From Chinese.....to Spanish.....

having just had many sips of Chinese tea and having had no lunch yet, jon, cora and i decided to go to the al fresco area of Trinoma to have lunch at Good Earth, the Chinese restaurant where jon, boyce and i had new year's day lunch. unfortunately, the place was closed and will open again at 6:00 pm.

we had no choice but to look for another restaurant. on our way to Good Earth, we passed by Casa Armas.... since i've had a craving for paella since the time we had our dinner with boyce just before he left for home...... we ended up having our late lunch at this Spanish resto.

the paella and the ox tail estofado were good..... but i'd rather have my ox tail as a kare-kare (one of my favorites!!!). the chorizo appetizer, though, was just like the chorizo de cebu that we sell and that we have cooked for us by ate celia at the meatshop!!!

now, i'm craving for a kare-kare!!! where to find a good kare-kare???? ate celia, where are you??? hehehehehe

Afternoon Tea at Trinoma......

it was fun to do something different from what i usually do everyday for a change. after a late brunch at home at 11:00 am, i went to Trinoma by cab to act as tea master for the launching of Asian Find's Tea Suite.

aside from meeting people...... old friends as well as new..... i had a fill of freshly brewed chinese tea of different kinds...... lovingly and expertly prepared, of course, by..... ME!!! hahahahahaha
