The Wild Orchid Resort: a beautiful retreat in the midst of Angeles City.

As is customary for me before embarking on any kind of trip, I take to the internet to read about the place, where to stay and eat, and the stuff outside the hotel that we could do and then try to create a detailed itinerary.

The carving station at Vikings, SM BF.

Claiming to be not only one of the Philippines' biggest buffet (300-400 seater) but with an added perk of luxury and comfort, Vikings has made a name in the buffet industry with over 8 branches throughout the country.
