My husband and I love eating, lalo na kapag EAT-ALL-YOU-CAN. The only eat-all-you-can buffets that we love are Sambokojin and Tong Yang. [We haven't tried Vikings and Niu by Vikings yet, but we will soon attack those places!]
What made us excited to eat there is that Charaptor boasts its eat-all-you-can, grill-your-own barbecue. My husband told me that charcoal grilled food tastes better than the food cooked on a smokeless grill. Honestly, hindi ko alam na may pinag-kaiba pala.
We decided to go to the Charaptor branch in San Antonio Village, Makati. The problem was we didn't know how to commute from our place to San Antonio Village. Mall of Asia is not an option for us because it's quite far!
Fortunately, we were able to to find a way how to get there. The exact address of Charaptor in Makati is 9752 Kamagong Corner Aranga Street, San Antonio, Makati City.
So here's what we did:
1. From our place, we rode an FX going to AYALA.
2. We got off at Ayala Avenue and asked a traffic enforcer how to get to Gil Puyat Intersection. He told us to ride a jeepney. I was so glad that the jeepney driver was very accommodating and he dropped us at Kamagong Street.
3. Kamagong Street is a one-way street. There were tricycle drivers in the area but we decided to walk instead thinking Charaptor was very, very near.
4. Lucky us, we walked for 10-15 minutes (I guess) looking for Aranga Street.
5. After a few minutes of walking, we finally got to Charaptor.
It was 4:45pm when we got there and I was expecting to be seated right away but to my surprise, we had to wait before they open at 5pm. I didn't know that they serve dinner at 5pm!
Amazing.
So we waited.
While waiting, I was able to take some photos from the outside.
They were just fixing the place when we arrived. I could see the buffet table from where I was standing. My first thought was that it was too small for an eat-all-you-can buffet.
At around 5:15, we already got out seats. It was a bit hot and humid that afternoon. Mas okay sana kung gabi kami pumunta, mas malamig nang konti. There were only 5 tables occupied that time.

There are seats upstairs which is good for large groups.
And there are seats outside too.
My husband attacked the buffet table to check out the things that we would be grilling. Note to myself: Never go to a non-aircon restaurant, lalo kung ihawan, when the temperature's hot and the weather's humid.
