It's nearing Halloween and what is Halloween without candy? (Answer: Not Halloween) Spoil your sweet tooth with unlimited Dessert! From snicker-doodles to Panna cotta, have as much as you can handle. I can handle a lot so this type of buffet is super sulit!
Gillian Gail Dessert Buffet just opened in June 2014. The interiors are cutesy and comfortable with light blue & white painted walls and playfully decorated counters. The place is good to de-stress with desserts and friends. (Stressed is desserts spelled backwards!! Mind=blown)
Dessert Buffet
Php 299 (with unlimited drinks - coffee, tea, or house blend iced tea)
Php 399 (with unlimited drinks and Rice topping & sauce - salmon/chicken)
*Prices inclusive of VAT and service charge
Priced at P299-P399, you can stay and eat for a maximum of 3 hours. Just get up if you know your time is up because they didn't remind us about our time when we ate there which I think is pretty nice of them. They serve more than just desserts. Nachos, tea and coffee are included in the buffet to cleanse your palate. Anti-sawa.
Dessert table was clean and colored by different types of desserts. (c) Xinnia Fadirugao for these two photos.
Service was good. The staff were nice and didn't get tired serving our tea and coffee. They'll present to you a menu where you can order the listed "chilled" or "to be prepared" desserts (inc. fried palitaw, macarons, panna cotta, crepes, and more) In this buffet, left-overs are a no-no. It's a good thing to practice because wasted food is wasted money. So remember to order only what you think you can finish. Bawal takaw-mata.

*drool* My favorites include their cakes and cupcakes. Realize that a slice of cake costs P50+ somewhere and here, you can devour a whole round of cake if you can. I took advantage of this and had 3-4 slices of different flavored cakes. The pink blob in the photo was a rice crispy treat (If I remember correctly) covered in strawberry chocolate. Fruits were also available but it wasn't the right time and place to act all healthy.

Unlimited ice cream!!! If you think they have Magnum because of the photo on the freezer, then you got your hopes up. They had Cornetto and Selecta ice cream to be decorated by your choice of toppings (sprinkles, marshmallows, gummies).
Quality
I'm being super honest here. There were hits and misses. Not everything was top quality delicious but most of the ones I tasted were pretty good and delightful! I loved their cakes the most but didn't like their macarons. For a bargain price of P299, it was well worth the variety of desserts you get to taste and the overall pleasurable experience. I have yet to try their rice toppings.
