Lobster and Seafood Shack at Makati Shang

For those of you who are just visiting for the first time, I have to preempt this post with a little story. 

It’s the story of US.

Me and him. 

He and I.

It’s our story. It started quite a few years ago and we have come a long way. We have hit some bumps in the road, but no matter the bumps we know we can always visit where we began. 

We love Makati Shang. Our kids know the story of our beginning. The things we said and did,  and how Nino followed me to New York after that fateful week we spent together. They ask us to tell the stories about that time, they want to sit on the sofa where we sat and stayed up until the wee hours of the morning getting to know one another as young people often do.

I remember the time clearly. It was the time of Alanis Morissette. I was full of angst and was all about intellectual intercourse. I wanted the world to know I wasn’t just another pretty face, but that I had the substance to follow through with a meaningful career as a teacher in the inner city. I had never met anyone like Nino. He was quite serious. We connected on a level that was deeper than most of the boys that I met at that time. He challenged my thought process…and I want to say, that maybe I challenged his as well. I called him out on some of his general statements and the ideals that I shared were those of a bright eyed bushy tailed newly graduated educator ready to move into the inner city and change the world one student at a time.

He wanted to make a difference in the world too. And that’s one of the reasons why I wanted to get to know him even more.

That was many years ago.

Time and circumstance allowed me to live in NY as his wife and a momma to our children for eight years. Together we moved the kids to Manila, because Nino had plans, and he wanted to be near his family.

Ten years in Manila has allowed us the time to visit Makati Shangrila, where our story began, any time we want.

 

Serious Seafood envy going on tonight! So sad I’m missing this but happy that #mommanmanila and family are enjoying this as we speak! You can too by visiting @makatishangrila’s Lobster and Seafood Shack, available on the weekends! #LobsterandSeafoodShack #MakatiShangExperience #MakatiShang #seafood ? by: @mommanmanila

And we wanted to visit Makati Shangrila a couple of weeks ago to try out their NEW Lobster and Seafood Shack with Diego.

We try to take each of our kids out for some one on one time. Truth be told the dates are not as frequent as I would like, but I think that with each of our kids, even the quiet time we spend with each other at home can be quality time as well. Crafting, cooking, watching movies, and even a quick pick up game of basketball can get the family bonding and creating memories that they will look back on fondly when they are much older.

One thing is for sure, Diego really enjoyed himself. Every time he would come back to the table where we were sitting in Circles, he would show me his new selection of savories and treats. He didn’t go as crazy with the chocolate fountain as I thought he would, and he said it was because he was SO full from the STEAK AND LOBSTER.

 

This boy had a blast with @manila.gent and me when we tried out the new #LobsterandSeafoodShack over at @makatishangrila last Saturday. Here he is after he cleaned his plate of Prime Rib getting ready to dig into his #lobsterclaws! #surfandturf #makatishangexperience #seafoodbuffet #makatishangrila #jbirdicusprime #dateyourkids #qualitytime #ilovehim

YES!!!

My boy likes surf and turf. 

When you want a buffet that encompasses a multitude of cuisines and is family friendly, Circles is the place to go.

EVEN MORE SO, when it’s Lobster and Seafood Shack on a Saturday night….

Check out the photos from this #SeafoodFeast!

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.
