Eco's Birthday and Then Some

Eco celebrated his special day with us at home last Wednesday. Eco went a bit overboard and ordered quite a lot for such a small group. Two boxes of pizza that were almost untouched, a KFC feast, a couple of chocolate cakes, and Abby's special Filipino spaghetti.

We continued Eco's birthday celebration yesterday at Holiday Inn's Window on the Park.



Apart from his birthday, the couples also celebrated Valentine's,



and we also celebrated Analyn's first job here in Singapore.


Even though it was a particularly busy week for me at work, it was made better by the different fun things that we did.

Abby's Special Day

Since Eli won't be able to join us in Bangkok, Abby decided to treat us out here in Singapore instead to celebrate her birthday.

I just flew back from Manila and since I still have my luggage with me, I decided to go home first and take a quick nap. I urged Clarice to meet me at home also so we can leave together. We ended up being a bit late. When we got there, our table was already overflowing with cereal prawns, satay, Mang Kiko's liempo and lechon manok, calamari and fried rice.













Eco surprised then surprised Abby which was really really sweet.





Here are a couple of group shots:






Happy Birthday again Abby! You don't look a year older.

Abby's Birthday Treat at Churrasco

Last night, we celebrated Abby's birthday by having a Brazilian buffet dinner at Churrasco. The restaurant is located in Katong Village which is a bit far from where we would normally go.

After heading to Eunos, Em-J, Choy and I then had a bit of trouble locating the bus stop since the directions from the web were a bit inaccurate. It took us nearly half an hour before we were able to finally board the elusive bus. After four stops, we then alighted and armed with Google maps, we managed to find the restaurant. By this time, we were already hungry which is a good thing. We prepared to take on the meat feast like we should.

Here's the birthday girl:

The interiors were simple. Feels like walking into a living room that was converted into a big dining space. The place was also a bit warm, probably because the servers walk around with the food and you really don't want to be served with cold meat.

We also tried the Brazilian soda. Don't know what it's called.

I haven't been to a Brazilian restaurant so I don't have a benchmark to compare it with. You walk in and head to the salad bar to fill your plate with salad and carbs (rice, pasta, bread). You then head back to your table and wait for the passadors with the different meat dishes from sausages, fish, chicken bacon, steaks, beef hams and even chicken hearts!

Amongst the many selections, this is the surprise runaway winner of the night. Grilled Pineapple with Brown Sugar Glaze. I nearly skipped it, good thing Ching recommended that Abby try it which got me curious.

Here we are, enjoying the night!

Thanks Abby for the wonder and filling treat! Happy happy birthday!!!
