Weekend Eats: The Sunday Lunch Delights at The Nostalgia Dining Lounge

A relaxing Sunday weekend just got a whole lot better...at The Nostalgia Dining Lounge.

The Nostalgia Dining Lounge at Oakwood Premier Joy-Nostalg Center Manila now offers a sumptuous Sunday Lunch Buffet to end the weekend on a high note, serving a wide array of dishes for a Sunday family treat. Read on and have a virtual taste of the Sunday Lunch Buffet at The Nostalgia Dining Lounge...

The cozy and intimate yet elegant interiors of The Nostalgia Dining Lounge at Oakwood Premier Joy-Nostalg Center Manila is the perfect spot for a casual and leisurely Sunday lunch. Aimed at families after mid-morning mass, the Sunday Lunch Buffet at The Nostalgia Dining Lounge adds a tasty spin to family time. 

And why not. When you can have everyone in the family together for just one day in a busy week, that's enough reason to celebrate with a lavish Sunday Buffet Lunch at The Nostalgia Dining Lounge. At the central buffet station, guests can enjoy a selection of freshly-baked savory treats, tasty starters before the mains. 

At the Salad Station, load up on a variety of garden-fresh greens with a wide selection of dressings and vinaigrette or enjoy some of The Nostalgia Dining Lounge's prepared salads (L) including the Waldorf Salad, Tomato and Mozzarella, and Tofu with Grilled Eggplant along with a comforting bowl of creamy Corn Chowder (R).

Indulge with a plate loaded with premium gourmet cheeses, and come back for more. It is, after all, a Sunday. So put your diet on hold.

Diners can also enjoy freshly-cooked pasta hot off the pan and prepared a la minute...

...at The Nostalgia Dining Lounge's Pasta Station. There's just nothing quite like a comforting plate of pasta fresh from the pan with the rich notes at its flavorful peak. And having your pasta dish prepared to your own specs and preferences is easy at The Nostalgia Dining Lounge.

Simply choose your pasta, your sauce and fresh ingredients, and leave it to the station chef to create your very own customized pasta dish. A rustic and traditional red or rich and creamy white sauce? Your call. Or better yet, why not have both?

For the mains, the savory selection served that day included Lamb Caldereta (L) and Philly Cheese Steak (R)...

...the Chicken Roulade (L) and lightly crisp Lemon Chicken (R)...

...and the Baby Back Ribs with a sweet and smoky glaze. There's something for everyone, and the wide selection at The Nostalgia Dining Lounge adds a celebratory vibe to a Sunday lunch with family and friends.

Craving for fresh seafood? The Nostalgia Dining Lounge's got that covered too. The Grilled Salmon (L) with lemon and capers and the Buttered Shrimps (R) with garlic are tasty options not to be missed.

Pair your mains with a side of The Nostalgia Dining Lounge's Buttered Vegetables and Grilled Vegetables drizzled with Balsamic Dressing (L) to complete your meal. And the kids have their own selection too, including cheese-stuffed Hot Dogs, creamy Mac & Cheese, deep-fried Fish Sticks and Chicken Nuggets (R).

A hearty Paella topped with fresh seafood, chicken and vegetables recreates the familiar flavors of countless family celebrations, and you can find it here at The Nostalgia Dining Lounge. Soft, moist and bursting with the rich notes absorbed from the various ingredients and toppings, a second round with the Paella is always the right move. 

In between plates, go for some crisp and crunchy Pork Cracklings (L) before a second round of savory mains. Care to try something different? Try the unique crispy Fish Skin Cracklings (R) for a refreshing change.

And here's the beef...

At the Carving Station, the impressive US Angus Ribeye takes centerstage, slow-roasted for hours until fork-tender, with each bite releasing bold beefy flavors. Crusted with herbs, the flavors of the beef are infused with even more layers of rich flavors.   

Go for a thick and hefty slab paired with grilled vegetables with a side of mushroom sauce. Perfect.

Have another plate with yet another slice of pure beef flavors just for good measure...

...and maybe just one more plate of Grilled Salmon and Buttered Shrimps, yes?

But save room for dessert. The Nostalgia Dining Lounge's equally extensive dessert selection that day included the tempting Cheesecake (L) topped with fresh fruits and white chocolate shards to an indulgent array of Eclairs (R)... 

...soft, moist, chewy and fudgy Brownies (L) capped with dark chocolate shards and the decadent Chocolate Mousse (R) topped with berries served in shot glasses were just some of the sinful offerings served that day.

Cookies and Cream? Yes, please. Sundays just doesn't get any better than this.
