your complete name (as shown in your valid ID) and email address.

2) Well I deserve to win this treat because I am not just a big fan of FRM but I am an avid reader of FRM, contest junkie of FRM, and I always visit this website everyday in my life!

1) I'll be going to bring my mama on this lovely hotel and treat her the best buffet! Why?

**I deserve to win this because I am a foodie and love food. As a fan I can truly relate because I love food and because of my mom, she cooks with love and care.

As much as I want to bring my husband to dine with me, I'd rather choose my mom to share this gastronomic feast with. This is the perfect way to say "Thank you, Mom!" for all the hardwork that she has done for us, her four kids, and the coolest Mamita to her 2 grandsons. Now that she is slowly aging, we must do everything to pamper her and make her feel special. :)



I deserve to win because I'm a certified FRM fan. Whenever I'm online, I see to it that I check out new blogposts from your site. FRM is like a Foodies Bible. I visit your site not only because of the great giveaways, but mainly because of the reliable reviews of different establishments especially the new ones.

1.) I will bring my husband as my treat for him. He is a workaholic
because he is the only one working in our family & I am a full-time
housewife. He really deserve a break from work, I want him to experience
what the Spectrum can offer: the "SIMPLY LIFE" innovative dining
concept. I will let him feel life enjoyment even just for a lunch,
because life is so short & he must enjoy it & it is not about
work & the stress, associated with it.

2.) I am hoping
& praying to win this, so that whatever dream I want my husband to
experience will come true. As a FRM reader, I really do deserve to win
this buffet treat for two because it is my only pass to that dream
because I
have no work, no means of paying a buffet lunch treat in a newest &
prestigious luxury hotel in the country. By subscribing to FRM thru my
email, posting about it on my FB & Twitter account, make ME an AVID
FAN of FRM.

Happy 2nd year Anniversary! Thank you for featuring
delicious dishes & prestigious restaurants in your site, you make me
aware that there are still other cuisines outside my home that we must
try on.

GOD bless us all.

I'm going to bring my mom and dad as a treat, because after my brother and sister got married, there's only 3 of us at home. Aside from TV and bejeweled, we love good food.

Im going to bring my mom if I win this, God willng. She sacrificed, practically, her life for us 3 siblings. Being widowed at the age of 37, she single-handedly brought us up, sent us to school and provided a relatively comfortable life for us. When I had a vehicular accident, she made sure I got the right treatment just to get my fce and body back to normal. A lot of sacrifices has been done by my mom. This would be a great way of thanking her and to bond with her. I want her to feel life, to enjoy life again.

FRM has helped me widen my knowledge on food. I have always been content with the "old school" restos and fast food. Very limited?...yes! But since I've started reading FRM I became more aware of other great food spots! Thank you for that! Now eating out is something I am excited about. i want to explore and experience different food. Hope I win this, haven't tried this place yet. Thanks for the great and honest revies.

1. I'm gonna bring my best friend with me because I owe her a lot of time and stories :) We haven't gone out for a long time so I am sure she's a bit "nagtatampo" because she thinks that I was neglecting her (or I had found a new bestie, but not)


2. I deserve to win this giveaway because I've been an avid fan of yours ever since I found your site months ago. I love how you give us, your readers, insights about these awesome restaurants that we haven't been to.

1.) I'd like to bring in my sister because aside from i want to share to her the fun and delicious meal I've won, I've been wanting to give her a break as a teacher and as my way of saying thank you's to all the good deeds she has done in me and my son. I'd like her to know how thankful and blessed I am to be her sister, and that even if I'm not "malambing" still I value and love her.


2.) I really want to have this giveaway because it's my only way of treating her. I personally wanted to try a fine dining experience with her. We're very close as sisters and by seeing and reading a blog like this really helps us to broaden our knowledge about different cuisines.

1) If I had Given a chance to win this yummy Foods! I want to be with my Mother-in-Law, my husband and I are 8 years in a relationship, but me and my Mother in law haven't give us a chance and time to be together. Where staying in the same house but we haven't experience to talk, laugh, hang outs and eat together outside, on the other hand our financial budget was only exact in our daily needs, specially provided to our 1 year old son. So I think this is the best time to treat her and I know this will help us to get to know more each other and to stay close! Hoping for this once in a lifetime opportunity!! Thank you for giving us a chance :) More Power and Success Food Reviews Manila!!

2) Food Reviews Manila helped us to learn and know more about foods! Like us Mom we don't have enough time and money to buy foods. So for this simple Food Blogs, we are giving a chance to review, and have time to be more specific in buying and trying foods! So I'm a reader lover of Food Reviews Manila Blog! I think this simple reason deserve me to win! Thank you so Much and God Bless!!

Karen Tejuco said...

1) If I were to win this giveaway, I'll be sure to bring my sister. There are two things that made us inseparable, skating and FOOD. It has been almost a year since we started figure skating. After sweating ourselves on the ice for hours, we ALWAYS pig out. Before, we weren't "brave" enough to try new food places so we would always eat at the same fast food chains. But because of FRM (which I will elaborate more on my answer for the second question), we started trying out new food and we can't get enough of it! Since our allowances are only minimal, we stick to affordable places. If I win this, we can finally eat at a buffet together which we have always planned to do but never got to. Now that we're more adventurous (like really really adventurous) on trying out new food, I'm pretty sure this lunch or dinner buffet will be worth it.

2) Honestly, I only used to read fashion blogs. But when I came across FRM, it became my top visited blog. I believe I deserve this because not only do I read your posts, I actually try new food places out because of FRM. My favorite one is Bono. I actually have a blog post about it where I also mentioned I knew about it because of FRM. Here's the link of my food posts including the one about Bono: http://karen-po.tumblr.com/tagged/foodtrippings I have been posting about food way before I came across FRM but FRM made me write better about the food I eat (I think?) You judge me!!! :)) Aside from Bono, I have also tried other ones because of FRM like Yakimix (unfortunately not with my sister), Manang's, Racks, Conti's, Sophie's Mom and Frostings. I have yet to try other ones but most of the food places I like that I read in your blog are in Taguig. And it's not really accessible for me. But when I go there, I'll be sure to try The Cake Club!!!! I love cakes.



Sorry for the long answers. Hope you read everything. :) More power!!! :)

1) I bring my hubby for
this lunch or dinner buffet coz i want to treat him in his birthday.

That`s why i want to bring my hubby to surprise him in his birthday.

2) I deserve to win this buffet for two at Spectrum because i want to try those delicious foods and to experience in ambiance in Fairmont hotel. What makes

I'm going to treat my mom here if I win ^_^ *fingers crossed* Goodluck lovelies.

Mary Louise Sanchez said...

1) Who will you bring with you to this lunch or dinner buffet and why?
We recently celebrated our First year Wedding Anniversary and since we have a tight budget and due to busy work schedule of my husband, we just celebrated it at home with just a simple dinner. I want to bring him to this dinner or lunch buffet as my Anniversary gift to him. i don't have anything to offer but love and care plus this giveaway if ever I win will be the third one in my gift list! I don't yet experience eating in a buffet style restaurant and if ever this is going to be my first time, honestly!:-) I also want to treat my husband as my thanksgiving for being such a good provider of our family! Having someone I love eating right beside me in a fancy restaurant or hotel is such a great moment of my life that I will never forget! :-)

2) Tell me why YOU as an FRM reader deserve to win this buffet for two at Spectrum. What makes you a fan of FRM?
As a big Fan of FRM, I deserve to win this Buffet for two at spectrum because I'm an avid reader of Food Reviews Manila. I really appreciate all the effort that Ms.Guia exerted just to make sure that she will have something wonderful and colorful to present in every blog that she's making. Actually i already won in one of FRM's Giveaway courtesy of The Fruit Garden! And since i have read everything about the product through the FRM blog, when I claimed my prize, (Luxury jams) I already know what to expect and what to do in order to complement the food that I'm preparing with different flavored jams. I also discovered different gastronomic hang-outs that I knew before and by just reading FRM Blogs, I feel that I'm in that place and tasting the aroma and sweetness of the food prepared at that particular restaurant. Just like when I'm reading this write-up about the Spectrum at Fairmont Hotel, I'm already imagining that me and my husband are eating there as our anniversary celebration! Thanks to FRM for the wonderful reviews and great giveaways! :-)

1) I'll bring my husband to this special dinner. Our birthdays are only 15 days apart and we celebrated our 5th year anniversary last August. Due to our busy schedules, we weren't able to make our anniversary and my birthday that special. Hopefully we can make his birthday special with a buffet dinner at Fairmont. :)

2) Thanks, Food Review Manila. Your blog reviews and mouthwatering photos help me make informed decisions on where to satisfy my food cravings.

Istin Dizon Paigna said...

1) I would love to try all the mouth watering foods that Fairmont Makati has to offer but I want to be generous and give this chance to experience this to my parents. It might be cliche but as a daughter who still depends to her parents for support to herself and kids, I owe them a lot and I may not be able to repay them in cash but a simple or a awesome treat such as this can be so memorable and unforgettable for them. My parents are easy to please and I am sure that this would be an excellent gift for them not only as a thank you gift but also for their 32nd wedding anniversary.

2) I may not be an avid fan who regularly visits or comments to your posts. But everytime I get to receive my email feeds of your blog, you never stop to amaze me with your photos.
Your food photos are so tempting and makes one to try the dishes. I hope to get picked as the winner because its not only me that will be happy but the persons whom I love most will have a different way of celebrating their anniversary for this year.

( I will bring my MOM and my BROTHER and his GIRLFRIEND and my TWO SON'S this is the special moment for me i treat my love one's free buffet..)

2. I'm holding these giveaways as a thank you to my FRM readers for all their support, and for continuing to read FRM. Tell me why YOU as an FRM reader deserve to win this buffet for two at Spectrum. What makes you a fan of FRM?

1) I'll be bringing my brother not just because it's his birthday this October but also as a way to celebrate that (hopefully) we've passed all subjects this semester! This will be our stress-reliever and celebratory dinner especially since we love eating at buffets!

2) I am a fan of FRM because whenever I need information about a certain food haunt, I can be assured that I have an accurate guide on that place. I am pleased to find that the opinions here are honest and that they never sugar-coat reviews. I think that food bloggers should make personal recommendations on what they find good and not good in restaurants, and not just write positive reviews--that way, readers can use food blogs as suggestions so that money can be spent worthwhile--and I find that FRM does just that. More power! =)

I just love eating. I am never picky. Eating is my my stress reliever. and i reading food reviews helps me a lot with choosing new ones to try. What I love about FRM are the mouth watering pictures and honest to goodness reviews

There will be no other else I would bring in this special occasion to celebrate FRM 2nd anniversary ang natatangi kong pag-ibig ang aking Misis.
Special occasions like this spending time with someone very special and someone who shares the same passion and interest like food. Me and my wife met in a photography club and through that venue our passion in photography that took us where we are right now. We are working parents and after work we assume the role of being parents to our kids makinh sure that we prepare good food for them to be nourish. We take time when we prepare food and time to photograph it too, whethet we use a dslr cam or the camera for the ipad. We love food and very interested in different food adventure we can get. If ever we win this would be an amazing journey we can both have... The array and variety of food we can encounter and the culture of each dish we can experience is truly the amazing part.

I am a fan of FRM because of the adventure of different kinds of food and also the photos are awesome, it is like I can almost dissecting each ingridients included in every dish.

I am a fan of FRM simply because I love to eat. my weight and heft are proof of that. I also love to explore new eats and FRM saves me the trouble of finding out for myself. Keep it up FRM!

Jennifer Ablanida said...

1) I will bring my husband to be with me we just had our 1st year wedding anniversary last Sept. 08, 2013 and honestly we haven't been to a fancy buffet we never have the money to go there since I don't work and his salary is low we usually buy vouchers for a hotel travel so we can at least save up but we never tried buffets I don't know why but I guess if we win we can at least try... the food really is inviting even just looking at it you will get hungry, I am sure my husband will appreciate if him and I will go to it together.. We will use it on December since that month we have many things to celebrate, Our Wedding Monthsary Dec. 08, My Birthday Dec. 15 and our Anniversary as Boyfriend and Girlfriend Dec. 23 so it is a memorable month.

2. I am a new fan of FRM :) to be honest.. but I love reading if i have time from household chores, I am a housewife so being able to read your blog about food that i never tasted before makes it exciting!!! at least even I don't go out much I feel like I am going out and eating in some fancy restaurant... or some place I never been able to visit.

I’ll bring with me my dad. He’s driving,
I’m “paying” for the food. Like me, he’s also “malakas kumain” especially Japanese
food. Mana ako sa kanya eh. So I’m pretty sure that we’ll both enjoy the
Spectrum’s Sushi Bar



Good reviews of good places to eat
make me a fan of FRM. Though I cannot afford to eat in many of the places
featured in the reviews, nakakatuwa na rin dahil kahit papaano ay parang
nakapasok na din ako doon :-) I deserve to win because I swear na kahit libre
at maraming pagkain sa Spectrum di ko sasayangin ang food.

I love to eat and I love eating food the "FIESTA" way just like in the province where you can eat all you want all day as long as there's food! Same goes for buffet which makes it exciting! I love delicious food and celebration altogether. Food brings out the best in me. Food is love and happiness, everything is in the right perspective when my tummy is happy. Did I mention that I love food? hahaha

I'll definitely tag along my food buddies! My husband, son and brother (pang buffet ang appetite namin!) Mahilig kami mag try ng di pa namin natititkman kaya perfect itong contest na ito. :)

3 years ago, my hubby decided to bring us with him in the province ( with my 3 kids in Tugugarao particularly ) because of work . I never wanted to leave antipolo because mom has noone else but me. We decided to go anyway coz my hubby became emotional and all.
My kids never really liked the province , they became sickly kids. When i tell you sickly, i meant every dam_ week we were in the hospital. DId i tell you they all got admitted all at once and my hubby wasn't there bec he needed to go up the mountains for field work and i tell you i got no body and i don't know anyone from that place. His secretary was the one who brought us to the hospital and the rest, well , like they say, is history.


Fast forward to the NOW, We both decided that me and my kids return and stay here permanently bec they got sick again , needed to be admitted AGAIN and doctors there couldn't even diagnose what the illness was. We got back just last month and i'm really thankful that their school was able to accept them wholeheartedly though we all knew it was already the midsem. All the teachers there helped the kids to cope up with their studies. When i told my hubby about the school, we just broke down and cried like babies to each others' arms.
It will be our 9th year wedding anniversary next week and i'm really asking, hoping and praying that you will choose this story so i could give him a super special treat on our anniversary. We both love to cook and eat and cook. We have no yaya/maid so i think practice makes perfect and i could say he is perfect when it comes to cooking. But i really want him , want us to dine like a king and queen even for just a day. If given a chance, I would appreciate it soooo so much. Please give us a chance to win this and give us the chance to thank you in advance :)

I will definitely bring my partner with me, since one of our bonding moment is when we prepare food for our kids after office work specially during weekends it became a hobby to take photos of what we cook. When we dine in a resto we take photographs of it too and share it over photo sharing apps. and also my birthday is nearing this prize would be the awesomest birthday treat for me.

FRM became one of our flatform when it comes to food photographs inspirations. We love how food are presented for the blog readers. I deserve to win to experience the glorious Fairmont buffet treat. :)

1. My wife, October is our birth month so it would be a perfect birthdate for us. Besides I haven't brought her to any fancy dinner ever since we were dating and I really think she deserves this for being an amazing wife and loving mom to our kids, she's also pregnant right now and about to have our third baby by next month, so for she'll she would love this.


2. I am one of those certified foodie, I love trying out different cuisines, restaurant but I don't have any idea unitl I found about your blog from my wife who loves reading it. I wanna win this so bad for my wife.

1) If I had Given a chance to win Lunch or Dinner Buffet at Fairmont Hotel Makati! I want to be with my Mother-in-Law, my husband and I are 8 years in a relationship, but me and my Mother in law haven't give a chance and time to have to get together. Where staying in the same house but we haven't experience to talk, laugh, hang outs and eat together outside, on the other hand our financial budget was only exact in our daily needs, specially provided to our 1 year old son. So I think this is the best time to treat her and I know this will help us to get to know more each other and to stay close! I know we need to save money pa for this kind of treat. That's why I'm so thankful for this BLOG Contest and trying my LUCK! I want her to feel na super special siya sakin na siya na ang aking 2nd Mom! Hoping for this once in a lifetime opportunity!! Thank you for giving us a chance :) More Power and Success Food Reviews Manila!!

2) Food Reviews Manila helped us to learn and know more about foods! Like us Mom we don't have enough time and money to buy foods. So for this simple Food Blogs, we are giving a chance to review, and have time to be more specific in buying and trying foods! So I'm a reader lover of Food Reviews Manila Blog! I think this simple reason deserve me to win! Thank you so Much and God Bless!!

I’ll bring my one and only sister, whom I haven’t spoken for quite some time now. It’s not that we’re not okay but like anyone else we have our falling out and I miss the times we get along really fine. The last time we went out together was in 2010 and I cannot
forget the text message she sent me after the dinner treat –“Ate thanks for the amazing dinner that I may never had, if it wasn’t for u. It was one good experience and a sumptuous post birthday meal...Minus d supposed birthday greeting blooper and d little extra dizziness for the protein overload…hehe tnks again. Really appreciate it”. It just made my day and I had a genuine smile before going to bed that night.

Her birthday is coming a month from now and I want to bring her around to a fancy hotel as my treat, it would be her first time to sample an eat all you can feast and I know it would delight her big appetite. :) Kiddin’ aside I just want us to spend some time together again and Christmas is coming, I wish this date with her will find its way for us be closer once more.

FRM, I deserve to win like anyone else because your blog is feast to my eyes and to my hungry fangs. Thank you for your generosity in running promos like this!

I would definitely bring my special someone to the buffet. There is nothing like enjoying a great dinner with the most beautiful person I have ever met. We will be celebrating our third year anniversary this December. We've been through a lot of ups-and-downs in our roller coaster-kind of relationship. I am just extremely glad and thankful that we both stayed with each other.

Also, a nice, simple, and elegant dining isn't a bad idea after a tiring, draining, and exhausting bar examination. :)

Happy anniversary, FRM! Looking forward to more foodporns with you! :)

I will bring my dad and my mom. As I write this, my dad is having a surgery. We are here since friday, Oct 18 and i had my birthday the next day. I was not able to treat my parents because i thought of just saving the money to help my parents with the hospital expenses.

To FRM, thank you for coming up with this kind of surprises. Everyone deserves this treat and I hope you will choose me because this will truly make my dad and mom happy after days of being here in the hospital.

I will bring my husband to this lunch or dinner buffet because since we married and had a kid we never dated like before (just the two of us or just him & our daughter) due to financial issues...maybe this will be the chance for it. And hope to win this one as my birthday treat for him this coming November 22.

Thank you FRM for featuring different foods & reviews (as if I can tell if its good or not, if it delicious or not, if its a good or bad value--money matters and enticing me to try it)... by the way you show it to us (describing it and showing pictures and at the same time reviewing other comments of others)

Who will I bring? Since it will be just for 2, if ever ill win ill let my parents enjoy the buffet. Honestly this kind of buffet are so expensive for us that we won't be considering on eating there,our budget are way to limited to indulge ourselves in a buffet this expensive. I mean if we really want we could save for it, but practicality wise we wouldn't haha! (cursepoverty). I think its time for my parents to go on a date again they are both busy with taking care of my nephew that they rarely go out. Since its redeemable till Dec. 18 and my father's birthday is Dec.12 then they could be go there and celebrate just the both of them (ika nga ikain na lang nila kami haha)

Whenever I read your food reviews it felt like I'm having a out of the body experience haha That I'm really there with you at that moment.The pictures alone look so appetizing, include your comments about the food or restaurants, makes me wish that I could afford anywhere I want to eat. And though I'm just new to your blog, I tried to back read your post and learned a lot from it, sometimes me and my sister read it at the same time then comment on everything. (hey I want that, ang sarap naman nun, wow ayos un ah, gusto kong matikman yun hahaha) it serves as our bonding moment. I would also take this opportunity to Thank you for a job well done will the reviews you gave a lot of insight to different foods that we could possibly enjoy or not.

Do I deserve to win YES for my Parents I'll shout and say YES they deserve this. If Mr. Luck is on my side then I'll tell him to give all the LUCK he could give ME because I really want this for my PArents hahaha its exactly 24hrs till the Rafflecopter closes so Mr. Luck don't leave me till then!



And to everyone Goodluck and Congratulations to whoever will win tomorrow!!
Godbless! ^^
