The month of August is known as the "Buwan ng Wika", a month where language and culture is celebrated. In schools, activities for this month often include a presentation of native Filipino dances. And a taste of culture and Filipino dances (plus a dinner buffet) is what we got for this trip.
Note: This post will be more about the place than the food
Last 2014, we went to Intramuros, a walled city in Manila, to eat at Barbara's. We bought an online discount voucher for a dinner buffet plus cultural dance show at Barbara's.
We arrived earlier than the buffet start time so that we can hear mass at San Agustin Church. It is the oldest stone church in the Philippines and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Old houses turned into establishments are found along the cobble stone street. Barbara's is one of them. It's just across San Agustin Church.
After enjoying the place, we move on to the dining area, which seems to be the attic of the house.
The buffet choices were simple. Among the choices of viands, pasta, and salad, what I liked best was the pumpkin soup. It was thick and had a hint of sweetness. I had several bowls of that.
A number of cultural dances were performed. Here are some screen shots from the video I took.
Mabuhay!!
