We are all living in the same city now, but it still takes 6 months for the three of us to get together. Is it because of hmm-hmm, who always seems to be unavailable because of her mountains of readings, busy doctor-to-be schedule, and frequent trips to her home in the province where she always hides out when her nose is not buried in the said readings. For all I know she spends more time FB-ing than actually reading. [Just kidding, you know I'm very supportive of you right? :D] But it doesn't really matter now because last night the three of us were all there, plus one.
I narrowed down our choices last night to Felix, Thai Patio and Usso (the French-Italian resto with no name) in Greenbelt 5. By unanimous decision, we went Thai, but next time, I want to try Felix and Usso, too.
Thai Patio is no authentic Thai food place but I appreciate that it has a lot of vegetarian choices, always a plus for me. I liked the vegetarian pad thai the most--the noodles are firm, the sauce, sweet with a hint of spiciness, and the marinated tofu and sliced mushrooms (fresh and not canned), very tasty. The stir-fried mixed mushrooms with garlic was also yum, but the vegetarian pineapple fried rice, not really.
Afterwards, we looked for a place to play rock band in GB without success so we proceeded to eat some dessert in Manila Peninsula. We, the girls, all said no to Pen Pals. After all, four people should not be forced to eat 20 scoops of ice cream. We shared the yoghurt ice cream, 99% fat free but still incredibly creamy, and Belgian chocolate fondue. It was so dark in the lobby with all the dim lights that it felt like a mini bonfire.
The sun is always shining in Manila Pen. See you all again soon.
