Back to Manila. Back to Work.
Good thing I have a new favorite restaurant to go to, when I want to escape my life as a corporate slave even for just a short while.
We first tried Samba, the Latin American Restaurant by the poolside of Shangri-La at The Fort to celebrate my birthday. I liked it so much, I have already been back two times since then since they make the Best Tres Leches Cake Ever (and Ady also wanted to eat here for her birthday)!
Hooray for new birthday traditions. |
Chips come free |
The drink menu looks like a treasure map. |
The food menu. I just noticed most of their specialties are seafood. |
The dishes that come highly recommended are the Quinoa Risotto, and the Seafood Rice dish similar to Paella.
The Quinoa Risotto is so yummy, I made my friend order it, even if we came for dessert so I could grab a spoon or two. |
Their version of seafood paella is also good, but it tastes much milder when compared to the quinoa. |
Since I'm a carnivore, we ordered the pulled pork braised for many hours, but I didn't find it outstanding. |
It even comes with Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream, which other people love but I can ignore, since I love the cake. So good with brewed coffee. |
I loved Samba so much, I was back with Carlo for dessert after we went to dinner. But yes, that's quinoa risotto for dessert. |
We had dinner at Samba with the whole family for Ady's birthday.
We also tried the octopus which is excellent. |
The whole fam bam... |
Happy Birthday Shobe and Reen!!! They gave us 2 Tres Leches cakes, one per celebrant. |
Since our favorite dessert came for free, we ordered the dessert with Guyabano and meringue and it was surprisingly very good. |
It comes in a chocolate shell that you're meant to lift and break on the plate... but not quite like this I think. Hahaha. Super WTF shobe!!! |
Voila! This is what happens to the dessert when Sofia happens to it. Hahaha. It was good anyway. |
After 3 visits in less than a month, I don't think I will be back to eat here so soon. But that's the bright side of going back to work. Best Tres Leches Cake walking distance. just saying.
