Dinner at Mandarin Tea Garden with Siblings and Hubby

My twin and my other siblings came over here in the city of Davao. My twin wanted to buy laptop, a digital camera and cellphone. She wanted hubby to accompany her with buying the laptop because hubby is a computer engineer and he knows about computer specifications and he already researched which brand is good.

After buying everything she wants to buy, she treat us with a dinner at Mandarin Tea Garden. We ordered supreme siomai which I did not eat because I have an allergy with shrimps. We also ordered pancit guisado, beef ampalaya, beef steak and fish fillet. I was the one who consumed almost all the fish fillet. It's very delicious and guilt-free because I know it's not gonna trigger neither me nor my daughter's allergy plus the fact that it's not laden with so much cholesterol.

We also ordered durian shake, my favorite. My niece had her four season juice and fresh fruit salad. Having able to bond with my siblings is a good feeling especially when we are feasting yummy foods in front of us:).

Beef Brisket Noodle Soup Snack at Mandarin Tea Garden

Is there such thing as hunger intolerance? I think there is and I'm one of those who has no tolerance when hunger pangs strike. Me and hubby attended an assembly yesterday in Bajada area. Free snacks would be served in that assembly but it was already 30 minutes past 3PM and snacks were not yet served because the program perhaps is delayed. I was already very hungry, got an aching head and was really uneasy anymore so we decided to sneak out.

Beef brisket noodle soup, it's about to be finished when I remember I have a camera inside my bag.LOLz

mango shake with sago for me

and this one for hubby...

First thing that comes to mind was Mandarin Tea Garden since it's just near in the area. We went to Mandarin Tea Garden near SSS office and when we arrived there, only few people were inside. That's a good news for us because it means few waiting hours and fast serving for us. Few minutes after the waiter took our orders, he already serve us with beef brisket noodle soup, one for hubby and another one for me, a glass of mango shake sago for me and black forest for hubby. I right away finished off the bowl of noodle soup in a few minutes, a sign that I was indeed hungry, LOLz. I then enjoyed sipping my mango shake which was perfect for an afternoon snack.

Beef Siomai and Beef Brisket at Mandarin

Me and hubby were looking for a notebook yesterday because all we have at home is a desktop PC. I complained to him that I have a hard time surfing and blogging because I still have to go to the other room where the PC is placed. We were canvassing for prices and when it was already lunch time, we would have wanted to eat at Times Square but it was already crowded so we decided to eat at our favorite Mandarin Tea Garden restaurant along Ilustre street. I would have wanted something different but I can't think of any menu that I like. So as usual, we ordered beef brisket rice, beef siomai and mango shake. The supreme siomai which is made of shrimp is more yummy than the one we ordered but since I have an allergy to shrimp, we just settled with the beef siomai.

We had a very yummy lunch and we get out at Mandarin satisfied with a big burp:). Mandarin has branches at SM Mall, Gaisano Mall, Sta. Ana st., near Holy Cross College.
