Recently, I experienced the wonderful occasion of a wonderful family dinner in Cebu which was also a magical one. The location was placed in the environment of a green nature and colorful flora that was organized in such a way that it transformed an average meal into a once in a lifetime experience. This dinner was not just a satisfying meal to the taste buds but a calming tour on the appeal of nature.
Once we arrived at the restaurant, I was swept by the magic atmosphere. Tropical plants with their vibrant colors and textures were used in numbers in the entry to offer a warm feel. The trees were intertwined with faint glow of fairy lights to add a certain flair to it and made it seem like we were entering a secret garden. The sitting plans were well calculated to create an element of the environment. The wooden tables and chairs that were used to complement the natural theme were prepared using the local materials. The tables were fitted with small potted plants and served a personal touch and made the process of dining to a personal and comfortable experience. I was aware that it will be a memorable night.
The aroma of food hung in the air as we were seated and we got smelled with the aroma of the food. It had a menu which included both the local and international cuisines, which were prepared by utilizing fresh foods, which were procured locally in the local farms. We decided to order many dishes and share them evenly in order to have a taste of it all. We began by taking a cool salad loaded with the flavours of ripe tomatoes, fresh cucumbers and fragrant sweet herbs. Each bite was a song of freshness, which best suited the nature. Next we ate grilled seafood, which was marinated to an appropriate degree and served with a helping of roasted vegetables. The blend of the tastes was spectacular, and we tried each one of the dishes enjoying a sense of the sounds of nature in the environment.
The most extraordinary experience about this dinner was the experience of having dinner in such beautiful atmosphere. As we were dining, we had the peaceful rustle of leaves and the singing of birds. The light breeze was fragrant with flowers and it was a sexual pleasure which enhanced our meal. All the night we had time to appreciate the elements of design that surrounded us. The restaurant had vertical gardens on its wall and this was a beautiful scene of a great variety of various plants that not only made the place beautiful, but also improved the quality of the air. Natural materials as bamboo and recycled wood attracted the concept of sustainability and it was reflected in our values as a family.
As the sun set, and the golden light of day was giving way over the landscape, we told one another stories, and laughed at one another, and made some wonderful recollections with one another. The ambience was perfect to talk and we found ourselves in the line of the moment experiencing the beauty of the food plus the environment. The variety of tastes, stunning views and emotional attachments proved to be a night to remember.
To conclude our meal we got a sample of some of the loveliest as well as delicious desserts. It served the deserts beautifully, fresh fruits, edible flowers, also mentioning the subject of nature. It was the final sweet completing of an excellent night. The Cebu family dinner was not just a meal, but an experience because it helped us to get connected with nature and other individuals. The colorful vegetation and the harmonious setting made our evening magical and added to our delight as a result of the well-designed design. I left full and full of thanks to get back to this magic place. I would highly suggest that every individual should get out to get such experiences where nature and family are merged to create memorable moments.
