Because Kap is (ma)K(unat), I am allowed to splurge on food only when there are special occasions. Like birthdays. Or anniversaries. But he still gives me a certain budget & I’m not allowed to go overboard. So for their 4 past succeeding birthdays, I made sure to make reservations at hotels with buffets because I know it’s the only time I can get away with it.
So far out of 3, I was happy with the outcome of only 1, and that was Kap’s birthday celebration at Market Cafe. The last 2 sucked big time (Read HERE & HERE). And because we didn’t have the best dinner with the 2 girls’ celebrations, I braced myself for a mediocre dinner as well for my babyson’s 16th birthday celebration last night at SEVEN CORNERS, CROWNE PLAZA GALLERIA.

For 1.8k/person, I was happy with the steak & seafood offerings on a weekday. The prime rib was succulent & tender. The seafood fresh & aplenty. The romantic ambience was definitely a big factor too. I gave myself a mental pat in the back for choosing this resto to celebrate my babyson’s birthday. He’s very simple & low-key, doesn’t ask for much. So I was very glad that our dinner celebration turned out so well because I know he doesn’t want a week-long celebration like his sisters.
Corner 2. Japanese/Sushi Station.
Corner 3. Salad Station.
Corner 4. Make your own Noodle Soup station. I was too full to try this. But my tablemates were quite happy with their individual choices.
Corner 5. Carving Station. Aside from Prime Rib they also had a Leg of Lamb, Lechon, and other meat varieties.
And boy did I fall in love with their prime rib! It was so tender & juicy. None of that tough, chewy stuff in the past 2 hotel buffets we ate in.
Corner 6. Make your own Pasta & Pizza Stations. I really love how you are free to choose what you want in mostly every station at Seven Corners! <3
Corner 7. Dessert Station. With coldstone-type ice cream! Just look at that BIG smile! <3
Cheese & Bread Station.
May your life be filled with love & happiness all around. :-* Happy sweet 16 my babyson! <3

Hi Jane,![🙂](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f642.svg)
Happy Birthday to your favorite son!
Please don’t be sad when you feel na he’s neglecting you. Sometimes, sons are like that, they want to explore more outside of their comfort zone. It’s their pa-binata past time lang. Please remember, you and your husband raised him well, nurtured him with love and with attention galore pa from his sisters! He knows that you’ll be there for him no matter what. Please know this – His Dad is his first and greatest “idol” , his Mom is his one and forever “love”
So, don’t be sad.
Salalamat nga pala for your buffet posts and with pictures pa!

November 29, 2013 at 2:34 pmMs. Jane, it’s really a pleasure to see how much time you spend to make your family happy. And it shows how much they love and appreciate you. I’m a fan of your family blog. I do hope my kids grow up to love me as much as your kids love you![🙂](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f642.svg)
November 29, 2013 at 3:35 pmHi Jackie!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your support. I’m sure your kids think the world of you too. We moms just gotta love them as much as we can, for as long as we can. Pretty soon they’ll outgrow their need for their mommies so we have to make every minute count. ![🙂](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f642.svg)
