Lunch Rendezvous with Hubby

Another lunch rendezvous with hubby to our usual lunch meeting place, North Park. We often meet here due to the sheer accessibility of it to both our offices. An hour’s lunch break is put to good use here. Just enough time to walk there, order, eat, chat, have dessert and walk back to the office all compressed in one hour.

This time, we decided to have some salted shrimps. A straightforward dish with just prawns fried with some flour coating. I don’t think anybody can screw up this recipe. So, it was good. Highly overpriced at P240 for just seven pieces of shrimps. Overpriced but good nonetheless.



We also ordered some Vinegared Tofu. Fried tofu with vinegar, he he he. The vinegar has some sugar and shallots in it. Nice also.



Hubby also ordered Yang Chow fried rice as opposed to plain rice as an extra treat. Good and very filling. Their serving is good for three. We had some leftover which we will eat for dinner later :-)



For dessert, hubby indulged in Black & White Jelly with Tropical Fruits. Very refreshing on such a hot day.



I used part of my week’s quota for sweets with the Mango Tapioca. Mango puree with milk and some tapioca balls. Refreshing and just sweet enough. The mango puree was good. Almost as good as my mango ice candy recipe. The mango was a bit sour but hubby finished everything anyway :-)

Quickie with Hubby

Hubby called me this morning and asked for a quickie. Quickie lunch! You dirty minded reader :-)

There's a nearby North Park restaurant within walking distance from both our offices and decided to meet there. Since we're both sawa from the usual fare from the nearby canteens and lunch ladies, we thought that a scenery change would be nice for both of us.

For our one-hour lunch, we ordered, three kinds of mushrooms with broccoli leaves. Shitake, buttton and wood ear mushrooms sauteed in oyster sauce and poured on top of steamed broccoli leaves. Healthy yet satisfying.



We also ordered the Stir fried Lapu-lapu, which is actually fried lapu-lapu fillet with a soy-ginger sauce.



We also tried their Hakaw, or steamed shrimp dumplings with dipping sauce of I think oyster sauce, soy sauce and some sugar.



The mushrooms and lapu-lapu were both pleasers. The hakaw is the weirdest hakaw that I've ever tasted. I wouldn't recommed it.

I would however, recommend a quickie with your hubby :-)...................quickie lunch, no!
