Boring Day #Monopoly

Playing time for me and my daughter.

Tami and I are both early riser. I trained her to sleep at 9pm that's why she wokes up around 7am to 8am. 

Before she goes to school almost everyday we play Monopoly while watching cartoons. She knows how to play Monopoly and learned to use the play money. Its also a practice for her in adding big numbers.

Yan ang ginagawa namin pag boring kami pareho. Bonding na rin kasi namin yun :)

Dinner at Boon Tong Kee, Mall of Asia

Date of Visit: September 15, 2012

Last time, my officemate/friend scheduled a dinner night-out with our close friends from work. She treated us because her husband came back from Japan. It was also an opportunity for us to talk about business, our planned business and hopefully it will pushed thru. We came from our previous company (a financial institution) and now four of us are not connected anymore. So its like a reunion for all of us. Eventhough were not officemates now our communication is still there and our friendship remains the same. #Thankful

When we arrived in MOA, wala kaming makitang kainan kasi puno lahat. Payday eh! We can't transfer to San Miguel bay because its raining that time. We settled to Entertainment complex and found Boon Tong Kee located across the Highland Steakhouse near the IMAX theater. It's a Singapore franchise and first in Manila.

In 1979, Mr. Thian Boon Hua started a small stall in Chinatown serving Cantonese chicken rice. Building upon the popularity of his silky white sauce chicken rice and emphasis on quality service, he rallied his family members to establish Boon Tong Kee’s first restaurant at Balestier Road in 1983.

In its second year of operation, the restaurant started to garner rave reviews and accolades from industry luminaries and customers. Before long, outlets at MacPherson Road, Whampoa West, River Valley Road, Cheong Chin Nam Road and East Coast Road followed in rapid succession.

The company diversified its operations in 1999 to include "Zi Char" (home-style cooked food) and eateries. From the traditional Balestier Road outlet to the upscale River Valley branch, Boon Tong Kee has enthralled Singaporeans and tourists alike with its delectable food and friendly staff.

Here's our Dinner. We ordered the restaurant's recommendations:

Deep Fried Stuffed Fritter

Just like Lumpiang Shanghai but bigger in size. 

Poached Chinese Spinach with Assorted Egg

Crispy Bean Curd

Its always been my favorite. This cute nugget-look-a-like with crispy outer part and soft in the inside is really good paired with Wasabi Mayo :)

Chicken Rice for all of us.

Came in pyramid style.

Signature Boiled Chicken

We ordered this because its their signature dish just like Wee Nam Kee's.  Best combined with sauces.

For our drinks (no photo), most of us ordered fresh buko juice while the couple ordered Barley and lemonade.

My friends

Its been good catching up with friends over food. Watcha think?

Our table location is outside the restaurant and its perfect while watching the fireworks. Kaya lang when the fireworks started people kept coming in and stayed at the railings. In short, our table was surrounded with people watching fireworks. Kainis dba? Buti na lang tapos na kaming kumain that time kasi mawawalan ka ng gana. Nevertheless, our dinner was fantastic.

Thanks to Jhoy and Moks for the free dinner.

Celebration of Papa's 60th Birthday

September 7 was the actual birthday of my FIL but since it falls on a weekday, we moved the celebration the next day (Saturday). We had a simple celebration with only relatives and a few church friends as the celebrant's guests.

The party started at 5.30PM onwards and in time for dinner. Would you believe that i was late? hehe. I arrived past 7pm and i didn't have the chance to take some photos before the party started. Buti na lang may photos si Juvy, my sister-in-law. The celebrant had a blast, he was so happy that most of his siblings were present. Wala lang yung mga nasa America.

Here are some of the photos from the celebration:

The Food:

Papa with his siblings and our family.

Happy 60th Birthday Pa! We were lucky to have you for being supportive and generous to all of us especially to your apos. Wag namang sobra at lamalaking spoiled ang mga kids. hehe
