A Date With Barbara's...

The visit to Intramuros could not be complete without a visit to the heritage restaurant, Barbara's... 

Amazing colonial charm in this heritage mansion turned restaurant...

Stepping into Barbara's is a lot like stepping back into time...

Guests - both Filipinos and foreigners like me are here to enjoy Pinoy delights...

Crisp table linen and embroidered tablecloth gives the place an amazing feel...

Checking out the buffet, the spicy tomato shrimp sauce looks amazing...

Reflections... of a bygone era when Spanish and local styles blended into a seamless blend that is distinctively Pinoy!

Oh my!

Traditional Pinoy sisig!

I go heavy on the salads and soups...

And light on the mains...

Dessert time!

And heavy again on Pinoy desserts...

And the band sings Happy Birthday for the British lad on the next table as I finish my tea to head back to see the sights of Intramuros!
