Food Hall You Can at The Alley

An international street-inspired food hall with various food stalls for an all-you-can-eat buffet experience? Yep, you’ve guessed it right. This unique food hall was conceptualized by none other than the award-winning food retailer The Vikings Group.

Their newest branch in BGC has European-inspired interiors that are instagram-worthy. There are six eating areas, each having their own unique feel.

Last night, The Alley invited us for a unique dining experience where we ordered a la carte dishes from various stations that have their own specialty chefs and kitchens, making each dish served hot and fresh.

Here are some of the food from the 14 stations — you read that right, fourteen! — at The Alley BGC:

Salad bar and cheeses at Antipasto Blvd:

Seafood from O’sean Eleven:

Braised beef and roast turkey, and side dishes from Buono:

Pizzas and pastas from New York Pizza:

Filipino dishes from La Sap and Frituen Batsoy:

Roasts, dimsum and noodle soup from Hao Chi:

Sushi, sashimi, tempura and other Japanese dishes at Yatai:

Other Southeast Asian cuisine at Street Wok:

Sizzling plate dishes and other western food at Lost & Pound and Just Steak A Minute:

Crepes, ice cream, kakanin and other desserts at Hunneycomb:

Everyone’s favorite stall to hang-out in, Kegz for juices, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages:

Street food carts like dirty ice cream, taho, balut roam around for that authentic street food experience:

Bibingka and puto bumbong and fried balls at Ferino’s:

I think I got it all. Whew! How one can try something from all 14 stalls in one night is a wonder to me. Clearly, there’s something for everyone at The Alley.

As a whole, 70% of the experience felt like an all-you-can-eat food court food. It was fun to stroll around and order food from the stations but it gets quite tiring to go all the way to another area for a different dish the 3rd time around. Taste and quality of food was just okay but The Alley definitely wins the variety category.

The other 30% goes to premium offerings like baked oysters, sashimi and roasts but quality-wise, it’s also just so-so. The baked oysters were fresh and has no lansa at all, but the cheese just didn’t taste premium. My husband who tried the roast duck said it tasted more like pigeon and that plum sauce wasn’t available. The sashimis and sushis were actually good and can rival the freshness of that offered from hotel buffets. And oh, the truffle pizza was a notable must-try!

What I particularly enjoyed was the customizable dessert. I had a wonderful time finishing my crepe and ice cream topped with cheesecake whipped cream and popping bobba!

Blogger friends enjoyed their mojitos, margaritas and mugs of beer. Most said this really made The Alley sulit.

At P788 a visit, I think this is something everyone would want to experience.

The Alley by Vikings, BGC is located at C1, Upper Ground Floor, Bonifacio High Street Central, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.
