Jimboi turned another year older and since we are feeling a little Sam&Piolo-ish we decided to celebrate the night with a buffet dinner in Spiral at Sofitel. (Goodluck to my midyear resolution!) It was unfortunate though that my head decided to ache so I couldn't enjoy the evening as much as I would want to.
Anyway, since it was a buffet, food was aplenty! I almost got full just by looking at the selection! I coudn't decide what to eat!!! Pig out itu kahit pa masakit ang ulo! Labo-labo na to, lamon kung lamon na parang wala ng bukas! :P
I started with a Korean soup (I don't speak Korean so I don't know how to pronounce what it's called much more to spell it. Pasensya naman!). I liked it so much I consumed 2 bowls. haha. Then Jimboi asked me to try this Chinese soup which he says his mom always cooks for them. I was about to eat the herb thingie that looks like a bark of a tree but Jimboi told me not to. He said it's there to add flavor and has a medicinal property (to cure what, I'll never know) but you're not supposed to eat it. The soup was good but not as great as the Korean one.
Next I stuffed myself with seafood! I got three oysters, two prawns and a crab. Then I got a grilled prawn and some Salmon Teriyaki which I liked much so I got a second serving. hihihi. I also got a small portion of a grilled fish, I don't know what it is called and I didn't bother knowing, I didn't like it.
Then I sampled meat. A little lamb chops, some roasted chicken and peking duck, a portion of meat in red wine sauce, a little piece of grilled meat that I don't know what is but liked, and a bacon wrapped asparagus which I didn't like. Whew! I took some leafy greens and a bundle of buttered asparagus too! But I didn't take any rice save for the two piece california maki.
When I first saw th
e dessert bar, I was ecstatic! I kept thinking what I'd have, thinking if I'd have a little bit of everything! lol But by the time I finished my meal, yes I still have room for desert that's not the problem, I didn't have the urge to eat sweets anymore because my head was killing me. I wanna cry! All I could manage to have was fresh fruits and a little halo-halo! :(
So I rested for awhile. I looked stupid slumped on the table when everyon
e else was busy eating and drinking, but oh well. Then when I was feeling a little better, I decided to walk around and take pictures. When I got back, I sat, and then Jimboi went (I thought then for a few more dessert). But when he got back, imagine my surprise when he got me this.
It's not my birthday but his and I get to have a cake? Weird but sweet! He said he just wanted to thank me for being there and for celebrating his birthday with him. I was touched and kilig and all.
Too bad my "real"gift didn't make it in time, but I think it will be worth it. My "not real" gift was a big automatic golf umbrella which I said he should put in the car because rainy season is just around the corner. Not sweet, I know, but that's not the real gift remember!
We got another surprise after the dinner. When the bill arrived, we were given a 15% discount just for being fabulous! :) Great, right? :) So try Spiral out! :) The food was excellent and the service was great!
(Plugging again!)
After that we hung out by the pool area (where I slept for about an hour in the lounge chair! haha), then we took some pictures. We were supposed to watch a movie but I was already feeling a big ball in my head so we just headed home.
Then I gave him my second gift (which still isn't the "real" gift by the way) and it was a nice way to cap the night.
Naisip kong gawan si Jimboi ng mini treasure hunt of sort dahil mahilig naman sya sa mga ganun. Ang laman ng box? Singsing? Yan din ang inaasahan kong maging hula ni Jimboi nung ibigay ko sa kanya yan.
