Dinner @ Binggoy’s Gourmet with Charina, Jojo, Tita Baby and Kit

My last post said, I will be writing my blog from Davao but I never wrote. I again will apologize since when I am there, I teach which I enjoy and I try to relax with people who mean very much to me. I have learned with the little time that I have spent in Davao, my students and friends have always been there wanting to see and treat me out for a meal, to spend some time just talking about what’s happening in my side of the world. Going back to the subject of the post, before I left for Davao, I had a tremendous brunch with Liane in Apartment 1-B, this must have been my third time to eat here but never this meal time. Guess what? We ordered almost everything in the menu, all I wanted was to taste, their phenomenal scrambled egg white with roasted vegetables which was quite good since it had the right mixture of bland taste and flavor from the veggies, there was a bit of flavor I guess either from the oil they used or from the egg whites, sometimes they store it near food so it can absorb its flavor….also had the steak, which needed a little more salt and that beef savoriness. Of course, had my eggs benedict, this is my comfort food – two poached eggs on top of crusted and soft muffins with just the right amount of hollandaise sauce, ang sarap….I remember when I was 12 years old, I attended my brother’s best friend’s wedding in Mandarin ballroom and this was the main course of their breakfast with Canadian bacon…I was so happy because it was so good and it was the very first time I had it.
Liane and I had a wonderful chat, talking about her grand daughter and new events in her life….talking about my redundant, boring but enriching life….then we browse through the books in Fully Booked and got myself the legendary Italian notebook, Moleskine…sarap sulatan….hehehe…mahal din…..
Having a great meal with good friends are the best things in life, enjoying the food with thoughts and ideas being expressed makes the meal more interesting with laughter and sometimes tears…. I had tons of great meals in Davao, just like the one I had with Liane…dinner in Binggoy’s Gourmet with Charina, Kit, Jojo and Tita Baby; a drinking and calamares spree with Mariel in Music Oone and another in her Banok’s outlet in Torres, having consecutive dinners with the Chef Booboo’s family in Tom Yang and again in Binggoy’s Gourmet to celebrate Dra. Chacha’s birthday….and one of my favorites, pigging out with Catet in Cecil’s eating fresh lumpia, molo soup, cakes and more….enormous food and lots of heart and love expressed….I am getting bigger in size than expected but with a tremendous shower of friends who should complain….
