Brunch at Masseto

By | Celebrations, Foodie | One Comment

We treated Mom on her special day to her favorite meal, breakfast.  It was actually Brunch at Masseto which opens at 11:00 am.  They only have it on Saturdays and we were lucky that Mom’s birthday this year fell on a saturday 🙂

Mom ordered one of each dish on the brunch menu because she wanted to try them all!!  So we shared all of the dishes and we also got to try everything.

I loved the turkey being served to me this way, not overwhelming, just right with all the ride sidings.  It was really really good!

Last Wednesday, we had an early dinner at 5:00 pm!  It was good because if not, we would not have gotten a seat at the new Wee Nam Kee restaurant at Ayala Triangle Gardens which I heard is always full! It is a few restaurants from Golden Spoon, so do not forget to have your dessert after at Golden Spoon 🙂

A few steps away across the street of Goldcoast Marine is Red Prawn.  Thank you to Tita Margarita for treating us on your birthday!! and sharing with us your favorite seafood restaurant!!  

img_1103.JPGimg_1104.JPGimg_1093.JPGimg_1098.JPGimg_1096.JPGimg_1097.jpg

When we arrived and got to the table….a sauce buffet!  First time to see a sauce buffet!  You can make your own sauce combination

This noodle dish looks so plain and it looks so much!  But we finished all that!!

Tita Margarita said that the best sauce for the noodles which you can make form the sauce buffet – Wonsoy, red vinegar, green onions and crab sauce ( from the crab dish )
