Vikings Luxury Buffet in SM Lanang Premier has invited us for a taste test of their Thanksgiving menu in addition to a lot of dishes already offered in their buffet. It was an afternoon of great food and good company.

I personally loved the Crab and Roasted Corn Chowder that they served. The aroma of the roasted corn was ambrosial. It was definitely a good start of a great meal.

Of course, the star of the lunch was the Roasted Turkey with Apple and Bacon Pudding. The stuffing was good and the turkey meat was just divine. You can never go wrong with a roasted turkey. The sauce added flavor to the perfectly cooked turkey meat.

The Toasted Cashew and Spicy Pickled Shrimp (appetizer) was also one of my favorites. The sweet and nutty toasted cashew complements well with the slightly spicy pickled shrimps.
