Hubby's Quarantined Birthday Celebration

My husband wanted to travel for his birthday celebration, unfortunately fully booked na sa birthday niya so we just celebrated at home. I did not imagine that we will experience another quarantined birthday celebration but I have no reason to complain because we can still celebrate even we are confined in our home.

I already blogged about my DIY Graduation preparation and for my husband’s birthday, I also designed his birthday card and cake topper. It was a last-minute project because my husband is working from home so I can’t do it, wala ng surprise kapag nakita niya agad. So when he went out, nagmamadali ako gawin, I wanted to improve the face pa sana kaso he messaged me na pauwi na siya so tinapos ko na agad.

For our food, we just ordered the Mini Celebration Meal P2,088 (Good for 5) at Amici. Last March, I placed my order online but last week, my husband just called to order and he paid on the day that he picked up the food.

You can save PHP1022 if you order this bundle and this includes the following meals:

2 Pizzas (Choice of Tutta Carne, Al Quattro Formaggi, Margherita, Ham & Two Cheese or Chicken Pesto)

1 Grande Pasta (Choice of Carbonara, Prosciutto e Tartufo, Aglio Olio, Garlic Italian Sardine Spaghetti & Pomodoro)

6 pieces of Pollo Arrostito (Composed of 1 Half Chicken and 1 Quarter Chicken)

5 Pieces of Italian Bread

1 Pepsi 1.5L

1 Pint of Gelato (any flavor)

We chose Tutta Carne Pizza, Ham & Two Cheese Pizza, Prosciutto e Tartufo Pasta and Coffee Mudslides Gelato. Spaghetti ai Tesori del Mare is our favorite pasta in Amici but it was not available in the choices so I suggested the Carbonara because we already tried it before but my husband chose the Prosciutto e Tartufo for a change. It is a combination of prosciutto, truffle oil, porcini, and shitake mushrooms. The taste is kinda bland for our taste.

Since we already have a Gusto Privilege Card, my husband ordered additional pizza to take advantage of the card benefits which is Buy 1 Take 1 Pizza. He delivered the pizza to my in-law's place. It was my husband’s birthday, Amici was so generous and gave a complimentary sliced of Caramia Creme Brulee Cake. A classic creamy and baked custard dessert. Four layers of melt-in-your-mouth chiffon cake with a vanilla pastry cream, buttercream filling, and burnt egg custard topping. I liked this cake compared to Caramia Pistaccio Ciocolato.

We still have leftover graduation cake so my husband bought a small cake for his birthday. He bought Light Double Cheesecake at Kumori PHP570. A creamy combination of white chiffon, cream cheese mousse, topped with Japanese cake crumbs, and white chocolate. It is a simple cake but we liked it.
