“Uniting everyone with a common love for good food “
This foodie mom of 4 (collectively called piggery lovingly) is always on the look out for value for money and quality buffet. When your children have bottomless appetites , buffet is the only way to go.
Last Thursday, I was privileged to attend a media launch to this new buffet place in Poblacion Makati.
I’M HOTEL , a 5 STAR HOTEL best known for its humongous 3800 sq meter spa and ONSEN across 6 storeys, recently launched THE COMMON GOOD , a buffet restaurant with 9 dining concepts.
But first why THE COMMON GOOD ?
Per I’M HOTEL –
“THE COMMON GOOD aims to make the common denominator of all guests’ experience good food. Instead of a menu heavy on excessively expensive ingredients, the chef’s aim is to focus on commonly found local and seasonal ingredients, elevating them in a display of true culinary mastery. The result is a delicious, yet accessibly priced menu with the freshest components. The variety of dining concepts and dishes on rotation also ensures that no two visits are the same, yet each time, the quality of cuisine remains consistently high “
Why the tagline THE FOOD PLAYGROUND ?
Per I’M HOTEL –
“It is termed as a food playground to invite guests to indulge and interact with the delectable eats on offer, in the hopes that guests can appreciate one of life’s simple pleasures with a sense of childlike wonder “
There are 9 Dining Concepts. We were served a representative dish for each station sort of like an amuse bouche (if you will) offering us a preview into the chef’s approach to the cuisine.
9 Featured Signature Dishes to Complement the Buffet
PAUL & RANUKA
Green Egg Sandwich
Introductory price of P290+ when ordered ala carte
Hurray for this station! I think this is the first I heard of incorporating healthy dishes in a buffet. Individuals who are in to Vegan, Keto and Paleo lifestyles will be overjoyed to know that a specific station was created just for them.
I loved the creaminess of the avocado , the acidity from the freshly roasted red tomatoes, the salsa verde, the nuttiness of the asparagus spears and the fleshy-sour-saltiness of the black olives. That gluten free sourdough bread is crunchy and chewy which I really enjoyed. It was the perfect platform to showcase that green egg salad creation.
HEALTHY ENZYME DRINK
can be ordered ala carte at its introductory price P300
Similar to kombucha, the organic fruits are fermented so that natural sugars are released along with probiotics.There is no alcohol in it. The drink was quite refreshing and invigorating and matches well with the green egg sandwich
TIFFIN
Roti Paratha (P120+introductory price) and Prawn Masala
(introductory price P320+ when ordered ala carte)
This second dining concept is all about Indian food. One can not get more authentic than an Indian cuisine crafted by a Sri Lankan Chef with some herbs and spices shipped directly from India. If you are not into Indian food but would like a taste of it, this is your perfect introduction to the cuisine.
Roti Paratha
“Roti” means bread and “paratha” or “pratha” means flat in Hindi. It is a flatbread that is crunchy outside and soft inside. It is made by frying stretched dough with ghee or the Indian Clarified butter. Think pancake but flatter and denser.
Prawn Masala
Prawn Masala is a simple Indian Dish with tons of flavor. I tasted all the herbs and spices that is rounded all up by two pieces of succulent prawns that were fresh and sweet and made more scrumptious with that fabulous Masala
AL DENTE
Sisig Pizza (Introductory price P400+ when ordered ala carte)
Italian Rustic Classic with tweaks of Pan-Asian Influences.
Think Lechon Rucolina, Sisig Pizza and Salted Egg Pasta
This is not your ordinary Italian Pizza. What was served was a Turkish flat bread with our very own sisig for toppings. The flat bread was a little dense and heavy for me . The sisig was our familiar iconic dish with cheese and tomato sauce. Think “italianize” sisig with Turkish undertones
PERFECT FOUR
Nasi Lemak (introductory price P290+ when ordered ala carte)
This is a station where guests can choose their own rice combinations. They can take their pick from the proteins, veggies, fiber available to create their perfect bowl. Signature items include Salt and Pepper Pork Ribs, Braised Tofu in Mushrooms and Nasi Lemak
‘Nasi Lemak is a Malay fragrant rice cooked in coconut cream . It is the national dish of Malaysia and is also popular in Singapore, Brunei , Thailand ‘ – wikipedia.
This dish is a complete meal by itself. I love coconut milk so I thoroughly enjoyed its flavor mixed with rice.
PARILLA
Open pit Peri Peri Roasted Chicken (introductory price P280+)
Parilla literally translated means grill. The concept is to serve freshly grilled meat and seafoods. This is heaven for both carnivores and pescatarians.
Amazing how the chicken marinated in South African secret recipe was juicy, moist and flavorful
ONE BOWL WONDER
Ebi Tendon (introductory price P245+ when ordered ala carte)
If you like Japanese food, this is your station. They have classic Japanese Donburi along with Hongkong’s roast meats and rice toppings. One ala carte order of Ebi Tendon comes with 3 pcs of shrimp served o top of Japanese rice,
This dining concept also has ramen and sushi in its roster
EMPRESS JADE
Dimsum Platter (introductory price P400+ when ordered ala carte)
This is your MODERN CHINESE CUISINE STATION. Signature are Prawn Bee Hoon, Hokkien Mee and Dimsum Platter. Loved the made-from-scratch Shumai, Hakaw and seafood bean curd roll.
SUCRE
Honey Thick Toast (introductory price P190+ when ordered ala carte)
SUCRE is the French word for sugar. Sugar makes the world a happy place. Yay! The display alone is enough to make you dance for joy. Those beautiful array of cakes and pastries are picture perfect. I want to take home the whole lot.
Served with mango, banana, hazelnut, ginger and green tea, this Honey Thick Toast was the perfect sweet ending to an incredible 9 dining concept meal. But of course, if you want to explore and eat more dessert, go ahead and enjoy
FOUNTAIN
Guinumis Granita (introductory price of P130+ when ordered ala carte)
Another sweet finale, this guinumis is a famous local dessert made of sago/tapioca coconut cream and panutsa
Note : Signature dishes vary from time to time and are subject to the Chef’s discretion.

Taste, Value for Money, Quality Ingredients, Quantity, Top notch service …. the 5 elements this foodie mom is mindful of in her selection of buffet restaurants for the family were definitely all present at TCG Although I was not able to dive into the buffet selection ( I had to leave early) after the tasting of the 9 signature dishes , the sight of The Common Good’s bountiful and instagrammable Buffet Spread plus the fabulous signature dishes we experienced first hand, were more than enough to convince me to bring my family to TCG in our next buffet adventure. I’M definitely returning with our piggery in tow.
THE COMMON GOOD FOOD PLAYGROUND is located at Level 4 I’M HOTEL Makati Avenue cor Kalayaan Avenue , Makati City
