Mother and daughter had a rendezvous in Shangrila. We met at past 7 and headed for food. Parehong gutom. She was craving for pasta daw so Balboa it was.
As soon as I walked in, I noticed the similarity of the decor with that of the other restaurants nearby.
I asked the waiter if Balboa has the same owners as the other restaurants in Shang such as Akira, etc.
Same owners of Akira, Sumo-sam, etc. which includes (artista) Marvin Agustin and his partners Raymund Magdaluyo and Ricky Laudico.
Since Oyen was craving for pasta, we both ordered a big plate each.
I had seafood spaghettini
The name obviously was inspired by the movie character Rocky Balboa.
There are Balboa restaurants in New York. Do you think the group of Marvin Agustin got a license from them?
Churros con chocolate, with strawberry and caramel dips.
A————- “Anak you pay. Charge it na lang”.
Kapal ko ano? I think the bill was probably P1,500.
