Valentine's Dinner :: Shangrila Hotel
Feb. 14th, 2006 12:59 pmOriginally, I was planning on spending Valentine's day with me, myself and I (or maybe me, myself and the computer). However, as luck would have it, my uncle invited us out to dinner with his current 'girlfriend' in EDSA Shangrila.
I was *stuffed* full.
There were 20 interactive menus. What is an interactive menu? Remember whenever you check into a hotel and at breakfast you tell them what kind of eggs you like? soft boiled, hard boiled, omellete (with your choice of cheese, pepper, ham, bacon, tomato, onion?) Well it was something like that. My sister and I ended up tasting only HALF of the menu before we became so full we couldn't move.
The interactive menus were:
CHINESE area:
1) Risotto
2) Siu Mai
ITALIAN area:
3) Pizza
4) I'm forgetting a station in the italian/american area because I didn't have time to eat there...
FILIPINO food:
5) Lechon (kind of ordinary...)
MEXICAN:
6) Ham (that you placed in something that looked like a quesidilia)
JAPANESE:
7) Sushi bar
8) Noodles bar (we never did get to ask the chef to make us noodles/soup, we were too full by teh time we noticed it.
9) Lobster/ Shrimp / Oyster Bar
GENERAL AREA:
10) Fresh fruit Shakes/Bar (another ordinary place)
11) Salad
DESSERT:
12) Crepes
13) Halo-halo
14) Sherbet
At least I think it's sherbet. They take three scoops of ice cream (either vanilla, chocolate or strawberry base) and then you choose a fruit or CANDY and they MASH it all together) then they top it off with a chocolate bar. URGGG
15) Chocolate fountain (the curlprit why we COULDN't EAT anything else)
I'm missing the five other areas that I didn't have time to look at.
BONUS: since it's valentine's day, when you order their extra expensive drink you get a stuffed toy. (THat's a bear lodged in a heart)
Half of their food is molded in hearts. (yes, even their sushi, was heart shaped) and half of the desserts had chocolate hearts on them... there was an entire SHELF full of desserts. The shelf was taller than me!
The waiters/waitresses had glitter tattoos on their faces because it was Valentine's day.
They were giving away long stemmed red roses to the women and chocolates to the men (for everyone who eats there) and a 40% discount card in Rustan's shopping mall.
AND a lot of people were wearing PRETTY dresses. Haha.
We should eat out on special occasions more.
