Lunch at Garden by the Bay

It's a beautiful Sunday and we woke up very late because there's no work. After few minutes of taking our breakfast, Papa invited us for a lunch in a restaurant inside Garden by the Bay. It's just near to where we live and we brought with us Keona's swim suit so that she can just swim in case she wants to because there's a swimming pool inside the resort.

We arrive at around 11:30 in the morning and only few people were there. Papa right away ordered our food - fried rice, chicken barbecue for Troy, lechon kawali, kinilaw, mongolian spare ribs and plain rice for me, Keona and mama. We can't eat fried rice because there's egg on it and we are having an allergy to eggs and chicken.

Few minutes, we waited our order and we roam around the place. I like the place because it's not crowded. There are a number of cottages for people who are bringing foods with them. But if you don't have foods, you can just order from the restaurant like what we did. A lot of children are having fun at the pool, swimming.

Some photos of the place...

Garden by the bay is a great place to relax and unwind because you feel the gentle breeze against your skin since it's located along the seashore. You also get to enjoy the spectacular view of Samal island and the colorful boats that went to and fro fetching beach goers to the beautiful beaches and resorts in the nearby Samal island. I hope you have a great weekend friends:).

Beef Siomai and Beef Brisket at Mandarin

Me and hubby were looking for a notebook yesterday because all we have at home is a desktop PC. I complained to him that I have a hard time surfing and blogging because I still have to go to the other room where the PC is placed. We were canvassing for prices and when it was already lunch time, we would have wanted to eat at Times Square but it was already crowded so we decided to eat at our favorite Mandarin Tea Garden restaurant along Ilustre street. I would have wanted something different but I can't think of any menu that I like. So as usual, we ordered beef brisket rice, beef siomai and mango shake. The supreme siomai which is made of shrimp is more yummy than the one we ordered but since I have an allergy to shrimp, we just settled with the beef siomai.

We had a very yummy lunch and we get out at Mandarin satisfied with a big burp:). Mandarin has branches at SM Mall, Gaisano Mall, Sta. Ana st., near Holy Cross College.

They also cater and accept functions for weddings, birthdays, etc. They have a space upstairs. We were rally stuffed when we got out of Tita D's:).

Greenhills Buffet

We were celebrating the feast of the Immaculate Conception yesterday. After attending the mass at the San Pedro Cathedral, me and hubby went to Greenhills Buffet for our lunch. When we arrived there, we right away looked at the display of foods and hubby asked me if it's OK, I said yes because I like the food they serve. There's pork curry. There were seafood like fish, shells, and my favorite crab. And there were fruits on the dessert table aside from the sweets. So I told hubby that we'd push through with our plan of having a lunch buffet there.

Here are photos of it:


The entrance of Greenhills Buffet. They charge Php128.00 exclusive of drinks.


Dessert table - an array of fruits like banana, papaya, pineapple, watermelon, green mango. There are a number of sweet delicacies also. I just don't know the name but they are delicious.

Our empty plates. No leftovers or else, they will charge us 150 pesos.

Display of their foods are good. There were rice - fried and plain rice, you just have to choose. There were around 12 viands including chicken, pork, seafood delicacies. There was also a chicken soup. Greenhills buffet is located at Camus Street. Just at the back of GS mall, near Apo View Hotel. Hubby had 4 trips to the food display table. I had only two. And I told hubby not to add anymore or he'll overeat. We went out at Greenhills Buffet feeling bloated for we were very full. LOL
