Birthday Celebration at Orange Bucket

There is always a long weekend during my birthday month so pwede talaga kaming magtravel. However, this year, I did not plan any birthday getaway because I still remember our experience last year when we went to Puerto Galera na inulan lang kami. Weather is unpredictable and I don’t want to take risks so I told myself na kakain na lang kami sa labas. 

I searched for different credit card promos and I found some hotel buffets so I suggested this to my husband pero hindi kami natuloy. Kasi naman bigla nalipat yung holiday so nagbago din schedule ng anak ko sa school. I want to eat during weekdays kasi, bukod sa mura ang rate, feeling ko lang mas konti ang tao. 

My husband suggested some restaurants in Tagaytay but I declined. Hello, nagkaroon nga ng volcanic smog tapos doon pa ko magcecelebrate. Hehehe! So I told him Orange Bucket na lang then IKEA. 

I always see this restaurant on social media but there is no branch in our area so dadayuhin pa talaga. Also my son doesn’t like seafood pero dahil birthday ko naman, ako masusunod. Hehehe! 

So last week, we went to Orange Bucket Newport branch, we arrived before 11AM and there was only one occupied table but most of the tables were reserved so hindi kami makapili ng magandang pwesto.


The staff gave us the menu but we saw the August Special for PHP1999 + SC, it includes the Signature Seafood Bucket, 4 cups of rice and 1 pitcher of blue lemonade so yun na agad inorder namin. My son ordered TOB Buffalo Wings PHP365 + SC. 

The Signature Seafood Bucket includes 500g crab, 400g shrimp, 300g mussels, 300g scallops, 200g potato marble, and 2 pieces of corn. They have The Big Bang, Garlic Butter, Lemon Pepper, and Black Pepper for flavor, but I chose Garlic Butter since hindi ako mahilig sa spicy. 



TOB Buffalo Wings - Fried chicken wings tossed in secret buffalo sauce, served with carrots, celery stick, and blue cheese dip. They served our food after 15 minutes and the feasting began, There were plastic aprons, gloves, and tissues so hindi ka madudumihan kapag kumain.



The food was just okay for us, konti kasi yung garlic butter sauce so hindi ko siya gaano malasahan. My husband and I were not able to finish the seafood bucket so take-out and yung lemonade, pwede din itake-out. Nasobrahan lang sa tamis yung juice. Service is good and we still enjoyed our experience. If ever we go back, I will try the other sauces baka mas okay ang lasa. 

We were done after 30 minutes and we went to IKEA para lang bumili ng sampayan. Hindi kasi pwede for delivery ito kaya hindi ko naisabay sa mga online order ko. It was a quick trip kasi ang dami din tao.


Of course, I bought my birthday cake at Cafe Mary Grace and made my own cake topper. Yes, Happy Birthday to Me!
