Gumbo: Seafood Feast + Deals + Freebies!

We celebrated my mom's birthday at Gumbo, A Taste of New Orleans located at Megamall Atrium. The night was started with a mass at the Atrium's chapel and ended with a feast.

BUY 1 TAKE 1 

Gumbo's manager had pitched us a deal. We can choose any set of their group meal and our second set is free. It's applicable to all their group meals even if it's the cheapest one. The catch however, is you have to pay for the more expensive set even if you choose the cheaper one as your first and the pricier one as the second.

Seafood Boil (Php 1,325)

Our second set was Seafood Boil, we orginally intended to get the Seafood Feast which was grilled instead of boiled and priced the same as our first set, Family Feast. At my insistance however we got the Boil since it had crabs and I had a slight dislike for grilled Creamdory. 

Family Feast (Php 1,395)

Family Feast was our paid meal, which was clearly for meat lovers inspite of some shrimp and fried creamdory pieces. Succulent and tender Baby Back Ribs, loved the Fried Fish! 

2 ENTREES + 2 MAINS for P999!

Tous Les Jours: Rose Cream Cake

We celebrated my sister's 16th Birthday a few days ago. I think of this as a fateful event. Fateful not only because it's her birthday but also because we met someone we didn't think we would.

Kuya Arnold, who I thought was at BGC. We saw him at White Hat, he was sitting there and browsing with his phone. We were a bit hesitant to approach him but I'm thankful we did.

Since it's her day, my sister decided to eat at Shakey's. I felt that no birthday is complete without cake. So there I was, a stage "ate" who bought cake at her favorite store, Tous Les Jours.

I buy at Tous Les Jours a lot. The cake designs really get my attention. Rather than a boring cake with dedications, I always opt for something that can stand for itself without needing words to say it.
