Asian Finds.....

last monday, while waiting to have lunch with cousin grace at trinoma, jon and i spent some time at nini and rica's store. while there i took pics of some of the store's beautiful, wonderful, and interesting merchandise....





after lunch, we met up with nini, roberta, cora, grace, and miguel at the store. they were re-arranging the display while i clicked away.....

the store's name is "Asian Finds" and they have their main store at the glorietta in makati.....

btw, this is where we picked up most of the things in our chinese teapot collection..... in fact, why don't you drop by and sample the delicious, delightful, and healthy chinese teas they offer.....



who knows, nini (or i) might be there to offer you a freshly-brewed ginseng-oolong tea.....



chinese tea table, P35,000.00..... chinese yixing teapot, P550.00...... yunnan dian hong black tea, P25.00..... ready to drink, puh-er tea freshly prepared by nini, priceless!!!

Turning Japanese....

here are the photos i took during our lunch with cousin grace at haiku at trinoma:

haiku

we had lunch with my cousin who's visiting from baguio. we went to trinoma and ate at haiku, a nice japanese restaurant. we had a little catching up to do because we rarely see each other anymore! and she gave me a key chain that says "DIVA".. hehehe.. i love it!

then we met up with nini, rob, cora and miguel for some tea at nini's shop... and now we're back in the meatshop...me, in the office blogging away.. lynn, at the shop tending to the customers.. back to reality. :)

ps. lynn will post the photos of some of the food and the non-food, meaning the human beings. :)

weekend...

another weekend at nini's means another food-filled and fun-filled time for us! i was actually thinking of the paella we had last week, which i didn't enjoy very much because i wasn't feeling too well from the meds i've been taking. and lo and behold, when dinner came, there was paella!!!

weekend of comfort

we spent the weekend yet again at nini's! surprised? hehehe... more than the sumptuous food that we had, i was actually kind of craving to see them just to talk... about things.. well, i'm not going to elaborate anymore but... let me just say that it is a comfort to be amongst great friends during trying times..

Lunch and Merienda-Cena at Pancake House....

since it was already almost 5:00 pm when we had the chance to eat.... i'd say that my lunch for today was also my afternoon snacks as well as my dinner.... i started with the soup of the day (as per suggestion of nini - so that our stomachs won't be shocked with the sudden influx of food!!!), followed by the grilled pork belly, and topped off with a pecan-walnut banana waffle.... all these gulped down with refillable iced tea....
