We celebrated Keisha's 1st Birthday on Stacy's Capitol Greenstreet last 9th of November 2013. Her actual birthday is November 6, but we decided to make the celebration a few days after.
Initially, we were planning to celebrate in Singapore where we are working/residing. But since all the lolos and lolas requested for us to fly back home to celebrate Keisha's birthday, we happily obliged!
Nevermind, if we already went home 3 times. First for Keisha's baptism, 2nd for my brother's wedding and 3rd for her 2nd operation in the pre-auricular sinus. And we're still going home for Christmas! Quota na! Hehehe but seriously anything for family. :)
I got to know Stacy's from n@w (newlyweds at work), they held a tea party there for the n@wie kids. I loved the place from what I saw from the pictures. We started communicating mid-September 2013 with Angelique, and she is so nice and accommodating. She responds quickly too!
With less than 2 months to prepare, thank God I have my younger sister Mabel tobe the events coordinator help me in the preparations! We communicate so well, she knows what I want, understands what I mean and thank God for whatsapp we survived party planning with flying colors!!!
I love everything about Keisha's party. It's just right. I don't really want to compare it to anybody else's party because each children is unique. And we have different priorities in life, so this is how we decided to celebrate our Keisha's party, what matters is we are happy about it.
Let's look into the details, shall we.
Venue : Stacy's Capitol Greenstreet (https://www.facebook.com/stacys.resto)

I would give Stacy's a perfect score if it weren't for a minor thing that happened during Keisha's Birthday. The aircon was spoilt and the staff could not adjust it to the correct settings! We were already sweating inside. But Angelique was very apologetic, as well as her staff and she even gave me extra dessert to make up for it.
Angelique, the owner as I said were very nice and accommodating. She responds quickly and thoroughly to all my questions. Which is comforting for me, since I could not be there physically to inspect the venue and talk to her.
When I met her, she was very warm and helpful. She was personally taking care of all the details, which I truly appreciate.
I love the party set-up! Even though the veranda is separated from the main dining area, the charm of Stacy's makes up for it. :)
The food is so delicious!!! We availed the full course dinner package, since the party time is 3-6pm.
Grilled Shrimp and Pomelo Salad in Asian Dressing, Pumpkin Soup, Texas BBQ Ribs, Potato Chip Fried Chicken with mushroom gravy, Herbed Cream Dory with Aioli Dip, Spaghetti with Meatballs, Rice, Chocolate Cake slices and 1 round of iced tea.

What a pretty cake!!! Definitely what I expected and more to complement our party theme. But unfortunately I did not get to taste it. According to my sister, it tastes bland. So I would give it only a 9 since I don't really know for sure what it tastes like.

I love milk tea! Honestly, i would say Serenitea is still better but they are expensive. Nevertheless, it's still yummy! :)

The face painter was so good! Giving it a 9.5 because I did not get to try it myself! Hehe. :)

I knew I wanted something different than the usual for the Kids activities. Especially because Stacy's has some space limitations. We cannot do the usual magician entertainment, because somehow it does not suit the venue. So here comes RPC. Not sure how exactly I discovered them, but I'm happy I did. :)
The "Read" set-up was lovely! And the kids enjoyed to "create and play!" Not the usual route, but definitely educational! :)

I discovered Shuttercount ever since Keisha's baptism and we kept getting them for events! Super nice si Ed! In fairness, even my husband agreed that they improved a lot during Keisha's birthday! :) Super value for the money! No problems with them whatsoever, always on time and efficient! :)
Keisha's dress : Yumi's nook child at Heart (https://www.facebook.com/yumisnookfanpage)

I love Keisha's birthday dress, but I wish I could have ordered a more comfortable gown for her. Hahaha! Tiis ganda lang ang peg ni Keisha! The first gown is so puffy, it's so uncomfortable to carry her around.
But I love the 2nd dress, Cath Kidston style! It's beautiful! :)
Souvenirs : Wooden Kiddie Stools (https://www.facebook.com/woodenkiddiestools)
Rating : 10/10
It's a pity that we did not have better pictures of the wooden kiddie stools! Look at them so cute and dainty, even the toy soldier stools!!! Plus I ordered letter standees. :)
I'm so thankful with this supplier that they can accommodate my order at such a short notice. She is a fellow n@wie. :)
