More Food Adventures: Tatay's Simple Birthday Dinner

Shop at More Food Adventures

It's Tatay's birthday. If you guessed it right, then you may perhaps be reading my blogs through the years. If not, it's ok. But for us, today is a very important day. We usually have simple dinners at home with all home cooked favorites of my father plus the lechon and some sweets which we usually order to add to what we have already prepared.

For Tatay's 65th, we decided to just go to a simple dinner at a restaurant so my mother doesn't have to prepared anything anymore, given that all of us are busy and no househelp to help her. We decided to have it at Philtown since it is just a stone's throw away from where I work. Plus, the Pansit Guisado is very good here.

The Beef was also good, and it was tender too. Tatay loves this very much. It's his favorite here.

For a healthier choice, we opted for the fish dish.

And fried chicken for the kids..

Of course, our usual, easy to decide upon and easy to grab Lechon.. This came with Dinuguan but we didn't have it served since it was just too much already. We reserved it for the beach, which we plan to do tomorrow.

Of course, for dessert, we had Leche Flan, River's favorite, and Tatay's too..

We also had Opera cake, after Tatay blew his candles and made his wishes..

While we were eating, we had entertainment courtesy of Lili.. Tatay enjoyed her exclusive Violin performance, it made him smile all throughout the evening..

Good that we were able to get the board room at such a very short notice. It is usually used for meetings and whatnots at the restaurant. For such a small party of less than twenty, we all enjoyed our simple dinner.

Happy Birthday Tatay.. We love you to the moon and back..
