Tender Lovin' Sunday


The husband, the daughter, the nanny and I went for a little ride around town yesterday. Since we needed to check out something at Ortigas Home Depot, we decided to spend our Sunday in the city. From Alabang, we went straight to Greenhills Shopping Center to go around a bit and have an early lunch. As expected, parking was almost full and shopping area was swarming with Christmas shoppers, good thing we were a little early. The daughter and I waited at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts for the dad to park the car. Grabbed some doughnuts for us while waiting, snowman with red licorice for my chooch, Reese’s peanut butter and chocolate for the big boy, and original glazed for yaya and me. We went around first, checking out the goods, fifteen minutes into it, the dad and daughter started grumbling “we’re hungry, mom” So off to Promenade we went. We wanted to try something new, we saw Tender Bob’s. Well it’s not exactly new, but it was our first time to try it out. Ordered onion rings, baked mussels (you must try this dish of theirs, it's sooo yummy), gambas (not spicy for the little one), beef salpicao (medium-well), rib eye steak (the hubby ordered the 10 oz. “starving” portion, medium-well), mixed veggies, mashed potato with gravy and rice. Meat is local but they were really oh so tender and tasty. We were so stuffed after, we didn’t have anymore room for dessert! Except for the little one, who finished her food and behaved well so she can have her snowman doughnut. Service was good, food’s reasonably-priced and yummy and they even give out balloons for kids. I would go back there anytime.

After our hearty lunch, we went to Ortigas Home Depot for the slates, stayed at my lolo’s house for a while to visit him and my mom (dad and daughter both had Cornetto Ice Cream while daughter was playing on the treadmill), then we went to the Home Depot at the Fort after… just to look around for more construction stuff. So pooped after our little excursion, the little girl was asleep all the way home.
