I love Silly
People’s Improv Theater (SPIT Manila)! I always tell my friends that I had
one of the best nights of my life when I watched them last year. I never
laughed so hard and I thought I would die from laughing. And so when I saw
their post on Facebook that their first show
in 2015 will be at Puñta along Shaw Boulevard, I began to spam my friends.
Sadly, people were busy then. I was too. But I badly needed a laugh.
Hello, Puñta Manila!

Please do
not ask me to pronounce the name of the restaurant for you. It sounds like you’re
cursing when you say the name but I guess this is a creative gimmick of the
establishment’s owner, Paolo Bediones. People would love to keep saying the
name as it’s something different. But Bediones claims that the name was derived
from an expression of surprise or delight and not from a “bad word”. Anyway, I
will still not say it. >.<
The place
was packed that night so it was a good thing that I reserved seats. We were
supposed to be a group of four but two had to back out. So I had an extra chair
for my bag. Woohoo.
It was
difficult to order since all of the dishes I wanted to try were unavailable
that night. I think I tried to order over 7 dishes and yes, ALL WERE
UNAVAILABLE. I’m not so sure if it was because business was super good or if
they only keep limited supply to lessen throw away cost.
We ended up
ordering the following: Pollo Tirada Tortillas
(PHP285) and Quesos Quesadillas
(PHP275). (I wanted to order more but it was difficult as almost everything I
wanted were not available. *frustrating!* )
Service was
slow. It took Puñta over 45 minutes to serve our food. The food was served a
few minutes after the show started which was past 9 p.m. and we arrived around
8:15 p.m.! Good thing we weren’t that hungry.
