Dedication Party

Went to Hongkong Chef to celebrate my "inaanak"'s Dedication party last Saturday August 6. It's somewhat a baptism if compared to Catholic rites.

Johanna Rachel Salde Dante was born last March 10, 2011. She's already 5 months.

Here's the invitation given to us my Rona when we met at Friday's. Upon arriving at the venue, we were asked of our name and to our surprise there is a table alloted for us. Great planning Rona dear!

 

 

 

Les + John are invited

We arrived before 6PM. While waiting for the party to start, we help ourselves with the Taho and Scramble. There is an available body-painting or face-painting for kids. We could try it out as well, but we didn't dare. There's also a photobooth for everyone.

Then the main event took place we're we dedicate Hanna to the Lord. It's like we are offering Hanna to God so that he will be one who will rule over her. It's not like Baptism, because Baptism is when she can already accept Christ as her Lord and Saviour.

with my Kumare's and Kumpare's

 After the ceremony, food is now served. Food is good, however, we are placed with guys in the table so I can only get limited quantity. Good thing I'm not that hungry due to the Taho and Scramble. 

Food for our table

With John

The party was really a success! We had fun and what's really important is that I'm now Kumare's with my forever mean gel friends.

Lydia's Lechon

The marketing was able to sell the UML device. They were given a budget for the food to celebrate. Aside from the usual food in Amber's (Pancit and Pichi-pichi) there is an additional food from Kanin Club - Technohub (Stuffed Squid, Seafood Kare-Kare) and the highlight is the -- Lydia's Lechon. It was really surprising that there is a Lechon at the office. And it only costs P5800. I was not able to take a pic of the other food but I have a pic of the lechon. And so, I still have my ordered lunch for dinner later.

I never like the skin of the lechon, but this time I tried it and it is so crispy.

Friday's on Wednesday

I was with my "Mean gels" friends last night at SM Mall of Asia. It was hard to choose for a restaurant so we end up at at Friday's.

We ordered Appetizer first then Grilled Chicken and Shrimp, and Chicken and mushroom.The serving is huge but just right for the 3 of us. It costs us P2300+ with drinks.

It was a night of catching up with updates over a good food. Until next Saturday where we will celebrate Baby Hanna's Dedication.

Chiggys

After gym, we went to Chiggy's for late dinner.
We ordered the usual Chicken Inasal (P130) and an extra Jumbo Liempo (P120). I like the Combo Jumbo Liempo much better. Because the one we had last night is grilled.

Not being biased, but I love it! ^-^

Mang Inasal

Just before gym we dine at Mang Inasal. We ordered chicken thigh, chicken breast and Sinigang na Bangus. It costs us exactly P250 (99-chicken and 52-sinigang).

Solo serving of Sinigang.

The sinigang is too sour, we just ate the fish and some veggie.

Nik Nok Manok

We went window shopping at Isetann Manila last Saturday (July 30) and have our merienda at Nik-nok Manok.We ordered the fried chicken and an additional of Turones de Ube for dessert.

Looks like I forgot to take a picture of the chicken. I'm a little sad that there is an available BBQ chicken or grilled chicken. So when the fried chicken arrived I completely forgot to have a picture.

Anyways, I got the pic of the Turones de Ube dessert :)
