Sunrise Buckets

I have always been fascinated about Sunrise Buckets. They surely have one of the most unique and chill ambiance among other Buffalo Wings Restaurant in town.

I'm a huge fan of Wings so this is definitely on my bucket list! Went to their branch in San Juan in Madison Square, Greenhills to satisfy my cravings. (Closed as of 2017)

From the outside of the restaurant, you'll instantly see the surfer theme of the place. I found cute signages which says "Margarita. Freshly Squeezed Lemonade ..." which is so eye-catchy! They really have thought about the interior and decor well and I appreciate that!

They have displayed surfing boards outside. I have been here once during the morning and once in the evening. I love how the vibe gave me a calming feeling as if I was outside the busy streets of Manila. They used warm toned yellow bulb lights. and few neon lights which gave the place a more "chill" approachable vibe.

During The Morning Sunrise Buckets

My boyfriend and I were lucky enough that we went here when there were few customers. Do not go during the peak hours so to have the best experience!

Inside the restaurant you'll see this area. I just had to sit here cause I love looking at the displays they used. I'm not sure if the place is sponsored by Roxy cause most of the products are branded with ROXY logo. Love how the pink painted wall and brick walls matched so well!

Enjoying my Chilled Root Beer!

For the ladies out there, I assure you one thing, this is an instagram haven. Every corner you'll see something worth taking a picture of. Wherever you look at, whatever corner you see you will not regret taking a photo of. This is my favorite spot!
I just loved the all-white wall with hanging frames that gave the place character.

Can I just say every thing you see here has a purpose. It may look fancy but it serves a purpose. They creatively used this bucket as a tissue holder and the stainless steel container for the chicken bones. They even have a cute small container which says "Bone Collector" I just forgot to take a photo of it :)

I felt like I was in La Union! Told my boyfriend that we do not have to go there anymore to feel the tropical "surfing" vibe - so far yet close!

They have a wide range of alcoholic beverages. Not a fan of beers but the boyfriend told me they tasted well and tasted even much better paired with the Buffalo Wings. I also like their milkshakes and root beers!

This is how it looks like at night. I took a lot of details cause they're really the highlight of this place.

Now onto the food! Their food is just as good as how the place looks like. I SWEAR. I will not come back here twice if not for their good food.

CHEESY BEEF POTUINE FRIES P265
Poutine fries loaded up with ground beef, melted cheese, homemade cheese curds and brown gravy

A little expensive maybe? But if I have the chance I will not share it with the boyfie Haha! It's so damn good! I now consider it as one of my comfort foods. The fries is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The cheese in not to overpowering and went well with the gravy!

What I love about here is that the flavour of the Buffalo Wings can also be tasted on the white meat of chicken. Some restaurants only focuses on the outer shell or the chicken skin and neglects the meat part.

I love their Parmesan Garlic the most but it's always out of stock. :( This is my favorite flavor of all time so I really get disappointed whenever they ran out of it. Hoping they can restock more of their best sellers.

I just have to pair it with their Java Rice. I wanted more rice but hell I have to eat all the wings left, tummy got no space.

Boyfie enjoying my Poutine Fries. Hahaha!

Forgot to add that you can ask for gloves so you can munch on your wings neatly. Bawal ang pabebe when you eat here! Haha! Lamon lang besh!

This is a nice place for big reunions and hang outs. The place is very big and can be reserved for private gatherings. If you are looking for a fancy inuman, this is it!

I would also like to commend their good customer service. The servers were very nice and patient with us. Despite asking for a lot of favors from the waiters they always come back with a smile.

By the way they have FREE WIFI so you can automatically upload your beautiful photos to share on social media. Sometimes by using their hashtag you can even get free coffee or drink. They offer promos from time to time too so better follow them on social media!
