Hello everyone and hello @dswigle, I'm here catching again to be able to submit my #marketfriday entry for this week.
Been so busy these past few days that I failed to carry on with my daily target. I was supposed to write about my #wednesdaywalk, publish another post about my previous travel at #haveyoubeenhere community and participate in the Hunt for the Letter O an alphabet hunt challenge, but unfortunately due to a lot of things that I need to attend to I failed to participate, anyhow I'm glad I still have time for #marketfriday.
So today you will witness another kind of #marketfriday post from @long888. Actually it didn't came into my mind sharing this on #marketfriday but as @dswigle always explain in her comments going to a restaurant and avail and pay for its services can be shared here too. This made me decide to share different things than the usual market posts.
So this happened before covid19. We went to a fine dining restaurant here in Cagayan de Oro for our lunch. It was actually a sponsored lunch by my first daughter's boyfriend who came from the US for a short vacation here in the Philippines.
A little bit about BIGBYS
Actually at first I thought BIGBYS Cafe and Restaurant is an international food company operating around the world just like Subway, Wendy's among others. But I was wrong, in fact, Bigbys cafe concept was first introduced right here in my very own Cagayan de Oro City in 1998.
BIGBY's Concept
The creators of BIGBY's came up with an idea of creating an atmosphere fit for an adventure into the different cuisines of the world.
The interior design and service style aside from the menu were created to position the concept midway between fine dining and fast-casual dining.
15 Branches across Visayas and Mindanao
Today Bigby’s Café and Restaurant has a total of 15 branches and can now be found in major cities in the Visayas and Mindanao and you may check them out if you are in one of those cities:
- Ayala Centrio Mall CDO
- SM City Cagayan de Oro
- SM CDO Downtown Premier
- Ayala Abreeza Mall Davao
- SM City Davao
- Veranza KCC Mall General Santos
- Ayala Center Cebu
- SM City Cebu, Cebu I.T. Park
- SM Seaside City Cebu
- SM City Iloilo
- Festive Walk Mall Iloilo
- Ayala Malls Capitol Central Bacolod
- Robinson’s Place Butuan, and
- Robinson’s Place Valencia
- SM City Mindpro Zamboanga
So it was a whole family affair. I always dream of having a quality family bonding every now and then and really made it a point to at least go out one in a month.
And since Cagayan de Oro has a lot to offer for everyone to enjoy we were able to spend bonding time with the kids including their grandma.
Obviously we had a wonderful dining experience on that day and had visited the restaurant a couple of time after that.
If you will ask me if I would want to go there again? My answer is YES hopefully after this covid19.
That's all for my #MarketFriday post for this week, hope you enjoy the food and see you next Friday.
God bless!
