Being an SAHM has its perks & one of the many is having the luxury of meeting up with good friends over lunch & coffee or tea for three hours tops.
I did just that when I went to see three high school buddies on separate occasions.
The first one was with Gemma & Miriam. We had a chance meeting at Mary Grace Cafe in Serendra Piazza earlier but decided to spend the rest of the day catching up.
Lunch was at nearby Wee Nam Kee,
& we had these delectable dishes to enjoy.

My second meet-up was with a balikbayan barkada, Cleofe, or Paquits to close friends. Since she was staying in her mom's house along Commonwealth Avenue, I suggested the new UP Town Center at the Katipunan area.
We dined at Boon Tong Kee,
where we went halves on these Singaporean dishes.

We were both running late for our next appointments so we passed up on coffee time & took a rain check instead. Hopefully, on her next Manila stop.:)

This is something the male populace can never understand about us :) I'm discovering new restaurants from your blog. Hopefully I'll be able to try Stacey's too.

ReplyDeletebut the downside to eating out is the added poundage. :(
