retreat

taking a chance on temporary un-solitude and jap's advice, my friends and i went out last night for dinner. i was a bit hesitant because i was totally over-budget (at nanglilimahid na ko sa kahirapan Ü).

as per karen's advice, drew picked me up first then we went to karen's. we were in greenbelt in less than 15 minutes. there, we met macky (who was wearing skinny jeans LOL) and kathy (who was wearing (sic) panty na may butones). we then, went around the new greenbelt 5 to look for a place to eat. we looked around and after a survey of the restaurants, we finally settled in La Maison. Actually, nagmakaawa kasi yung host na dun na kami kumain hehehe.

anyway, so after quite a long time it took for us to order (patawa kasi ng patawa si kathy, hindi makausap ng matino hehehe), we finally ordered some gambas for appetizer, "barkada" ribs and seafood alfredo pasta.


and surprise, surprise! after a few minutes, a plate of creamy mussels came to our table together with 3 loaves of rye bread with balsamic vinegar. camon camon! (kathy: OA AMBILIS NAMAN NG ORDER NATIN!) so we cancelled our order.

just kidding.

we were so loud that night and i only realized that we were when i realized there were no background music or anything. so the table next to us would easily hear our ka-jologan talk (HAHAHAHA... TANGENA MO... GAGO... AHAHAHAHA... PAPATAY AKO NG TAO... mga ganitong level ng kaingayan).

so anyway, nagpakabusog naman kami sa tinapay ni binigay samin. sinawsaw pa namin dun sa pagkadami daming sauce ng creamy mussels. then, the appetizer came, then followed by the biggest ribs i've ever seen in my entire life. it was like a lechon platter! right there in front of us was the biggest slab of the softest ribs. haaayyy... and o, the seafood alfredo came as well.

the restaurant is just on their soft opening so there were still quite a lot of things to work on/finish. i appreciate their complimentary dish, which was really a hefty portion. interiors were good too, though i've seen that already. food was really good but still a little too pricey. however, the most commendable thing about La Maison is their staff. Servers were really helpful in the selection of our food and they were really nice. kudos to robie. hehe.


(wait i'm tamad to type everything here na, fast forward)
anne and greg followed and ordered pasta. and since anne knew the manager, another platter of ribs came. waaah.

after dinner, we went to kroc to just relax a bit. they ordered sml but i guess i was sick of it so i just ordered long island. very good and funny conversations followed. we stayed until 2 and called the night (let's call it tonight! mwehehehe)

dumaan pa kami ng coffee nila drew and karen after. we only stayed a few minutes and went home.

thanks kathy, macky, anne, karen, drew, greg for a great night... again.

ciao!
