MANILA — To celebrate their 37th founding anniversary, Dads World Buffet will offer 50 percent discount on all the buffet packages at all their branches.
Instead of paying P688 or P888 for lunch or dinner, respectively, diners will be treated to a wide selection of dishes from all over the world at half the price. Lunch will be offered at only P344, while dinner will be served at only P444.
Vicvic Villavicencio founded the Triple V chain of restaurants some 40 years ago. The whole concept and recent change of name is timely because they now offer diners with “a world of limitless choices, the restaurant business is one that evolves with the times.”
Dads World Buffet offers a wide array of world cuisine, add to that the 70 kids of sushi to satisfy one’s cravings. The selection does not end there – enjoy South American-style grilled meats, roasted US Angus beef and butterball turkey, Chinese dimsum, and of course, Filipino favorites.
“No Leftover Policy”
“We opened Dads in the early ‘90s but I had already begun noticing how much food was being wasted by diners who piled their plates at buffest but couldn’t finish everything on it,” Villavicencio recalled.
Food wastage is a common problem in buffet.
To avoid this, Villavicencio implemented a “no-leftover” policy. Diners who fail to abide by this rule will need to pay double of the buffet price.
“That’s one thing my dad taught us. It was a very strict rule: We had to finish the food on our plates or else we would end up in purgatory,” he shared.
As a result, diners learned to eat sensibly.
“If there was anything we tried to contribute to society, then it would be the importance of not letting good food go to waste,” Villavicencio said.
Save the Date!
Mark your calendars on the 26th of August and enjoy your lunch or dinner with your loved ones. Just a tip – diners need to call in advance and book seatings.
For example, the lunch seatings will be from 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m., 12 p.m.-1.30 p.m. and 1.30 p.m.-2.30 p.m.
“Guests will have to call in advance to reserve a table and they have to indicate whether they prefer the first, second or thirdseating. On Aug. 26, we will only seat them once their party is 80 percent complete,” Villavicencio said.
Dads World Buffet’s branches are located at SM Megamall, Glorietta III, EDSA, Manila, and West Avenue in Quezon City.
