Bong invited his San Sebastian high school friend Danny and his wife Tere to have merienda with us. Danny picked the restaurant called Cutting Board Filipino GAstro Pub in Northwest Las Vegas. Medyo it’s farther away from Summerlin but it’s only 3 minutes away from Danny’s residence.
Kaya talagang magkaka sipon at ubo ako rito sa Las Vegas kasi init at lamig. It was chilly on the first 5 days of my stay. Then hot, cold, hot. When it’s hot outside, it’s super cold naman inside establishments. Last night naman it was so windy. The wind was howling kala ko merong twister. Today naman eh ang init.
The place is nice and spacious.
We suspected that this decor were from another restaurant that occupied this place prior to Cutting Board.
Len and I spotted the bibingka souffle and we both agreed we’re having that.
Special kamayan package
Bong said we’re here for merienda not for heavy lunch.
I was so hungry I couldn’t wait for Danny and Tere to arrive so I ordered appetizer muna, lumpia.
Danny works at the post office. He delivers letters and parcels to the houses of wealthy and famous celebrities in Vegas such as Andre Agassi and wife Steffi Graf, David Copperfield, etc. I think that’s a cool job don’t you think?
Tere ordered beef steak and white rice. Hindi pa sya nagtanghalian.
Len ordered paella. Kala ko merienda lang. Hapunan na namin ito.
My sister and I split this bibingka souffle with kesong puti and salted egg on the side.
They served it while we were still eating the paella kaya medyo lumubog na yung alsa nya.
I also ordered turon. I told Bong to pay for our food kasi nakakahiya kung si Danny ang magbabayad kasi ang takaw namin ni Aileen.
I was so full from the lumpia, beef steak (naki tikim rin kami), seafood paella, turon and souffle. Everything that we ordered tasted good including the beef steak.
From Cutting Board, we went back straight to the place we’re staying at. I thought of going to the Anthropologie store inside the Fashion Mall but since I was really feeling sick, we just stayed put.
We were all tired and till full so we no longer went out to eat dinner.
Around midnight, texts were coming in from Bong’s Lex Talionis’ brads asking if he’s okay. Yun pala something tragic happened that night at The Strip.
My children were also worried about me.
Actually even if I stayed at The Strip that night, I would be safe from harm’s way because when I am at The Strip, I usually walk only around the Bellagio fountain and Paris Hotel. I don’t venture around Mandalay Bay.
And even if Len, Bong and I went to have dinner that night at the Strip. we would already be back by 10 pm.
