My older brother, Chino, just turned 30 last Monday, January 13. I already posted about the birthday cake that I made for him, now let me share with you what we had for his birthday dinner. :)


Daddy had to go to work so we had Chino's birthday celebration over dinner. And because Daddy was out during the day and got no time to cook, he just had us order some Shakey's pizza and sushi.

I've already shared in a previous post how Shakey's has been my family's favorite and how we would always dine there after my dad's work every time he's on his 2pm-10pm shift. This was when Shakey's still had a branch in Antipolo during my elementary years, unfortunately they got closed after a few years. So whenever we go out weekends, if there's a Shakey's restaurant nearby, we make sure to indulge in our favorites at Shakey's.

So just imagine how delighted we all were when we knew of the new Shakey's Antipolo branch which opened just last December 2010. We already expected a long queue of customers but this did not stop us from giving in to our Shakey's cravings. :p

Jaoey immediately got hold of the menu as soon as we were seated. Here are what he had:

We were on our way home, from a family lunch at Tita Tessa's house last Sunday, when my dad noticed that Jaoey was kinda sad. When asked what seems to be his problem, Jaoey said that he was hungry. And when asked what/where he wanted to eat, he blurted out "Shakey's"!

We were still full from our lunch so we just had a light snack. We had a Basket of Mojos. The breaded potato slices were really mouthwatering. It just had the right amount of saltiness. It also comes with 2 dips, garlic mayo and sour cream.

Basket of Mojos - Php 204

We also had our all-time favorite Thin Crust Manager's Choice pizza. The pizza was a hit for all of us. I love how crispy the crust was. Unlike pan pizzas, you'll surely get to savor the flavorful toppings of thin crust pizzas.

Thin Crust Manager's Choice - Php 440 (Party)

Jaoey had a separate order, a regular thin crust Classic Cheese pizza. He was really hungry that he was able to consume 4 slices! :D

Thin Crust Classic Cheese - Php 121 (Regular)

We also got to avail of the Shakey's Skimmer Hat for Php 35. It also comes with a coupon which entitles the holder a free Regular Hawaian Delight Thin Crust pizza with a minimum purchase of Php 350 on his next visit. Cool! :)

I just had to tell though, the service was very slow! We had to follow up for our orders a couple of times. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed our merienda. Just like what I've said in a previous post, we grew up eating at Shakey's. It is definitely a family favorite!

After hearing mass, we headed to the Sta. Lucia East mall.

We had my dad's and my brother's eyeglasses checked and made about a week ago and we were scheduled to claim it today.

I also got to buy an early birthday gift for Jaoey since he will be turning 8 a few weeks from now.

We were done with claiming the glasses and buying the birthday gift just in time for lunch. After a few minutes of contemplating on where to have lunch, we all agreed to have it at Shakey's.

Shakey's has been one of our family's favorite restaurants. I can still vividly recall how excited I and my siblings get every time my dad is on his 2pm-10pm shift. After his work, he would always bring us to Shakey's, which was just half a minute drive from our house, to have our late night snack.

Here are a few photos of us while waiting for our orders. I only had my camera phone at hand so just bear with me for the not-so-good photos.. ;)

Since we all wanted to get a taste of our all-time favorites at Shakey's, we decided to have one order each of the Shakey's Super Platter. :)

Each platter consists of 2 slices of Hawaiian Pizza, Caesar Salad, Spaghetti, Chick 'n Chips, a slice of Raisin Oatmeal brownie..

and a choice of Chicken and Corn Soup..

or Creamy Mushroom Soup.

And just like the old times, Shakey's still has never failed to satisfy our palates. :)
