Let’s
go back a few days back before September 17 shall we.
The
Sunday before that festive Tuesday was Sept. 15. In view of the fact that my
lucky daughter has 2 Grandma ( Ben’s mom & mine), it would only be fitting
to celebrate with both of them but . . . separately.
For
Ben’s side of the family, a rough estimate of people to celebrate with us would
be around 8, in reality thou it should be more than 8 but due to sibling
rivalries of all sorts the supposed number of people celebrating with us would
be fewer by a dozen, good for us huh ? Less costly hahaha I can’t say that I’m
sorry they couldn’t be with us cause I’m not. Basically it would be the 3 of us
+ 8 guests, 3 of which are not entirely sure. Safe to say a table of 10 would
be sufficient.

My
In Laws are Natural born Filipinos, Pampanguenos to be exact. The usual
festivity would mainly comprise of Filipino food & delicacies, Pancit,
Kaldereta, Hilabos na Hipon & kakanin. Kakanin would most probably be sapin
sapin, biko, ube & bibingka. Benz loves kakanin but for this celebration we
would bring them out of their comfort zone & into our delicious zone ! We
are having the Ultimate Buffet !
It’s
a good thing The City Buffet is already here in SM Fairview, this will be
maximum eating pleasure less the traveling difficulty. The buffet will still have their usual native
favorites, but it will also showcase a broader array of Japanese, western &
Chinese cuisine.
Ben & I can eat from all, a little of everything of course
but the sure winner would be (always) the Sea Food dishes.
This banquet will commence Benz’s 8th birthday celebration !
