Spicy Lunch

I am just a semi-fan of spicy food. I like it on certain days that I have cravings but I don't really like my food extra spicy. In my opinion, it's nice that in a way it excites my tastebuds but I don't like the aftertaste and sometimes I feel that it numbs my mouth. Or maybe that's just all psychological. Haha!

Anyway, one Friday lunchtime, which is supposedly lunch-out day for most of us, we chose to fill our tummies with Indian Cuisine. So off to New Bombay we went which is conveniently just across the street from our office building.


Food:

Chicken Kheema (Keema) Hyderabadi - Minced Chicken Meat, Spinach, Green Curry.



Butter Tandoori Naan - Indian flat bread made from wheat and baked in a tandoor (clay oven)


The chicken dish was too spicy for me because we ordered it 'Medium' hot style. You'll be asked whether you like it Spicy, Medium or Mild. We should have said 'mild'. Oh well, until our next spicy lunch date. :)


CARPE DIEM!
I'm out.

I'm not a fan of Indian food too, but that's because I have yet to try. We're currently into Korean nowadays.

You went to New Bombay at The Columns? I liked their chicken tandoori and masala. The kulfe (Indian ice cream) is nice, too. I like spicy food but not necessarily Indian cuisine.

Hi,

Even I can't stand much spicy food but I'm fine with having it once or twice. I guess my tastebuds need this once in a while charge-up!!

Ba-Bye Ate

Today was quite a sad day for our family. For a very close-knit family, goodbyes are really extra difficult to say . Especially if the one leaving will be miles and seas away. My Ate (with her husband) left this morning for the US. They'll be starting their new life there. She already has work so I don't need to worry about that anyway, and I'm sure that she'll definitely do well. My parents were really sad... maybe it's the thought of being "away" from her. Tipong you have to hop on a plane pa just to be able to get to her. The whole family has US visa naman , we can go there anytime (as long as we have the money I guess :p) Yes, I cried a lot as well... and I guess it's because of all the bilins I got from her. The one that stuck the most " Ikaw na bahala dito ha.. Alagaan mo sila Mama and Papa. Si Ivan ha... Wag mo silang pabayaan. " My nephew on the other hand was a different story... he was eager to go home already when we got to NAIA. ...

Commitmentphobe No More

Look... check out who finally commits. :) I've read about this in my friend's blog sometime last week. (Hi Carla ! Thanks for sharing). My initial reaction... "WHY VERONICA?!?" I was such a Betty fan. Oh well... So I've read more about the article just this morning and here's part of it.. “People who vote for Veronica-Archie are the idealists, the people who say, ‘I'm voting for the glitz, the glamour, the high energy, the sexiness, the ideal [and] they might not even care so much that it'll only last five years,'” says the Toronto-based registered family, marriage and sex therapist. Those who yearn to see Archie and Betty get hitched take a more realistic, traditional view, she says. They're more grounded, are thinking long term and have more of a sense of “for always and forever.” The way the girlfriends each relate to Archie sheds a lot of light on their character. Betty allows Archie to push her aside, a sign she'd make a submissive...

Suuuuuungka!

Who knows how to play Sungka? What's Sungka you may be thinking? Well, let's allow good old Wiki to define it for us... Congkak (pronounced [tʃoŋkaʔ] ) is a mancala game played in the island of Borneo , Singapore , and Peninsular Malaysia . Minor variants are known as Tchonka, Naranj, Dakon or Sungka and are played in Indonesia (mostly Java ), Sri Lanka , the Maldives , southern Thailand , the Philippines and the Marianas . In Indonesia, it is called "Congklak" meaning cowrie shells, which are often used as pieces. On the island of Java, it is called "Dakon" and little red seeds are used as pieces. In the Philippines it is called "Sungka" and shells are used as pieces. Congkak is believed to originate from the word ‘congak’ which in old Malay Language means count. When we were in Boracay last April, this game was played during our free time. I love playing it! Especially if my opponent's Arvic because I pretty much win all the time. Haha...
