Happy Birthday at TGIFridays

Despite a rainy Tuesday in Manila caused by the tropical storm "Helen", hubby and I still pursued to have a little date to celebrate his 32nd birthday. Mom and Daphne were of course originally included in the plan but it would be safer to just let the little one stay at home to avoid the sickness causing weather. Since we missed going to the North, we put a lot of effort just to get to Trinoma, plus the shoes that I promised as a birthday present is kind of hard to find so we had to search all the stores that cater the product.

It was almost 3pm when we were finally exhausted and hungry so when I saw TGIFridays, I didn't have second thoughts and scurried in. Good thing the restaurant has a lot of seats available.

Their ambiance has been proven to set a distinction, I feel so American for a while. Here, I don't really mind eating my food with some group of people enjoying their beers even at late noon.

Notice the waiter behind me? For years, they have been consistently wearing cute head gears paired with black pants and that striped red and white shirt. Sometimes they also wear silly costumes. By the way, I also want to share this candy pink lipstick I'm wearing from M&Co. That's a cheap haul during the SM North EDSA sale event.. I really like it!

For appetizers, we chose their traditional Buffalo Wings, marinated in spicy sauce with a few carrot sticks. The cheese dressing is perfect! 6pcs costs Php295.

Since I'm used to ordering Cajun Chicken and Shrimp pasta, I tried to experiment this time with the rice meals. My main dish was Mushroom Chicken and Mushroom - I love the melted mozzarella cheese on it . The rice serving is almost good for two which I wasn't really expecting because I only chose the small order for Php395.

Look at this humongous plate! Hubby chose Jack Daniel's Chicken and Shrimp (Php565). That's a juicy fire-grilled chicken breasts in sweet glaze plus the Cajun-spiced fried shrimp. The shrimp was really tasteful although hubby didn't quite like the sweet sauce for the chicken. (The menu should have a brief description, I think.)

I was really laughing at this huge plate. It's almost the size of his body width! Nevertheless, it was a fun dining experience in Fridays (as I normally call it) with these generous servings. Best of all, we get to celebrate his birthday together even on a working day.

Happy birthday, Daddy! Thank you for being the sweetest father to Daphne and a thoughtful husband to me. Let's not look at the calendars starting today, alright?

( He didn't really want a photo taken kasi he's wearing the same shirt daw ^^ )

Much Love from your Wifey,
