Passport To Flavors at StrEATs in Ibis Styles Manila Takes Guests on a Culinary Trip Around Asia
Savor the flavors of Thailand, Vietnam, and South Korea all in one fantastic venue with Passport To Flavors at ibis Styles Manila Araneta City. This exciting promo lets guests go on a thrilling foodie adventure with all the buffet options they can find while also getting the chance to win prizes including free staycations, Accor Plus memberships, and even round trip tickets to three Asian destinations.
StrEATs is the buzzing all-day dining restaurant locates at the fifth floor of ibis Styles Manila Araneta City. They are open daily for breakfast buffet from 6:30am–10:00am. A la carte lunch and dinner is available from 12:00nn to 2:00pm and 6:00pm to 10:00pm on Monday to Thursday while a buffet setup is offered from Friday to Sunday.
Wander the street-food-inspired live cooking stalls at strEATs and be tempted by spicy Asian noodles, fluffy flavorsome rice, succulent meats carved while you wait, authentic Italian pastas and pizzas, fragrant cheeses and fresh-from-the-oven breads.
Each section is dedicated to familiar Asian locations which we all want to travel to like Dotonbori in Osaka, Ximending in Beijing, Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam, and Myeongdong in Seoul.
Ibis Styles Manila invited friends from the media last March 30, 2025 for the official launch of their Passport To Flavors promotion. Here, guests toured around several stations that showed how some favorite Asian dishes are prepared like the Kim Bap from Korea.
Another room showed how Vietnamese Coffee was brewed using a Phin, a small metal drip filter that slowly drips coffee over condensed milk for a rich and thick brew. Media guests also had the chance to prepare their own Vietnamese coffee using the ingredients presented.
The well loved Mango Sticky Rice from Thailand was also featured with guests getting samples of this sweet delicacy.
So how can you join this exciting promotion? Just spend a minimum of P1,500 in a single receipt from either the strEATs a la carte or buffet and earn one raffle entry. The grand raffle draw will be held on June 16, 2025. Three lucky winners will win round-trip tickets to Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh, and Seoul with a 3-day, 2 night stay at Ibis Styles plus an Accor Plus Explorer Membership.
Aside from that, each P1,500 receipt will get you a stamp on your Passport to Flavors which automatically gives you prizes on your 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th stamps including free buffets and an overnight stay with breakfast at Ibis Style Manila Araneta City. Media guests also had a mini raffle and games themselves with ibis Styles awarding prizes to lucky winners.
Guests then had a preview of all the dishes and places you can explore at the strEATs buffet. Buckle up for a delicious trip through the bold and vibrant flavors of Vietnam, Thailand, and South Korea for only P1,599 net per person for lunch and P1,799 net for dinner.
Start with some appetizers like cheese, breads, and Kim Bap, or go for some heavier starters like the Thai Pizza and Tteokbokki or Korean rice cakes.
The Oyster Omelette and Crab Omelette are excellent dishes to try. There's also a Pad Thai station and a Chinese noodle station where you can customize your ingredients.
Another option is the Pad See Ew or Thai Stir Fry Rice Noodle which comes with egg and vegetables.
The Chinese station offers our favorite dimsum like Pork Siomai and Chicken Siomai. Just beside this are some exotic rice dishes like the Kimchi Fried Rice and the Crab Fried Rice.

With Novotel Manila Araneta City and ibis Styles Manila Araneta City General Manager Maria Manlulu Garcia and Food and Beverages Director May Malagamba.
While having an impressive career spanning over three decades across the United States and Southeast Asia, Maria started in a rank-and-file position. With determination and an unyielding work ethic, her ascent through the ranks is a testament to her capabilities, as she transitioned from various roles to become a department head and, subsequently, a key member of executive committees responsible for the opening of six international hotels and the rebranding of three other hotels, showcasing her versatility and innovative approach to hotel operations.
Maria made headlines when she became the first female General Manager of Accor Philippines in 2021. Her appointment came during a challenging period, as she was tasked with leading Novotel Manila through the unprecedented hurdles posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Her ability to merge decisive leadership with a nurturing, empathetic approach has affected not only the hotel's operational success but also the morale and well-being of her staff.
Maria joined Novotel Manila Araneta City in 2015 as Executive Assistant Manager, a role that laid the groundwork for her subsequent promotions. By 2017, she had advanced to the position of Resident Manager, and in 2019, she further elevated her career by becoming the Hotel Manager. In 2021, she was appointed General Manager. Under her stewardship, the hotel has thrived, even launching the newly inaugurated Ibis Styles Manila Araneta City in 2023, further expanding the brand's footprint in the Asia-Pacific Region.
Maria's contributions to the industry have not gone unnoticed. In 2008, while working for Sofitel Philippine Plaza, she received a Mabuhay Award from the Association of Human Resources Managers in the Hospitality Industry, recognizing her exceptional performance in a managerial capacity.
Under her, Novotel Manila received the LISTeN Program Award for 2019 and 2023 as the top hotel for the midscale market in Asia Pacific and all Accor hotels in The Philippines.
More recently, Maria’s brand of leadership has led Novotel Manila to be honored as the Best Food & Beverage (F&B) Performer at the Accor Asia Awards for 2023, highlighting the hotel's commitment to excellence in food and beverage services, particularly its focus on sustainability and innovation—areas that Maria champions fervently.
In recognition of her outstanding contributions to the industry, Maria was awarded the Exemplary Leader Award at Asia's Best Employer Brand Awards for 2024 in Singapore.
Maria's journey exemplifies the impact of compassionate leadership, demonstrating that empathy and decisiveness can coexist to create thriving workplaces and exceptional guest experiences.
I was recently chosen by Accor Plus as their Member Ambassador representing the Philippines! This was really such an honor for me since most of their other ambassadors are from Australia and other Asian cities. As long time Accor Plus members, we always use our 50% dining discounts and complimentary stays to explore the many Accor hotels in the country. When I got promoted to an Accor Plus Gold membership last year, we were so happy with the free room upgrades we received every time we traveled and stayed at Accor hotels throughout Asia Pacific.
That's why I was even more surprised when I got chosen to tell my own Member Stories for the 30th Anniversary of Accor Plus. The shoot and interview was done a few weeks ago at Fairmont and Raffles Makati, another Accor hotel that is very close to my heart. Of course, we also got treated to the lunch buffet at Spectrum Restaurant and even got an overnight stay with breakfast after the photo and video shoot. So here's the video posted on the Accor Plus website. You can also read the full article and video on this link: https://www.accorplus.com/member-stories/kat-lee.
