Yesterday was my newest godchild's, christening. Ceremony started 10 AM but due to my responsibilities at work, I couldn't leave the office till 1 PM. It was held at Barbara's Restaurant in Intramuros (Manila).
I came earlier than my friend, so I waited a few minutes by the doorstep of the resto. When he finally appeared, we went together to the second floor where the reception was held. The place was vintage, yet the ambiance was peaceful, and traditionally Spanish-y. We met our friend's girlfriend, Mavie, the mommy of our inaanak. She told us to first leave our things on our seats so we could head onto the buffet table.
Round one : I had some serving of their dry fettucine pasta (So dry that I totally forgot what it was!). There also was their chicken barbecue, unsure if it was named something else, but it's good! It's probably marinated well that the whole chicken absorbed its light sweetness (Up to this time, I could still feel my mouth water!). Pescado de Intramuros (grilled fish -- I don't know) was perfectly paired up with the other viands. It blended so well with the butter-y and slightly sour sauce.
Round two : desserts such as caramelized banana with sesame seeds all over and chocolate topped bread with filling. Caesar salad with 3 dressings to choose from were on the side, too. Still yummy for the overly-late guests!
Regardless if I read not-so-good reviews about this restaurant within the walls, I don't care, it's worth another try!
