Last Friday, to get our minds off the book release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Gladys and I joined Julie for dinner at a place that was well-reviewed in the newspaper a few days ago -- the Butter Diner at Shopwise Center (what used to be Fiesta Carnival -- yup, that magical place for people who were born in the '70s) in Cubao. And we weren't disappointed! The decor was true to the Americana theme! The service staff were all wearing "diner attire" complete with Elvis and Afro wigs.
The food was rich, fatty and yummy! Relatively cheap yet delicious! Obviously, their specialty was designer butter so we order different flavors of the stuff (ex. salsa cilantro, strawberry and bacon bits) and had bread toasted right at the table (yup, they provided one toaster per table -- cute, di ba?).
We shared crab salad before the main course, of course.
Then I had roasted chicken, Julie had pan-fried fish, and Gladys had potroast.
Since we were already pigging out, Julie and I shared a belgian waffle (and spread the remaining butter on it), while Gladys ordered banana split. Sorry, I didn't get to take pictures of the dessert since I was so full I could hardly get my wallet out of my bag. Hehehe.
Note: After dinner we had a very "pang-matanda" activity -- shopping at the Shopwise Supermarket. Hehehe. Nah, it was also our way of walking off all the calories we ate. Yeah right.
