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.

You can find a variety of Asian street food on the buffet spread. These include Eomuk fish cakes, Tofu Cubes in sweet and sour sauce, Fried Spring Rolls, Pork and Fish Dumplings, and Thai Pandan Chicken.

There are also main dishes you can have together with the fried rice like the Yellow Curry Vegetables, Stir Fry Basil Chicken, and the very delicious Beef Curry.

Aside from all that, you can have these satay skewers grilled fresh on the spot just for you. Choose from Satay Beef, Satay Chicken, Satay Fish, Satay Pork, and Satay Okra.

Beverages are already included in the buffet price so you don't have to worry about getting thirsty. Aside from a selection of juices, coffee, and tea, they also offer Strawberry Granita and Mojito Granita.

Don't forget about desserts because you can also get a delightful taste of Asia with all these different sweets and treats.

The Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu is a unique dessert that you can only find at Passport To Flavors.

Then there's the other Asian delicacies like the Khanom Tako, a Thai pudding with mung bean and panda custard. You can also try the Vietnamese Creme Brûlée, Jackfruit Fritters, Khanom Chan, and the Banana Tart.

There's even a dedicated Mango Sticky Rice cart where you can get your serving prepared by the chef topped with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream.

Passport To Flavors is available from April 1 to June 15, 2025 so you have time to accumulate those stamps and raffles entries to win that trip to Thailand, Vietnam, or South Korea. Thank you ibis Styles Manila Araneta City for inviting us and giving us a head start on our passport.
