BANAPPLE (AYALA TRIANGLE)

It was still Mati's 2016 birthday celebration and we are having a blast with Team Virrey during our staycation in DISCOVERY PRIMEA. Now what could make our weekend MORE enjoyable?

Why, eating delicious food for dinner of course!

And THAT, thankfully was beautifully addressed by the birthday boy Mati when he chose BANAPPLE to be our venue that Saturday night!

WOHOO! Great choice master Mati! BANAPPLE is one of ERICJAZ FOODIES' favorite as well!!!!

You would understand our joy once you get a taste of their hot entrees, luscious desserts, and chug-a-lug worthy drinks. Besides that, each order of their hot platters and drool worthy desserts are all priced reasonably and so acceptable to "quorifutes" like us.

Sniff.. sniff... I'm so proud of my son. I have taught him well... Sniff... sniff!

Tee hee!

Oh and just in case you didn't understand "quorifutes" is french for KURIPOT.

Okay fine. Let's make the term less harsh and be more politically correct: We are just "extravagantly-challenged".

Believe me, the prices may be "stingy friendly" but the food from BANAPPLE is something worth feeling lavish about!

YOWN!

BANAPPLE!!!

THE YAPPY BUNCH were in AYALA TRIANGLE after a short walk from DISCOVERY PRIMEA.

We loved it there because the kiddies could run around in their park on that cool night!

CIRCLES BUFFET (MAKATI SHANGRI-LA HOTEL)

For Father's Day, we decided to have a pre-celebration with the special guys in our lives in CIRCLES, SHANGRI-LA Makati. We figured, it would be nice to honor and treat our "bossings" to acknowledge how great they are in taking care of the kids, washing our clothes, and cleaning the house.

Tee heee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, since these men have been doing such a great job in taking care of their families, we planned to take them out somewhere special where they will be having an enjoyable gastronomic dinner. If next week their children will be honoring their awesomeness for Father's Day, tonight will be OUR night to tell them how special they are.

And in typical ERICJAZ FOODIES way, it is with FOOD!

NOT something else.

By the way, we still made them pay for it. It's still "Happy Wife, Happy Life" forever you know. No day-off for that.

:P  

CIRCLES EVENT CAFE!

We went to MAKATI SHANGRI-LA HOTEL on a Saturday for our date night. Good thing that traffic was manageable and we were able to get there earlier than the reserved time of  7:00pm.

We decided to have dinner in CIRCLES since their long line of dishes would definitely satisfy our very hungry men. 

OF CRABS, COCHINILLO, AND CHIKA!!!

On my birthday week last February, I received a touching greeting from the husband of Ms. Eileen that it really made my day! When I texted to thank her for it, she said to ask the TAPE Inc., ladies if they are available for lunch on a weekday because she plans to treat us all for crabs and cochinillo.

Of course we're available! Why wouldn't we be? These are crabs and cochinillo we are talking about! Actually, even if we're not available, we'll scrap whatever those earlier plans are to go there!!!!

Oops. I remembered that this is public. JUST kidding! If we have something important to do at work, we'll DEFINITELY do it.

Whew.

Anyway, my TAPE Inc., office mates are always so busy that when there was finally a lunch day where everyone is free, we wasted no time in letting Ms. Eileen know about it. And I'm glad that we were all able to get together again because not only were we served with a VERY delicious spread but the company and chika were all something to remember.

Of course, there's nothing like sharing these great moments with exceptional ladies!

And that is why we are The Ladies Who Lunch!

It's the LADIES WHO LUNCH!

Before, we used to do it regularly, eating out when it's somebody's birthday. But now, most of us are on a diet and busy with work that lunch-outs like this is something to really treasure!
