Kung Fu Panda in the House

Aku Poe – that’s what my 7 year old daughter Benz calls her uncle. Randy is the youngest of us 3 siblings, he’s 25, to Benz he’s Kung Fu Panda, the Dragon Warrior !

Benz & I was so excited to be heading out to Glorietta to have dinner with the family. My husband Ben was not feeling well so he begged to stay at home. 

Parking was easy considering that this was the 1^st time I drove to Glorietta by myself, luckily too it was near Mongkok Restaurant where the whole family was having dinner. This was a special night cause we will be meeting Randy’s girl friend April for the 1^st time.

But wait, let me tell you a little something about “the Family”. My family is comprised of my Mom (widowed from a living dad for 25 years, which is another story to read about), me (the eldest & I’m 41), my sister IVY (she’s 30) & our youngest Randy, 25. We are all buffet champions LOL, ooops except our mom, but she can participate mind you.

The restaurant was nice, well lit, not over crowded with tables, and best of all it has a view. We settled down, had our introductions & off to the buffet table. It had all my favorite ! Yangchow fried rice, birthday pancit canton, sweet & sour pork, lemon chicken, salt & pepper squid more more more. I got a little of everything, hey no left overs please. It was scrumptious!

There’s really nothing like Chinese food. It’s like no matter how much you eat, you just can’t have enough. The food was a delight, everything had the right flavor, not too salty, not too sweet. My only remorse was that my tummy just can’t hold so much hahaha. What tortures me was that the kitchen comes up with new rations every now & then. You see the buffet was only a couple of courses, not like the usual train of different dishes. There was just 5 of them. But once it turns empty, they change it into a new dish ! Wow ! Talk about variety. Next was their very own Fried Chicken & beef with broccoli, also a much loved fare.

Benz had a little of pancit, some chicken & mostly dessert. Dessert was chilled mango puree with sago, buchi balls, leche flan & some more sweet stuff. My tummy only had room for some mango sago. Coupled with their bottomless ice tea there was just no more room for anything else. 

The dinner was a success, a happy reunion. The food was great, fulfilling ! The excursion cost us Php0.00, no it wasn’t free but it was Randy’s treat. Although per head it cost Php300.00 less the bottomless ice tea. All in all, it was another happy day for the tummy !
