Amid all the delightful choices Claire, I’d be all set with the mango juice and the seasonable fresh fruit. I love the fresh fruit selections in SE Asia, from mango, to passion fruit, to rambutan, dragon fruit, and yes, I even like the dinky little, non-Cavendish bananas that a Cambodian dude once told me were “crap” LOL. I dig the fruity flavor to the little things. Even though it seems a bit off compared to its bigger cousins.
Agree with you Ryan, the fruits in Southeast Asia are delicious and full of flavor. The seasonal fruits were a great start to many delicious treats at the Shangri-La at the Fort. Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful place! I’ve actually only been to the one in Edsa but I’m sure the quality is just as good as the one in the fort. Those desserts looked so good!!!
This was actually our first experience at a Shangri-La and we were totally blown away by the place, amenities, and service. I’m certain the level of service at the Shangri-La is consistent worldwide. Great experience overall!!
OMG!!.. Everything looks fantastic!.. Bread and Pastries at High Street Cafe is so inviting and so are those chocolates!… Oh yeah, the room looks fab too!…
Did they have good options for the vegans?…
One of the great things about the Philippines is their friendly service. While we did not look for vegan options, I’m certain any of the restaurants at the Shangri-La at the Fort could accommodate any of your dietary needs. You’ll have plenty of restaurants and food experiences to choose from 🙂 Cheers.
I love the idea of a wok and noodle station! Also, Manila is a prime beef lover’s dream haha, thanks for the great recommendations!
You are most welcome, Jen. We are happy to provide delicious food options for your travels to Manila 🙂 Cheers
I’m hungry after reading that delicious article. The Shangri La never disappoints for great food all around the globe.
You are right Alice, the experience at the Shangri-La globally is consistently outstanding. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
This all looks so delicious! It also looks like it is made with high quality. The cafe reminds me of a similar coffee house that I went to in Thailand.
Ahh the pictures are gorgeous and makes me want to dig right in? And that pool? WOW! Makes me want to stay in Shangri-la too if I ever got the chance to visit Manila.
Thanks for stopping by. A trip to Shangri-La at the Fort is a must for your visit to the Philippines. Cheers!
It sounds like your really enjoyed your trip! Looks delicious!
Well this made my mouth water! Probably should not have read it on an empty stomach. I didn’t know that Manilla had such great places to eat. I’m pinning this for a future trip, thanks for the great post!
Awesome Katherine and great to hear you enjoyed the article. Yes, Manila does have a lot of wonderful places to eat. The Shangri-La offers one of the best experiences. It is certainly worth visiting on your trip to the Philippines. Thanks for stopping by.
🙂 I travel to Manila regularly for work. Since work pays for it, and they’re picky about safety and stuff like that, I have had the pleasure of being familiar with 5 star Philippine service. SE Asia just in general has incredible buffets and service at the higher end hotels, you must be having a ball!
Thanks, Nuraini and you are right the service in the Philippines is outstanding and friendly. On your next trip to Manila, stay at the Shangri-La and be prepared for a luxurious experience. Safe travels!!
