The plate is looking fuller by the day.

The haze has returned! So much for the extended rainy season. So far, it's thin and light. We expect it to become thicker and heavier. More rain please!

We had dinner last night at a cafe serving food from the Phillippines. It's called "Pinoy Ihaw-Ihaw" which literally means "grilled or barbecued food" (ihaw-ihaw) of Filipinos (pinoy). I was told that it's in the masculine form. Feminine: Pinay (Filipina).

We had Lumpiang Shanghai & Fresh Lumpia (spring rolls; both fried and fresh), Kare-kare Oxtail (oxtail cooked with fresh leafy vegetables & eggplant in a creamy peanut sauce) and Tortang Talong (eggplant omelette). Linda had the extremely fresh and pure starfruit juice while i had a surprisingly refreshing mango juice. I'm so glad that these fellas did not use MSG (or even if they did, you could not taste nor feel it) or lace their fresh juices in sugar.

We patronised the cafe last month when Cheryl, Arnold and Theo were around. Cheryl and Arnold were unanimous in their pronouncement that this place served really good Pinoy food. Bear in mind that Cheryl's not just from the Phillippines but also Manila to boot! Their Crispy Pata is also excellent. Have a go, you won't be dissapointed. Oh, it ain't halal (Crispy Pata is deep fried pork leg).

Back to work. I have to end as abruptly as the series ending for the Sopranos.
