OUR WEEKEND FOOD TRIP

During weekends that we stay at home and we do not have much to do…just the regular chores and review of my daughter’s lessons, we usually watch movies either on USB or regular cable. And during those times…we do nothing much but EAT! And EAT! And EAT MORE! So it is expected that I stock up on food that we can munch on or sometimes my daughter and I make some sweet desserts (either baked or not) to have our own kinda fun in the kitchen…it’s good therapy really…Of course, it is expected that there will be a lot of mess to clean up afterwards but still it’s a good way to bond and develop camaraderie with my kid! And so this weekend, we bought some chips, fish crackers, Indian mangoes and bananas…we bought this at the local tiangge market then later on we’d be getting more from the grocery store… here’s tp a yummy weekend!

OYSTER BOY DINNER FOR MOTHER’S DAY

We left Cavite at around 4p.m. but thanks to our Aunt who knew her way in this part of the woods, we were able to reach Makati quite early at 5:30. We just helped in unloading some of my dad’s ‘camping gear’ and we got the chocolates pasalubong from my brother and we were off again this time to Cubao to spend Mother’s day with Mama. My brother decided to treat us all to dinner at Oyster Boy in Cubao and it truly was a delightful experience. I have long been a fan of eating oysters ever since our dad introduced us to them when we were young and even brought raw dirty ones that we helped him scrub clean before popping it in a grill and eating just like that - as fresh as can be - yummy!

But what I did not expect was for my kids, my daughter, included to also love oysters as much as my siblings and I do. Imagine that? She will just be turning ten next week and so it’s quite surprising that she’s pretty much into oysters too. I guess it’s the cheese that got her hooked. Well, I am so glad that there’s Oyster Boy, when we were younger, we had to wait when my dad would bring home some oysters from his trips to Cavite or Batangas but now whenever my kids would crave for it, there’s an easy go-to place right in the heart of Cubao. The place was just a bit dim for my liking, it is after all a drinking place and not really a family restaurant but hey, their oysters are great and that’s all that matters! The other food that we ate was also just as great! Here are some of the pics…
