My Parents' 36th Wedding Anniversary

Last October 14 was a very long day for us. As in buong araw, mula umaga hanggang gabi, wala kami sa bahay.

In the morning, I had my pre-natal checkup at Sta. Rosa Hospital and Medical Center. Then we had late lunch na. Tapos at 4:00pm, diretso na kami sa Ayala Alabang Country Club for the twins' football class.

After the football class, we met with Papa G near ATC (since hubby is still at his clinic) then we went to SM Southmall to buy flowers and stuffed toy for Mama G. 36th wedding anniversary kasi nila eh so kailangan magpa-sweet si Papa G. Hehe.

After that, we went to my parents' house to give the gifts to Mama G and at the same time to pick her up because we are going to have a dinner to celebrate their wedding anniversary.

Here's the picture of Mama G with the surprise of Papa G...

Picture of the sweet couple...

O di ba? Tumi-teenager lang silang dalawa? Hahaha!

Since my brother and his fiance is at VCF Alabang for their engagement seminar and they'll finish at 9:30pm pa, my parents chose to have dinner at RED Kitchen + Bar at Filinvest. Ok ang place ha. May pagkaformal tapos may band pa. =)

Here are what we ordered:

For our appetizer, we ordered Jack Stones (Monterey Jack cheese poppers with marinara dip)...

and Crispy Smashed POS (Fried and pinched marble potatoes)...

For our main course, we ordered:

Chicks and 'Cakes (Two boneless chicken steaks & fluffy buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and anchovy butter)...

This order is for the twins kaya pina-split ko into two. Just imagine 2x niyan ang whole order, ang laki di ba?

Truffle Shitake (Flavorful cream sauce of dark mushroom and truffle)...

My dad and I ordered this. Sana 1 order lang ang kinuha namin kasi ang dami and nakakabusog. I didn't like it that much. Medyo natatabangan kasi ako. Parang may kulang sa lasa eh. Sabi ko nga kay hubby, yung best na truffle pasta na natikman ko is yung sa Maple.

English Fish and Chips (Beer-battered fish and fries with wasabi mayo and lemon)...

Hubby ordered this. Ang laki and dami! Pero, in fairness ha, naubos pa rin ni hubby! Hahaha!

Hanger Bistro Steak (Grilled hanging tender Certified Angus Beef with chimichurri, anchovy butter, mustard and side vegetables)...

My mom ordered this for my brother's fiance.

Surf N' Turf (Combination of U.S. beef tenderloin and tiger prawns with anchovy butter and cherry glaze served with potato and vegetable sandwich)...

My mom ordered 2 of these for her and my brother.

For our desserts, we ordered Truffle Creme Brulee (Rich burnt truffled custard) and Apple Crostata A La Mode (Baked apple croissant tart with vanilla ice cream). Sorry, I forgot na to take pictures of our desserts. Haha!

And of course, our obligatory family picture...

Great food, great ambiance, great music and great company mean that we had a great night at RED Kitchen + Bar! One thing that matters most is that my parents had fun and enjoyed their anniversary celebration with us! =)
