Luk Yuen, Greenhills Shopping Center, Ortigas Ave., San Juan

Old habits are hard to break.

So every time I go to the Tiangge in Greenhills, 

I always end up eating at Luk Yuen.

This merienda cena was for the February birthday celebrators, Jannette, Malu and Me.

Wennie, a balikbayan from LA is in town so, I thought of having just one get together for the birthday girls and Wennie. But Wennie couldn't make it this afternoon and was at Punta Fuego. 

The other day, I got a call from Maya, our volleyball star player in high school (who is based in Iloilo and is in Manila for a wedding), so, I invited her to the party too.  Maya requested to see her team mates, Bubut and Ufer. When I called Ufer, she said she would bring Meg, another balikbayan from Canada.  What started as a simple birthday get together became a reunion of volleyball teammates, group mates, high school classmates, even dental colleagues.

Thank you ladies for the fun fun fun afternoon. I love you all!!!

Loved the Fuyu Persimmon Field Greens Salad.

Lovely day at the persimmon farm.

Thanks to my dearest sister for the sumptuous lunch.

The farm to table cuisine here at Source is exceptional.

Just thinking out loud...

A lot of new restaurants in Metro Manila have been offering this same type of cuisine. If only these new places in Manila could be more generous with their portions, make simple food presentations and not just be copycats. Hay naku!  It started with the  tonkatsu 'wars', the ramen craze.  Now we have the tapas bars. Hmmmm ...  Meron pang  "farm to table" chever. Then all the bloggers that I follow post the same restaurant review at the same time.  Oh my dear ...
