Mayura Wagyu Beef Birthday Dinner at Benjamie's

 

More than a month after their birthdays, we celebrated Jr, Benjie and Jamie's birthdays again
at Benjamie's, this time with the whole Fatterside. (See our little advance celebration here.) 

 

 

On the "table cloth" Jamie wrote a brief introduction to Mayura wagyu beef.

Wooden Spoon ♥ ♥ ♥

 

Wooden Spoon in Rockwell is always, always full. And just recently, I discovered why.
Food is very reasonably priced and so delicious!

 

 

And what is Wooden Spoon without wooden spoon chandelier? :)

 

 

We were a big group with big appetite so we ordered 2-3 servings of every dish.

 

Sinigang Lamandagat 

 

 

Bicol Express

 

 

 Binagoongan

 

 

Kare-Kare

 

 

Tostadong Adobo 

 

 

Crab Pancit

 

 

Tortang Talong - this you can skip

 

 

My absolute favorites were:

 

Red and Century Egg Salad with Peanuts 

 

 

Dinakdak na Lechon 

 

 

Dinuguan na Bagnet

 

 

Sigarilyas at Daing

 

 

Fiesta Rice

 

Although food was very good, service left very much to be desired.

It was late but not yet closing, but our waiter was in a hurry to rid of us. Like when I ordered the talong, he was hesitant and told me the eggplant takes very long to cook.

I said I will wait.

I also placed our dessert orders in advance only to be told when I asked for the sweets that the kitchen had closed. GRRRRRRRR. @#$%^&#%!!!!!!

 

Good thing Frances bought this Dirty Harry by Miss Matamis from the Baker's Dozen.
The whole chocolate-caramel loaf was gone in seconds.

 

 

Buti pa this other waiter, he was happy to be of service and even climbed up the table
to take our group photo 

 

 

Love spontaneous Sunday dinners with the Fatterside ♥
