Prime Time: Prime Rib and More at New World Makati Hotel's Cafe 1228

From the day's freshest seafood catch to savory Prime Rib, New World Makati Hotel welcomes diners back with a sumptuous buffet spread at Cafe 1228...

The best-selling Book & Buy promotion at Cafe 1228 of New World Makati Hotel is extended until April for memorable post Easter get-togethers with a mouthwatering selection from the day's ocean harvest to savory specialties from the Carving Station including Prime Rib. From Fridays to Sundays, guests can enjoy the lavish buffet spread for lunch and dinner for only P 1,455 net for some of the best buffet deals in the metro. Let's take a closer look at the weekend offerings from Cafe 1228...

Previously, New World Makati Hotel joined its owning company, Rosewood Hotel Group, in a worldwide sales event participated in by more than 30 hotels and resorts under the renowned hospitality brand. The Global Sales Week highlighted exciting new experiences at the property that will be available to guests in the coming months to further drive both domestic and international tourism after the pandemic. Guests for Global Sales Week were given a unique invitation replicating the iconic sphere installations of the lobby made of chocolate. Packed with a wooden mallet, simply crack the chocolate spheres to scan the QR Code detailing the various room packages for families, exciting dining offers and fuss-free event planning services showcasing the property's impressive facilities.      

Dining becomes yet another memorable layer to the New World Makati Hotel experience, and Cafe 1228 fires up its live interactive stations with its sumptuous offerings to tempt your palate and fill your plate...

...with fresh sushi and sashimi...

...to Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura fresh off the deep-fryer at the Japanese Station. And you can come back for seconds. 

Fresh seafood is definitely one of the attractions at Cafe 1228 with its bountiful ocean harvest on ice including succulent crabs...

...plump mussels and shrimps which you can enjoy as is or prepared in a variety of ways, just ask the station chefs for their recommendations (for more on the sumptuous seafood offerings of Cafe 1228, see my previous posts, The Day's Freshest Catch at New World Makati Hotel's Cafe 1228 from 2019 and Sunday Lunch at Your Own Pace at Cafe 1228, One Plate and Bowl at a Time... from 2018).

Or you can just leave it to the Station Chef to surprise you with a dish using the seafood you picked...  

...like this Seafood Noodle Soup loaded with shrimps, fish balls and mussels. Fresh and clean flavors with each sip and bite, a hearty bowl of noodles prepared a la minute and served at its flavorful peak is just one of many tempting options at Cafe 1228. 

Then, there's the Prime Rib...

...carved and grilled to your preference. Mushroom Gravy or Peppercorn Sauce? Customize your own plate with your choice of sauces and sides including roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes.

I requested for a thicker slab of Prime Rib, with its seared and crisp crust and juicy pink center. The bold savory notes of the Prime Rib just drapes the palate with an indulgent beefy richness, kicked up by the equally rich Mushroom Gravy. Have it sliced thin or thick, it's your call. The Prime Rib alone is enough reason to book a table at Cafe 1228. Pair your feast with the Beer & Wine Special Deal of Cafe 1228 (P 588 net) for free-flowing local beer, red and white wine. 

Don't forget to try the other savory offerings from the Carving Station as well as the other live stations of Cafe 1228. It's easy to navigate the streamlined layout of Cafe 1228, with all the stations just a few steps from the other.   

For dessert, Cafe 1228 offers an equally impressive selection from cakes and pastries to do-it-yourself Halo-Halo and Homemade Ice Cream. Or go for the sweet Crepes prepared as you order paired with fruits, almonds, chocolate and why not some of that Homemade Ice Cream?

A soft Crepe filled with almonds and chocolate sauce topped with Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream and Chocolate Chips becomes the ultimate chocolate fix to cap your feast at Cafe 1228.
