After grad ceremonies, we headed straight to Alabang for my celebratory lunch. We were opting first to go to Sofitel or Fairmont, but I wanted an intimate celebration with my parents and I'm not sure if eating in Manila can guarantee that (cause people ew). So I chose from the hotels in Alabang (Acacia, Bellevue, Crimson and Vivere). But since I don't like buffets cause I have a light appetite so we ended up with The Nest in Vivere Suites cause they are a menu-restaurant which means we're allowed to take-home what we aren't able to finish.
I love the contrast between my skin tone and the interiors.
The Food
Buffalo Chicken with Bleu Cheese Dip. My dad loved this one that he even asked the waiter to pack-up the remaining dip.
Me and my dad were set on ordering steak. We're HUGE steak fans, from lamb to tenderloin, and even to your household "bistek".
My plate: Loaded potato with Artichoke, corn and mushroom siding.
Dad's: French Fries with Grilled veggies.
Mama's Order: Seafood medley (kebab, potato cake and fish fillet) and adobong kangkong.
Dessert Sampler: Frozen Brazo, Mango Creme Brulee, Red Velvet Cupcake
I'm in love with my graduation dress. Fun fact: My graduation dress is cheaper than my toga rental fee. It's such a steal!!
