Dining Review Travel

Crimson Sunday Brunch

Summer time is all about slowing down for us.

During the school year, I’m sure to keep everyone on a tight schedule so that homework gets done, sports events are attended, and dinner gets on the table. That also means that we can make time Sunday lunch or dinner with the extended family, but 9 times out of 10 we are hurrying out to go home, prepare book bags, and do the last minute homework for the Monday that follows.

But summer? Summer is made for slower meals and a more relaxed pace. Summer is made for SUNDAY Brunches, where you can sit and take your time. Sundays in the summer are made for mimosas and bloody mary’s to be sipped while watching the kids play.

Crimson Sunday Brunch is super convenient for us because it’s right down the road. It’s easy to get to and has a ton of things to do for the kids. We decided to check out the brunch buffet last week as a family and we were all pleasantly surprised at just how easy it is for all of us to enjoy our meal.

Just the two of us....I mean six of us....

Just the two of us….I mean six of us….

Sometimes, yaya has the weekend off so that she can spend time with her own family. When Gelli was smaller (and not a toddler tornado) I wouldn’t even mind the days off that yaya had. But Gelli is older now, moves around a lot, gets bored easily, and is a little picky with her food. So…when it is just the six of us going out to eat, I make sure that we eat in a place that is kid friendly, and safe for Gelli to explore with her siblings if she chooses to walk around after she is done eating.

First thing you do is measure your kids when you register.

First thing you do when you arrive at Cafe 8 is measure your kids when you register.

Kids under 4 feet are free and kids under 4 1/2 feet are fifty percent off. 

When you sign your kids in, they get a bracelet. Keep this bracelet on for the whole day. It will be very important later on.

Each month will have a different partner and will be announced prior to the raffle. Winners will win guest accommodations for their family of four simply by availing of #CrimsonSundayBrunch Buffet.

Kiddos can feel right at home playing amongst the balloons...

What kid doesn’t like a floor full of balloons??

So while the kids are playing, or watching a movie, or drawing and coloring, you can eat. You can enjoy delicious freshly baked ham.

Nino says that a Brunch Buffet is NOT a Brunch Buffet unless there is lots of cold seafood. I’m happy to say that this buffet passed his test 🙂 SEE all the SEAFOOD???

In between my different plates of food (and cheese) I would check on Gelli.

Because everything was set up for the kids, it made it easy for me to sit and relax and enjoy my food. If you are a momma, you KNOW what that means, because it is far and few in between when you get to SIT, RELAX, and ENJOY your food….

So I made time for dessert. 

The buffet has an abundance of different desserts that you can enjoy while the kiddos are entertaining themselves. One of my favorites was the chocolate lava cake. (OMG.) It was so good that I forgot to take a photo of it. It is baked on the spot and covered in a vanilla cream sauce, served warm of course.

What did I like most about the Sunday Brunch Buffet?

  • It is convenient, close to home, and clean.
  • There are choices for me AND choices for my kids.
  • There is an abundance of seafood. (SEE food? Eat it!)
  • There are fun treats for kids and kids at heart.
  • There are coloring pages, with WASHABLE markers.
  • There is a movie playing for the kids to enjoy.
  • There is a choice…we could have brunch with or without alcohol.

BUT WAIT. THERE IS MORE.

This is the one thing that will differentiate #CrimsonSundayBrunchBuffet from every other Brunch Buffet you are aware of.

Kids can bring their swimsuits.

When you enjoy the brunch buffet with the kids, you are automatically entitled to an afternoon swim in the Crimson pool. You just need to let your kids keep that bracelet that they were given earlier in the day on. Bring your swimsuits and cool off from the summer heat, here…  

Kids can swim after enjoying the movie, activities, and brunch buffet for FREE.

 Good food. Safe play. AND cooling off in the summer heat?

SUNDAY BRUNCH PERFECTION.

      Aw. Dad-we had a wonderful childhood. I think back to those times when we were kids and we were all together, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
