Food Tastes Better When It’s Free

2,460 views

I love it so much whenever I have the chance to get away from my work. I don’t need to go far away; I just need to be stressed-free. One stress-free preoccupation that naturally brings a smile to my face is food. I am not a glutton. I just eat more when I can. He  he he.  :D

It was several weeks ago when I had the chance to once again be with workmates and most especially with my Boss. Lest I forget, I need to mention that the Boss used to blog at Bottom Lines. However, it is now on comatose because he hasn’t done any kind of updating in ages, LOL!

It has been a long while too since we’ve had him for a lunch treat :wink: Thanks to one of my colleagues who generously did the favor :D

When he learned that my Co-Assistant would like to treat him out for lunch with a few of us as chaperons (Haha!), we did not hesitate in asking him for some recommendations as to where. He named a few fine restaurants but we ended up with a seafood house. I have been very excited about eating out with them *giggles*

We were all first timers here. It was also the first time that I’ve heard of this particular restaurant.

One of Gensan's finest

Where have I been all along? LOL!

The restaurant has a native ambiance

The small fish pond and the huge aquariums where all the fishes were coming from

The Boss deciding his meal choice

We're simply biding our time

Seriously thinking through what to choose

Hmmmm... Let me see...

.. and our orders are... Sorry for making you wait for so long, Miss ;-)

Now it's time to smile for the cam. Oh no! That Vee sign again, hahaha!

Now here comes the menu choices:

The menu book

8 Treasure Soup

Seafood Pancit Canton

Yum!

Naked Tilapia

Bombastic Tilapia... my personal favorite!

Mixed fruits as dessert

Too bad we failed to take a capture of the delish pompano. It tasted so good! Not to mention expensive, hahaha!

Here’s the aftermath:

I feel chunkier! LOL!

Being the camwhores that we were, we simply can’t leave the place without taking some more memento for that day.

Yours truly can't help but strike a pose

We can't be stopped even under the excruciating heat of the sun, hahaha!

All work and no play will make us all dull! Agree?

Before formally wrapping this up, I feel the need to thank our generous sponsor for satisfying our gastronomic cravings.

Thanks heaps, Mench!

We look forward for more in the near future :wink:

    Dinhe lang na sa Gensan Keith uy. Definitely not in the Camotes Island, LOL! Don’t you worry, when we get the chance to travel to Cebu, that’s certainly one big reunion for you and the rest of Kuerdas Band.

    @ Lainy,

    How does a non-naked Tilapia look like?

    It was said earlier here that the best things in life are free.

    @Windy,

    A non-naked tilapia is still edible. Give it to Filipino’s ingenuity for creating such a name, LOL!

    Gosh! I almost fainted by your offer, Windy. Hahahaha!

    Doble ang lami sa pagkaon, Laine kung libre. LOL.

    Diri mi nangaon with a good friend tong gibisita ko ni BA for the first time. Gilid ni sa NDDU-ibed diba? Wa pud ko nasayud sa place if wa niingon akong friend. Lami ila food pero gamay ra ang serving. Ang para sa 3 nila, murag para ra sa isa. Basi nuon karon nidaghan na kay two years ago pa man to. Haha.

    Nalaway ko nagtanaw sa food. Lahi ra jud ang pagkaon diha. :(
