Father's Day of 2012 at Seafood Island

I don't know why but week before father's day, I already told Rhea that I had been craving for Seafood Island (Eating on a banana leaves without spoon and fork just Kamayan. Very traditional Filipino. Yummy!).

She said okay, will celebrate father's day at Seafood Island - Makati. Yey!:)

Finally, Father's Day.

After church, we fetched my parents and went to Greenbelt, Makati. Unfortunately, there was no available parking space, so we proceed to Glorietta.

While in Glorietta, we decided that we won't go for Seafood Island instead will go for Dads (because going to Greenbelt will take another 10-15 minutes walk). Taking our chances we went to Dads, Max's then Cabalen, all have waiting guests (As expected since everyone was celebrating Father's Day).

We're already hungry but still want to have Filipino food, we have no choice but to go to Greenbelt (it has plenty of choices of restaurants than Glorietta).  

Seafood Island our first choice. Past 1PM when got there. Thank God, one table was still available (seems that it was waiting for us). There, we were seated around 1:35PM and ordered Kanyaman.  

Two more group guests were seated after us. 

After 3 minutes, our drinks were served, one regular and two bottom less iced tea.

Several minutes later, the battle started between my large and small intestines; large is already winning, so we made follow-ups.

Our mood started to change because every time we made follow-up they will say "Coming na po, pini-prepare na yung sa inyo (We're already preparing your order and will be served in no time)" but still no Kanyaman is coming to us.

Inside of me was already furious (to point that I want to go to the kitchen and yell to everyone "WHERE IS OUR ORDER?!!!!!!", WE SHOULD BE SERVED FIRST!!!) when I saw that they were already serving the food of the two guests (came in after us), but still I remained calm and call the attention of one of the servers. It was Unika/Unica (Supervisor). I calmly asked her why food of the two guests were already served what happen our order? Her face became confused then replied to me that they made their order while waiting. I told her how can that happened since you're the one who seated us. She said sorry and requested to prioritize our order (which they should already do, since they follow first it was first come first-serve basis -- unless they're not).

One alibi I hated most was when Unica told us that they had an Ayala problem because there was no water in the kitchen. She's just making an alibi, obviously, they're serving water to their guests. Anyway, she dealt with Rhea for that reason. 

With several unlikely comments and follow-ups, they received and to make the story short; our food was finally served around 2:41PM.

Kanyaman (Incomplete)

Kare-kare and Sisig were served minutes after.

Honestly, I really lost my appetite and was my first time. I had to put myself together to have my lunch.

At the end, Unica said sorry for the very bad service they provided.

It was a very, very sad experienced for us, especially for my parents, who already are senior citizens to have their lunch around 3PM. We were very disappointed about the service, especially I was craving for their product. :(

Thanks to Kiel for making our day even though we had the worst dinning experience (so far).
He was very playful and entertained us with his smiles...:)
