A different Mother's Day experience I did have this May 11, 2014 and that was by "exploring Queen's Filipino culinary restos" (to borrow from friend, Randy A.)
Today, I requested my friend, Jason D. to orient me around the NYU Langone area so I don't get lost on my first day there.
Fortunately, I got to see more of New York when he invited me and another friend for lunch at Tito Rad's Grill in Woodside.
Owner Toti was apologetic since they just moved to a newer, more posh and larger restaurant close by last April 30... and that was just a few days ago and begged for understanding for the adjustment period, which also happened to be in time for a very busy Mother's Day!

| interestingly, the very kind gentleman who took our pictures, Arty C. also happened to be from Cebu... a cousin of our high school classmate ...and a Nurse practitioner (just like Jason) at that! It is indeed a small world! |
We were so full and satisfied... and forgiving for some little things which we would attribute to the very busy adjustment period!
Then, we decided to go to another place... another Filipino dining place!!!
No! We didn't come for the buffet!!!
But we did have this!

ReplyDeleteThe halo2x looks yummy but I think it needs at least a scoop of ice cream.
ReplyDeleteRight! but since we were already so full before going to that place, I sort of forgot to note that and too busy with the pictures that look like my blouse too!
