Breakfast Surprise:
I must admit I was way too excited this weekend during ourย Crowne Plaza Manilaย staycationย that I woke up extra early to set up our breakfast while Frank was still asleep. ย I always look forward to our weekend adventures and part of that would be sharing breakfasts with him and preparing his morning coffee.
- Continental – Frank’s favorite
ย
- anything with bacon for me! hihihihi
ย
After breakfast, I immediately invited Frank to roam around the hotel and check out everything whichย Crowne Plaza Manilaย had to offer.
It’s impossible to have any dull moments while atย Crowne Plaza Manilaย or with any IHG hotel. They sure know what modern urban dwellers need. Aside from their inviting pool and spa,ย Crowne Plaza Manilaย is also directly connected to Robinson’s Galleria Mall so we were able to do a bit of window shopping that afternoon. It felt so relaxing to know that we only stayed beside the mall and it was so easy for us to buy stuff we needed anytime we wanted. ย It truly is so convenient to stay atย Crowne Plaza Manila.
- one of my best spa experiences.

The Ambrosial Dining Experiences at Xin Tian Di
Xin Tian Diย Chinese Restaurant I may say, would be one ofย ย Crowne Plaza Manila‘s primal gems with a meteor shower of delightful dim sums guaranteed to end all your dim sum cravings for a lifetime. Theirย Ultimate Unlimited Dim Sum buffetย every lunch time is something which everyone should try not only because they serve them freshly made but more because they even kicked it up a notch higher with their own versions of well-loved dim sum classics makingย Crowne Plaza Manilaย an ideal destination to indulge!
ย
Here are our personal picks:
- fried hakao
ย
- salmon taro puffs
ย
I was never a fan ofย Chicken Feetย until I tasted the one atย Xin Tian Di!
- chicken feet: The Best in Town!
ย
Aside from their dim sums,ย Xin Tian Diย at ย Crowne Plaza Manilaย also boasts of to-die-for ala carte dishes which will surely send you to palatal paradise…
- Coffee Chicken: Deliriously delish and will surely keep you awake!
ย
- Feasting. It’s more fun atย Crowne Plaza Manila
ย
- can’t get enough of their dim sums

Seven Corners Buffet Restaurant atย Crowne Plaza Manila
It was way past 7pm and Frank and I were still full with all the feasting we did the whole day but of course, we can always have room for fine food. We may not be buffet lovers ourselves, but we still had to check out ifย Seven Cornersย would be as great asย Xin Tian Di.
Seven Corners is theย Crowne Plaza Manila’s main restaurant so expect loads of people when you visit. It’s definitely one of the busiest buffet restaurants I’ve been to.
ย
Since Frank and I were still full, we decided to just tour around and take photos.
ย
But when we saw the rib eye at the carving station, my favorite smoked salmon and the 9-cheese pizza as promised by the chef, we just had to sit down and surrender…..ย Crowne Plaza Manilaย surely knows how to pamper our tummies!
- Rib-Eye steak: best with gravy and mint jelly
ย
- smoked salmon: my all time favorite
ย
- pizza loaded with 9 cheeses. We never thought the Chef would do it!
ย
- Thank You Chef for making this masterpiece!
ย
- topped my 9 cheese pizza with smoked salmon, capers and wasabi! Eureka!
