I was reading about Cafe Mary Grace in Serendra on Yummy magazine and it mentioned that the cafe’s ensaymada at tsokolate got featured in CNN’s list of 50 foods that define the Philippines. Have you seen this list? Going through it made me so happy I’m born Filipino – the government may be screwed but all the delicious food right at my fingertips make up for it.
Similarly, I’ve always wanted to post about an epic dinner we had as a family a couple of weekends back. My Mama Jasmin and Papa Marcial returned to the country for a short vacation (have you heard of their mega funny langka exchange? Don’t miss it! :lol:) and we had a sort of farewell dinner at Crown Royale Hotel in the city. We got a private KTV room (of course I did not sing, for the love of decency) and just feasted on good food.
There were 16 different plates on our table. I know it is nothing like the world’s 50 most delicious foods but it was just incredible! But honestly, I can tell you that I only ate some mashed potatoes and the grilled prawns. Seeing all the food made my appetite pull back! It’s really crazy but that night was really so much fun for the entire family. I would not trade it for anything. Our photos are hilarious! I’m so glad I was there.
I think these kinds of moments are what make living special. We get to eat good food. We get to be with all the people we love. I mean, what more can you ask right? I might have gained around five months since the beginning of the month but I’m one damn lucky girl. 🙂 Praise God.

it’s like going to the buffet, all of a sudden you are not hungry anymore after looking at all the choices.
so true! 😀
16 all in one meal? Obviously, Nelle and I can’t seem to fathom such an idea.
Har! I love food but why doesn’t it seem to love me back?!
we are a hungry family addie 🙂 what do you mean it does not seem to love you back?
My tummy is not used to keeping so much food. Food doesn’t want to stay in my system. So just imagine my frustration when I am at a buffet restaurant.
i don’t do well on buffets too but even if i can’t eat too much at a time i just go around it by having small but very frequent meals. it makes the cut so i hope it works for you too!
Haha. Hard to imagine myself eating too much at a time. It always small servings for me. What I do, though, is I shy away from rice. And anything sweet.
In short, mabulate lang talaga ako. Yun yun. 😀
no sweets? that’s tough!
Don’t have much of a sweet tooth. Yeah, sucks to be me. 😦
wow. what do you go for then?
Anything seafood. I hoard sashimi on my plate and everybody freaks out.
i guess whatever works for you is fine! but i can’t eat the same thing. it does not go well with my tummy. 😉
What does not go well? Sashimi? With you? Noooooooo. Haha. You’re right, though. Whatever works. So, happy eating! 😀
yes, sashimi and other raw stuff. guess you can’t have it all 🙂 happy eating is so right! i actually went to a food fair last weekend and it was so fun!
This made me hungry. Nyahaha. I am looking forward to a good dinner with family soon, too.
i hope you get that wonderful dinner very soon sheng!
im beginning to think you hate me. you’re killing me! argh! 😀
pasensiya ka na apollo, eating na kasi ang sport ko ngayon eh! 😀
16 all in one meal? 😉
unfortunately yes, nelle. 😆
