Two nights ago, my mom picked me up right after my last class in UP and then we had dinner with her friend together with my dad at this fancy Chinese restaurant called Summer Palace in EDSA Shangri-la. It’s been months since I had fancy Chinese food. I’ve often said that Chinese cuisine is top of my list and the experience two nights ago simply served as an expensive affirmation.
Last night, on the other hand, I went to Abe Restaurant in Serendra. It was Ivan who invited Renz and me to the first anniversary treat of Abe Restaurant. The place was packed. A choral group from Pampanga was present to sing to the crowd. The emcee however spoke entirely in Kapampangan, which I didn’t understand.
Traffic last night was terrible, it took me two hours to drive from Congressional Avenue in Quezon City to Fort Bonifacio, Taguig. When I got to the place, I immediately headed off to the buffet table and took in everything. The adobong kimaru kamaru (crickets cooked adobo-style) was surprisingly delectable, I was eating half a plateful of it, even before I was told they were real crickets.
The famous priest-turned-Pampanga Governor Ed Panlilio was one of the event’s guests. I was coaxed to have a picture with him, after having written an entry about the governor some weeks ago.
It was also, actually, my first time in Serendra and Bonifacio High Street. Ivan, Renz and I had some donuts at Krispy Kreme before heading home.

Glad you enjoyed the food. There’s more in Pampanga! Hehe!

libre naman eh kaya ayos lang
Ayos sa’kin yang Krispy Kreme, hindi masyadong matamis. Kapampangan din wife ko pero galit kay pandak.
sabi ko na libre eh.hehe
sa San Fernando yung duty ko ngayon, hanep di kami magkaintindihan nung ibang doctor at pasyente…
idol ko yang si gov. panlilio.
mahirap talaga yang kapampangan.. i tried, pero nadisapoint lang ako.. sobrang hirap!
nga pala bro, i have a new home.. kindly replace my existing entry sa blogroll/links mo. salamat
Gusto ko rin ng Krispy Kreme. :p
I enjoyed Abe a lot. Food was a bit pricey but worth every penny. The branch in Trinoma isn’t as crowded as the one in Serendra
