I thought we were late for yesterday’s party. We arrived just when the party is starting to have its full swing.

The party was Sofia’s 1st birthday celebration. Sofie is my husband’s first cousin’s daughter. I was having second thoughts on this one because the restaurant, Chili’s on Morato Avenue here in Quezon City, has mostly an adult menu.

But I was wrong.

The party was so fun. In fact it was one of the children’s parties that I had a lot of fun.

The foods for the adults were delicious too, steak, corn on the cob, chicken, squid rings, and fried rice. I ate three pieces of the buttered and spiced corn that I didn’t mind if I will have acne after gorging on those. The children enjoyed their pasta and fries as well.

Oh, and there was lechon, a whole roasted pig which didn’t need any sauce for it was soooo tasty. Yes, I ate a bit, just one tiny bit for much as I was tempted to have a plateful for myself, that would definitely not do.

The children and the adults too had a lot of fun watching the magic show featuring sleeping turtle doves, sleeping bunnies and a toy squirrel that they thought was real. The highlight of this was the ventriloquist show featuring Spike, a French bulldog (see picture above) who was so funny they children thought he was real. It doesn’t look like his “handler” was talking for him 😀
