Mirsbin’s Kitchen

I’m in a small hotel in Tagaytay, it’s called Potter’s Ridge. My sister was nice to invite me to tag along since she had a GC for an overnight stay given by her patient. As I write this, I’m sitting beside a big picture window with the view of Taal Lake. Everything is still, big clouds are hovering, the sun is bright and I’m enjoying the cool breeze.

We stayed here last Feb. I wasn’t really fond of their breakfast. I wanted to ask the management if they wanted consultancy on food portioning but nah, I didn’t pursue asking them. I’m just content on being a guest and just enjoy sleeping and staying here all day. So as I was browsing thru their menu last night. I was a little scared that this would just be another so-so meal.

My sister chose Sinigang na ulo ng Salmon and I wasn’t disappointed at all! It was one of the best sinigang I’ve ever tasted. I’m not really fond of fish, but the broth of the sinigang didn’t taste fishy at all.

After the meal, I enjoyed doing quiet time. A nice way to reflect on the things that happened in the first quarter of the year. Things are looking up - projects and all. I’m just wishing I had more time to just sit down and write again about the food that I encounter every day.

Lo and behold my two projects are featured on the same page in Click the City.

Two things that are very close to my heart. My dips that I have been making for 8 years already. Plus my new project as consultant for operations - Banapple.

Whenever I have the chance to treat my niece and nephews they would always choose to dine in any of the fastfood chains - McDo, Jollibee or Pizza Hut. Today it’s a growing list for pizza, they also like Shakey’s, Greenwich and somehow their tastebuds are slowly getting a little sophisticated they now like the Amici and Yellow Cab Pizza.

Last Monday, Andrea (my 9 year old niece) wanted to have a McChicken Sandwich. This is how they would ask - “Iya may money ka? gusto ko Mcdo eh.” Then a nice smile. So how can you say no to these kids? Off we went to the branch near St Luke’s. Since I wasn’t in the mood to dine inside, we ate in the car. She ordered McChicken and I had the Crispy fillet sandwich.

While eating, she started asking questions about life. Well not the serious ones but things like.

“Iya sino crush mo sa Hollywood?” and I answered Matt Damon
“Eh sa showbiz?” - long answer since I didn’t like anybody — Sam Milby?
“Sa real life sino crush mo?” - took me a longer time to answer ****

After that we were just quiet munching on our sandwiches. This is the moment that I will always cherish forever. These are our sacred bonding moments (naks parang Mcdo commercial) that I always look forward to everytime we’re together. Our dates started when she was 4 years old, I would always bring her to Jollibee or McDo. In 3 years she’ll be twelve, will she still enjoy going to Mcdo with me?
