A bit off topic - Birthday restaurant in Manila?

[JonnieB]

The Filling Station would be a good choice for something different and really it's only about a 20 min taxi ride from the Belmont. It's a bit touristy, but the food is actually pretty good. Hobbit House in Ermita closed permanently about 5 or 6 years ago.

For a fun birthday party with Elvis and Marilyn Monroe, what could be better. I'd call ahead and order a cake from them too and tell them to lay on the party! Shame about the Hobbit House...I guess they all went to the midget boxing show they have just steps from the Filling Station.

Who would want to go to that place!
Exploitation of the worst kind. Plenty of this eg. Kata Beach for other pathetic activities.

Naw..the midget boxing place (Ringside Bar) did not make it through the covid lockdowns. It's closed up also.

Jolly great.
The whole set up is nothing but exploitation of the unfortunates.

Her birthday, her choice.
Candle evening for two and then a big feast after the LoB to Tubbataha.

Absolutely. Don’t get to celebrate 32 years of marriage otherwise

We will be at Crystal Blue, then transferring back to Manila on my wife's birthday for a night at the Belmont Manila before our Tubbataha liveaboard. Been looking but haven't found anything, would like to take my wife and our friends to dinner. Any suggestions? Eat at the Belmont? Not super adventurous with food altho does not necessarily need to be western.

Also further out of left field, anyone ordered a birthday cake in the greater Manila area??

Thanks!

There are a number of restaurants in Newport World Resorts (Resorts World) area. You also have a few 5 star hotels with restaurants if your are looking for fine dining (Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton, Okra, etc). All within easy walking distance from the Belmont. You can get a cake from Mary Grace in the Newport mall.

Mary Grace cakes are decadent

They have a branch at T3 and the food they served is pretty good.
