Will It Be Too Much If I Posted Another....

Lucky Rainbow Weekend Food Trip Post?

I hope not!  Because seriously, one of my MOST favorite restaurant to date!

Isn't it obvious? 

I've blogged about Lucky Rainbow, Ongpin Branch.

The first time was blogged HERE when I brought less than a year old Kyle Nash.

And guess what?  We celebrated Kyle's 3rd Birthday at their Banawe Branch!

And Makati Folks, did you know they also have a Makati Branch?  Just in case you think Lucky Rainbow is located in Manila only!  Well, that's new found information for you friends!

It was my Dad's Birthday Celebration and really, if you have a dad who uses wheelchair and a son that runs around, big, well-carpeted restaurants with functions rooms are the place to be!  And Lucky Rainbow, Z-Mall Branch fits the bill!

Asado with Honey Sauce

Php200.00

A MUST-TRY!  They're always out-of-stock so try to order as early as possible!  They are extremely juicy and tender and sliced so thinly it made me go crazy!  And who likes the "burnt" "crunchy" portion like I do?

Steamed Suahe

Price depends on kg

I'm a "Dampa" girl so I know if shrimps are fresh or not!  Well, I'm a walking "seafood freshness-tester" because I will get instant allergic reactions to shrimps that aren't fresh!  So far, I didn't need any anti-histamine after taking my first bite!

Kyle's 3rd Birthday at Lucky Rainbow

If we follow my journey as a mom on AskMeMom, you will probably notice I missed mentioning about Kyle's 2nd birthday considering he is my first and only son.  Well, it wasn't because we wanted to make it private, we actually didn't have any celebration for him because Keith's Grandfather passed away a couple of weeks before Kyle's 2nd birthday!  If you are accustomed to Chinese Culture, it is best not to celebrate anything when a close family member passed away.

Now on to the happy story, the 3rd Birthday is finally here!  As much as I wanted to create a big children's party for him, I've decided to go for an intimate "adult" party.  1. Because Kyle Nash doesn't have playmates yet (because he isn't formally schooled yet).  2. Our family is quite small, Kyle's youngest cousin is more than 10 years old!  So technically, the Kiddie party may not be enjoyed my many.

Even with a full-packed schedule, with the help of Mr. AMW, we were able to book a spot at Lucky Chinatown Z Mall, Banawe.  Thanks to Keith's Uncle for helping us book the function room too!

The day finally arrived and looking at the wonderful smile on this little man's face, I knew no matter what our celebration plans are, it will be a memorable one as long as we are complete as a family!

Now, here's my quick review on the food from Lucky Rainbow.  Overall, I am very happy with the service, the location and of course, Z mall has good ample parking spaces so it is also a perfect venue for mini celebrations like this!

We went ahead and told our orders to the restaurant several days before.  We booked 2 tables and everyone came home happy and contented.

Weekend Food Trip at: Lucky Rainbow Restaurant, Ongpin

So, let's put AMW Cooks to rest for today and let's bring back the Weekend Food Trip in a restaurant!

The week was crazy!  Aside from no yaya, which is supposed to be okay, Kyle got really sick and he has full blown cough and cold!  So after making sure he's asleep, I'm finally back to share what we had last week!  It was my dad-in-law's birthday so we've decided to celebrate at Lucky Rainbow!  As you probably heard, Lucky Rainbow first branch is at Downtown Ongpin, then they ventured out to Makati and Banawe area.  The first time we dined there, I wasn't that impressed and I'm glad I gave this restaurant a second try.  This time, it is WAY better and definitely worth to go back again!  P.S. I have my list of dishes to order again!!!

If you are a fan of Tim Ho Wan's pork bun and you just don't have the time and energy to line up at SM Megamall, Lucky Rainbow's Special Egg Yolk Pao may be a good alternative.  I'm not saying this is a dupe but it is something you can taste and you'll definitely forget other pork buns for the moment..in my case, I forgot my name!  Even Kyle LOVES this!

P.S. this is only available at Banawe and Makati branch, since Keith's uncle work there, we get this as special order!

Lucky Rainbow Special Egg Yolk Pao

3pcs for Php88.00

Xiao Long Bao

4pcs for Php98.00

Another must-try!  I find this Xiao Long Bao is comparable to Crystal Jade's and I love how the "soup" was intact upon serve!
