Sweet Delight

Despite the odds we encountered on a holiday night e.g. being trapped in horrendous EDSA traffic, & being caught by the ever relentless "vultures" of the city streets ... we arrived in Timog Avenue to where our sweet taste buds got really excited!

Iceberg's never fails to amaze us sweet lovers. Jimmy ordered the Classic Halo-Halo, with all the good ingredients you can think of! Bo and I got to try their Caramel Flan Halo-Halo ... crushed ice, topped with luscious macapuno balls, sweet saba bananas and generous slices of leche flan, plus a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Oh I miss my Mom even more! Abbu and Badz got the Godzilla Grandslammer ... 6 scoops of ice cream (mango, avocado, strawberry, cookies and cream, cheese and ube), loaded with peaches, marshmallows, chocolate wafer sticks and whipped cream. Heaven! Nes had the Strawberry Parfait (I know you can just imagine how it looks like ... and how it tastes too!). Haaay! Dessert mania indeed. T'was worth the trip. :-P

Mother's Day with Friends

Mother's Day came by and went so fast! I can't believe it's been 2 years since the last time I spent that precious day with my Mommy. How time flies! I can vividly recall those moments when Mommy was here. I just miss her. Good thing I was able to celebrate it with my good friends. That night, we had dinner at Big Buddha in Greenbelt 3 Makati ...

Oh yes, we sat down the table, feasting on good food! That included our favorite Lemon Chicken... crispy, breaded chicken breast fillets, smothered with tart yet refreshing lemon sauce. We also had Stir-Fried Beef with Broccoli and Honey-Glazed Pork Ribs plus 2 platters of Yang Chow Fried Rice. That was really filling!

Indeed, I had a great dinner with my friends during Mother's Day. Though my Mommy's on the other side of the world, that night made me realize more that I still have a family here. Better late than never ... Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! :-P
