Food Overload and Tea

Last Saturday, I met with my younger set of buddies(Nursing batchmates) despite the gloomy weather. Soon as we were complete in attendance, one immediate agenda was made- EAT real food with rice!!! Oh yes, we were hungry monkeys. I was curious with a particular ihawan place in San Matias, my former students described the leche flan there as fantastic if not the best.

 There's quite a number of "ningnangans' that sprouted in Sto Tomas that's why I call it the Ningnangan Capital Of Pampanga.Remember the word Funnside if you wish to try this recent food trip I had. It is what makes the difference. The place is not your ordinary grilling place, yung basta na lang sya sumulpot at tinayo. I have this impression the management gave aesthetic consideration serious thoughts. Maaliwalas the surroundings,the wash and toilet areas are clean enough and best of all, the usok is not horrible that you'd book for shampoo and conditioner soon as you go exit.

Happy bellies.

 Be patient though in waiting for the food to arrive on your table. I think it took us 20 minutes before we munched the real meal. Poor leche flan, it became the appetizer.:) We ordered liempo,chicken ass,liver,hotdogs and lotsa rice plus regular Coke. Who mentioned diet?:)

 Thank you very much to the one who shouldered the bill. Guess who was it. Definitely it's not Mitzi.

Ube with cheese & the 2nd leche flan.:)

I mentioned the leche flan in the beginning statement. And yes, we can all agree it is delicious in the true meaning of the word. It melts so smoothly in your mouth, its creaminess and sweetness are within perfection. We had to have another whole serving of it, this time in its proper designation as dessert. The ube topped with cheese is just as yummy. Hay,aerobics dance with Richard Simmons for weight loss failed.

 Soon as our brains were informed our tummies are bondat and full as sapul, Harry suggested a cup of tea to ward off the heaviness of our GI system.

 Food is love and happiness. It tastes even better when accompanied with friends that have passed the test of times and turns. I do not get to be with these young RNs on a regular basis that is why I excitedly welcome every chance of meet-ups with them.  We miss our other friends, most of them live across the sea now.

 Until the next celebration of PASSED exams,so who's next???:)
