I invited Kuya Lito to join us for dinner in Summer Palace. He is always busy whenever he’s in the Philippines but it was perfect timing. This is the only night he would be in Manila this week. He flew in from Bacolod yesterday and is flying to Mindoro tomorrow.
Oyen reserved a table ahead of time.
I always put toyo in soups served in Chinese restaurants. Ewan ba, maybe I just got used to doing it.
Cheers to family.
I can’t even remember what we had. Â This one looks like mushrooms.
Summer Palace’s pork siomai do not have extenders. Â The shrimps and the rest of the ingredients are not minced.
Prawn salad hidden underneath a bed of crunchies.
We worry about my brother’s being back to his extremely busy and physically taxing work. Â I don’t know how he can retire. Â By this time he should just be vacationing. He is intensely passionate about his projects and advocacy. He works selflessly to uplift the lives of his employees and their families, many of whom have become affluent. Â He continues to make personal sacrifices and he doesn’t do business to enrich himself. Â He is the most selfless, kind, and generous person I know. Many of the people he had helped and those he continues to support don’t even appreciate it. Â He is investing heavily in helping communities have cheaper electricity.
I asked the waiter to look away kasi baka he didn’t want to get exposed. Â He was funny.
Oyen’s dessert
She’s been eating a lot lately siguro kasi buntis but Edmund baka sya tumaba and her baby.
I was looking for a particular dessert I had eaten here a couple of years ago but I couldn’t remember the name. Kala ko ito pero hindi pala.
Kuya’s dessert.
I wish Nyke were here too.
Oyen’s dogs are always excited to see her. Â The moment they sense she is at the gate, takbuhan na.
When her baby comes out, Â her dogs will no longer be her favorite.
Pearl will be demoted.
