I had lunch with two officials at Circles, the buffet restaurant of Shangri-La Hotel in Makati. We spent 2 1/2 hours going back and forth from the buffet tables. Not only 4 x but probably 7 x.
We are members of the crab society. No, we don’t pull people down or step on other people’s toes. We just discovered that we are all crazy about crabs. They told me they go to buffets serving crabs and they just eat eat eat until they start feeling dizzy.
There’s no crab today at Circles. They do have something that looks like crab but it had no taste. Walang lasa.
I believe this is my third time here. First was on April 10, 2011 with Aileen, Bong, Edmund, Oyen and Nyke. It was Aileen’s birthday. Second was a few months ago, at the surprise wedding anniversary dinner hosted by Benjie for his wife.
I don’t find the food great. I get super full, but there’s not one dish that makes me say “wow and sarap”. However, I do like their Indian food section, Halo-halo, and the carving (better to have it grilled).
I had 2 of this, halo halo with ube ice cream.
That’s for lunch. And for dinner, I brought Dimple my balikbayan sister in law, my Kuya Lito and Justin for dinner at Cafe Juanita.
Ever since I joined Ramon Dimacali for lunch (with his wife Susan and friend) at Cafe Juanita, I never stopped craving for their Chicharon Bulaklak. One time it was so alat. But tonight was a good night. It tasted so delicious.
Shrimp okoy
Steak a la pobre for Justin
Dimps, wag masyadong seryosohin yang kare-kare.
I had a bit of nostalgia for my himagas. Saging na saba with yelo and gatas. Parang nuong araw na maliit pa ako.
Buko pandan for Justin
Sinigang pala specialty nyo, hindi nyo agad sinabi, sana natikman namin.
See, that’s why I am overweight. Kain dito, kain doon, buffet dito, merienda doon. Yung iba, they lose their appetite when they’re upset about something or kung may problema. Ako naman, kain ng kain pag depressed. Eating is my outlet. It show’s in my stomach, it’s always out, not in. Actually, kahit happy ako, kain pa rin ako ng kain. Matakaw lang talaga.
