Brasserie on 3 at Conrad Hotel

I’ve used my free dinner voucher at Conrad last Sunday with my sister, Chai.  Brasserie on 3 is located at the 3rd level of the hotel. The entire structure of the hotel looks like a cruise ship. My sister noticed that as soon as we saw Conrad from a far. The hotel exuded a glamour of high quality and elegance.  The chic interior is quite stunning with its tall glass panels and post modern motif of Conrad.




I made the reservation over the phone, coz I’m afraid that there will be numbers folks coming in for holiday dinner. Upon arrival, I showed my Hilton voucher and the staff led us to our table. We were welcomed by the dessert station loaded  with  sweet goodies – and since it’s almost Christmas, the ginger bread house stood bright and proud right at the entrance to welcome the guest.

To my surprise, the place isn’t crowded, which is good! Hahaha.  The place is spacious, decors are new and modern. They also have a nice view of the Manila Bay, which is a bonus points for me.

The food choices are quite limited, compared to other buffet in the metro,  but the tang pleased my palate. Nothing wowed me really, except of course the place itself. There wasn't any distinctive dish in the selection that was worth noting.

There’s the sushi station, salad bar, few selections of cheese, dried fruits and nuts, dessert station, Sinigang station where they serve some piping hot bowls of shrimps, pork and salmon, and yes, they also offered Bulalo. We’ve tried the Shrimp Sinigang and it tastes really good. Feels like you’re eating the dish at your lola’s house. The taste is so Pinoy.

There’s also a Carving section, where they serve lamb, turkey, baby back ribs and beef. They also a got seafood station – there are only few crabs, prawns and mussels that time, but they are fresh – as well as the sushi. We requested for  baked mussels and grilled prawns with butter. The prawns arrived at our table shortly, and was told that the baked mussels will be served in a few, but until we’ve finished our food, that ever requested mussel didn’t arrive. Hahaha. Where did it go? I don’t know.


The dishes are mostly Filipinos, don’t expect much of the international cuisine, I guess they’re trying to promote the Filipino dishes to their guests.  

Since we used the voucher, I asked the staff of the rate.

Lunch 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM | Mon-Sat                  PHP1500
Lunch 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM | Sun                         PHP2500
Dinner 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM | Mon-Sun                 PHP1650

By the way drinks are not included in the rate. Their soda and teas cost Php200++, so we just enjoyed our free drink – water!  The staff are very attentive and always ready to attend to your needs.

The overall experience is ok. It’s kinda pricey for me, but I’m glad that we had this dinner for free as part of our hotel incentive. They are just newly open and I can see some potential, I guess they need more time and need some marketing strategies to improve it and to show the real Conrad.

Again, thank you CWT and Hilton for this dinner.


PS.
I took lotsa photos last Sunday for my blog and trip advisor review. Unfortunately, I have accidentally factory reset my phone. I lost all the pictures. The above photo’s my sister’s, so I’m so sorry if I cant share the beautiful interior of the Hotel etc. Yes, I am blaming myself for being so careless.  

Love,
Ash xx
