Lunch @ Claw Daddy

During our Nuvali trip last Saturday, after fish feeding and boat ride, we had our lunch at Claw Daddy. If you've been reading my blog eversince, you'll know that I'm a seafood person. Crab, shrimp and squid can be part of my everyday meal and I won't get tired of it. Among them, crab is my all time favorite. That's why when the husband asked me where to eat, that restaurant is my first choice without blinking because just checking on their menu makes me drool already.

 Xian while checking on their menu. Ano gusto mo dyan,anak?

To start, we were first served three slices of corn on the cob as their complimentary food.

Try not to dine in here when you're starving already because it took time for our food to be served. Hinuli pa daw kase yung crab eh.lol. But waiting is worth it naman because of their yummy dishes.

Here's what we had for lunch that made our tummy very happy,especially my tummy:

 BBQ Baby Back Ribs

Inay loved their Creamy Mashed Potato.

 Smoked Chicken BBQ

For crab dish, we ordered their Singaporean Chili Crab, that time the Middleweight crabs are not available so we settled for their Heavyweight crabs. Yum! Hello cholesterol :)

 Their version of the famous Singaporean Chili Crab

 

Yummy! The claw itself pa lang, ulam na.

For drinks, we had a pitcher of their Red Iced Tea.

Eating crab is not a messy experience here as they provide each diner with their own bib and a handy bucket right in the middle of the table to throw in cobs of corn and shell. Xian is not happy with the red bib and he didn't want to wear one.

 

We didn't consume them all especially the big serving of the crab since we're so full already,we were able to bring home our leftovers for take out! :)

Nuvali Saturday

We went to Nuvali last weekend since it's my dream (haha!) for Xian to see and experience feeding the famous koi fishes there and try his first boat ride. And eventhough it's a busy week for me because of the February 14 school activity and we still have office schedule last Saturday, buwis buhay akong umabsent and so far I'm still here at may trabaho pa naman ako.hihi.

Although I also love my work but family is still my top priority since weekend is very precious for us nowadays, eto na lang yung time to have some family day out.

Saturday came, Allan, Xian,me and Inay left our house at around 8:30 AM. Good thing that the weather is perfect that  morning kaso we encounter lang some minor glitch with directions after taking the Silangan exit and turn on the wrong route. Instead of turning right sa left kami napunta,well it's my fault since I insist that we turn left according to my instinct. (But my instinct fail that time. Bigla-bigla nang-iiwan sa ere. I was thinking karma ata 'to kase absent ako.di kaya?) Thank God that the husband "sensed" na wala atang pinapatunguhan pagdadrive nya and adding to that,that one person na napagtanungan namin di sya sure kase di daw sya taga-dun. Okay atleast we enjoyed the mini joy ride.

Fast forward na sa kwento,finally we reached Nuvali around 10:00 AM na ata.

Hello there!

Even though I've seen a lot of pictures of the koi,nakaka-starstruck pa din  ang mga isdang orange na 'to sa sobrang dami nila. 

Xian loves feeding them. He giggles everytime there's splashes of water generated by the koi.For the whole fish feeding experience,Allan and Xian bought 7-8 packs of the feeds and I think sa dami ng napakain ni bagets, close na sila ng mga fish. Kawawa lang tingnan mga fish everytime they went crazy fighting over the feeds pero in fairness mukhang masaya naman sila sa ginagawa nila :)

Here's some of my boys fish feeding moments.They're the Team White.lol.

Now here's the Team Violet:

Our day out is incomplete without some family snapshots.

 
After feeding the fish,  what else to do kundi Boat Ride! Allan bought our tickets and reserve the whole boat ride for our group for Php 180. we were assigned boat docking #20 (tama ba yung term?)  and that time nasa #15 pa lang yet Xian already wants to ride the boat. So while waiting for our turn and to entertain Xian, my two boys just engaged in their usual playful self.

daddy,habulin mo ko..

their "huli ka" kissing game.. Btw,can you spot Inay dear, inip na din sa boat ride.hihi.

Finally after 25 years, it's our turn! :)

mahangin talaga sa labas.

 

gusto nya solo lang nya yung upuan

Xian loved it when  the boat entered a tunnel under the bridge. There was also a time when he happily exclaimed "wow,mommy look flamingo!" We were shocked that at his age he already knows that kind of bird.

The water taxi ride took about 10 minutes to go around the lake which the little man enjoyed every minute.Feel na feel nya lang the whole time. With the boat's sudden turn before our boat ride end (pang-finale ba.. haha!) I looked at Xian to see his reaction and he said "mommy,di naman ako scared!"

moment lang..

After our boat ride,we had our lunch at Claw Daddy. I will publish a different post about it next time. For now I'll enjoy the rest of our precious days with my boys. This is our last weekend before Allan's flight.

Happy Weekend everyone!
