Last tuesday, Jamie asked me and Patti to go food tripping with her after school. I’m supposed to go home right after my last class for the day but since Jamie told us its gonna be her treat, I decided to stay and go with her. Hey, its not everyday that Jamie would treat us out so better take advantage of it, right? Hahaha.
Our class ended at exactly 4:10pm and the girls (Kathy, Carla, and Patti) and I went to my condo because Carla had asked me to lend her some of my DVDs which she’ll watch this holy week and Kathy’s driver won’t be able to fetch her ’till 5pm. All we did was to eat some ice cream (Kathy was able to eat 1 pint of ice cream in one sitting!) and just hang-out. At around 5pm, Kathy and Carla left me and Patti at my condo. Patti and I just talked about our current addiction on korean artists while waiting for Jamie’s meeting to end. We’ve stayed at the condo for a long time that Patti even witnessed the craziness of our condo’s “regular visitor” who goes by the name Mary Rose Pascual since her and Aicon’s class ended a bit early than usual. Finally, Jamie’s meeting ended at around 6:30pm and off we go to Rockwell, Makati to eat at this Thai diner, which apparently is very popular nowadays because of the great food they’re serving.
I won’t recount our transpo adventure because it would be quite long. All I can say is that it was one hell of a cab and walking experience for us. People, just read between the lines and I’m sure you’ll have an idea of what we’ve been through. Anyway, the Thai diner where we’ve eaten is called Som’s Thai something (I can’t actually remember it). Since I’ve said that its quite popular nowadays, you might think that its a luxurious restaurant or something. Well, its obviously not just by looking/hearing its name. But I was surprised to see that a lot of people – and I mean people coming from the higher social class - were dining there. You would really see all these expensive cars parked near the place and almost all the people are wearing rather “formal” outfits, which suggests that they are somehow part of the higher echelon of society. Because it was full of people, we even had to wait for some of them to leave before we got a table for ourselves. But I can say that the transpo adventure and all the waiting was worth it because they really serve delicious Thai food. Jamie ordered a variety of Thai dishes and my god, am I full after eating. I was so full to the point that my tummy wants to burst because of all the food I’ve eaten. The food was great, well except for that certain soup which really did not fit my taste. I love the red curry dish - it has just the right amount of sweetnesss and spiciness in it. Its simply the best! Hahaha. I suggest you go there and have a taste of their dishes. I’m sure you’ll love it too plus its also affordable. Try it!
After this food tripping experience, the three of us decided to have a food tripping day at least once a month. Hahaha. I just don’t know if we’ll be able to do that since we’re quite busy with school. But knowing the three of us who love to do some escapades from time to time, I think we’ll be able to do it once in a while. Hehehe.
Hmmm… what cuisine will be our next target? Any suggestions?
