Lunch Date With Sister At Greenbelt

My youngest sister and I had wanted to have lunch somewhere in Makati until we got to meet up in Greenbelt one time. Originally, we want to have it on Powerplant Mall since I often go there for client meetings but we always have conflict in our schedule. So when I had to do some business in Greenbelt, I sent her SMS the night before and arranged a date with her. She was running late the day we met up but we were still able to have a quick lunch at Chili’s.

Youngest’s First Birthday Treat

It was my sister’s 21st birthday and for the first time, she decided to treat us to lunch. Instead of having a separate celebration with some of her closest friends, she just invited them to come with us in Marquee Mall that day. In fairness to my sister, she was game in almost every food we are suggesting her to order at T.G.I. Friday’s.

It’s Indeed ‘A Must’ At North Park

I’ve heard a couple of good feedback about North Park but we didn’t have a chance to try the restaurant until Sunday. My sisters have different opinions about their food based on their previous dining experiences but I needed to try them myself. Since we were in Marquee Mall last weekend, I brought my family at North Park. The restaurant was jam-packed with customers when we got there.

Simple Chinese Dinner For Brother’s Birthday

It was my brother’s birthday. My sisters were expecting a treat from him but nothing happened. My mother cooked some special dishes, though. My brother and I had plan of dropping by at the mall after the afternoon mass but there had been some changes in the plan. We failed to attend a mass but we’re able to go to a relative’s wake before heading to the mall, together with Mom. After a quick run in the supermarket, my brother and I decided to try David’s Tea House. We haven’t eaten in the restaurant and both of us wanted to try something new. There are no other restaurants in the mall that we hadn’t eaten yet.

Happy 2012 At Italianni’s

We missed the fun of spending holidays outside last Christmas so for the first day of 2012, my mother agreed to spend it in Marquee Mall. Even if mall hours would start at 12 noon during New Year, we didn’t mind going there early to get a good parking slot. A spacious parking area greeted us when we arrived there 30 minutes before the opening time.

The Return At Tender Bob’s

It was Sunday, a day before my younger sister’s birthday. Since my other sister would be going to work the next day, the birthday celebrant agreed to celebrate her special day that day. She treated us to lunch at Tender Bob’s in SM The Block. We enjoyed our previous experience in the said restaurant so we were quite excited about the idea of going back there.

Long Time No Visit, Pizza Hut

It’s been a while since we last paid Pizza Hut a visit. My mother is actually not a fan of the pizza chain, that’s why it took us months before we decided to go there again. Aside from salad, pizza and pasta, my mother said that the restaurant has only limited selection of foods. Despite her sentiments on the food chain, my younger sister had been trying to convince us to have lunch there. It was only until last Sunday when everybody said yes.

From Cioccolo to T.G.I. Friday’s on Graduation Day

It was past 7 in the evening when we saw my sister and parents walking towards the car from the side of the hotel. It was quite earlier than what we expected. I thought the graduation ceremonies would end before 9. My other sister and I just stayed first in the restaurant then in the car while waiting for them. Inside the Grand Palazzo Royale‘s compound is the Ciccolo Restaurant/Cafe where we stayed for 2 hours. While leeching wifi and working at the same time (I brought my work with me, of course), we ordered for something light since we didn’t want to spoil our dinner celebration. My sister and I shared in their Pistachio Sansrival then had separate drinks. I think I got a raspberry iced tea while my sister had shake.

TLC Dining Experience At Tender Bob’s

We rarely go to QC or Manila just to celebrate the birthday of any member of the family. These past few years, we only went to QC during our birthdays because of the Quiapo Church. My family sees to it that we go to Quiapo Church once in a while. During my brother’s birthday this year, we didn’t go to Quiapo but we still went to the mall for his birthday lunch. For the first time, we went to SM The Block for lunch, in Tender Bob’s specifically.

First T.G.I. Friday’s Lunch For 2011

My brother was still with us this New Year and that’s a good thing for us. Every time he’s here, there’s a greater possibility that he’ll pay for our lunch/dinner or at least share with the expenses. It’s New Year so we went after a quite expensive lunch. If we failed to go to Marquee Mall last Christmas, we made it this time. Italianni’s was still closed early this year so we decided to go for T.G.I. Friday’s. Since my brother will surely contribute with the expenses, we again ordered for something that is quite expensive.
