Going a few days back

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.

 Benz ? Hmmmm she will have a blast with the dessert buffet, but hopefully she would sample some of the western delights, yes – pizza, potato & maybe some paste like always.

This  banquet will commence Benz’s  8^th birthday celebration !
