Vikings Luxury Buffet Offers World Street Food This August

When we say “street food,” the first thing that comes to our minds is the ready-to-eat food sold along the streets. Although these kinds of food may not be the “cleanest” of them all, some people still dig them because they are cheap and delectable. Some countries are even proud of their street foods because not only are they delicious, but also one-of-a-kind.

So if you like eating and trying out street foods, then you’re going to enjoy what Vikings Luxury Buffet is offering now. For the whole month of August, the country’s biggest and most enticing eat-all-you can restaurant is featuring the “World Street Food” which showcases all-time favorite street food items from different countries.

Last weekend, Philippine Primer had the opportunity to explore a variety of street foods that are prepared with a twist, ingenious flair and style.

Let’s start with the appetizers. Enliven you appetite with this classic and all-time Singaporean favorite, the Oyster Omellete, made of oyster and egg, mixed with flour and cooked to perfection.

Another item is the nurtured pride of Filipino cuisine, the appetizingly good and juicy Chori Burger, a homemade chorizo patty in fried mantao bread. All-time favorite Asian comfort food Beef and Chicken Satay from Indonesia is another crowd favorite because of its tender beef and chicken that is served street food style and with rich peanut dipping sauce, making this dish so special and enjoyable in every bite.

Next in line is the authentic and signature local street food, Balut Deconstructed from the Philippines, which is quite unique. Balut, as we all know, is a developing duck embryo that is boiled for about three weeks. But here, expect a beer battered duck embryo topped with balut mousse and garnish, chicken floss and sliced albumen (bato). This one is really a must-try especially for foreigners.

Popiah (Spring Rolls) is a popular Malaysian street food and is commonly served at home with braised Jicama, tofu, shrimp and ground peanut spring rolls. These fresh spring rolls are visually appetizing and considered as one of the palatable dishes in the salad choices because of its supreme flavor. It is very ideal for sharing with family and friends.
