Once again, I found myself being an OFW mom today. My hunny had a tennis tournament. On the bright side, my babyson skipped basketball practice today, so I planned a fun fun fun day for the 4 of us!

It’s been a while since we ate in China Palace, so off we went with my wingman leading the way. Boy, I’m getting to be a pro at this long-distance driving hahaha!

My wingman is soooo gwapo with his new haircut! <3

Had to renew our highlands membership cards first..

New pictures finally!! The ones in their current cards are baby pictures still.

It was almost 1:30 when we finished, so hungry were we that we ordered all these… @_@

Sayang it was raining, nasira ang beauty ng China Palace!

Peking duck wrap

Fried pigeon

Beef tenderloin

Taro duck

Yang chow

Birthday noodles

Broccoli in garlic sauce

Crystal prawns with bagoong <3

Minced duck in lettuce wrap

Fresh fruit platter, Lo mai chi & Masachi! ;P

Just 4 of us consumed all those yummy food! (but we saved some for daddy, of course)

Look at our happy faces! Nomnomnom!!! :))

On our way home, saw the sign “GOOD SHEPHERD”. I love their ube jam, so we went on a sidetrip!

Bought yummy goodies! <3 crunchy polvoron, ube jam, choco crinkles & lengua de gato

The kids wanted to check out the bazaar in nuvali, and have a non-chinese dessert hehe, so we made yet another side trip..

Couldn’t get more non-chinese than Crisostomo!

Crisostomo is owned & operated by Florabel Co (chef to the stars)

Look at the fantastic dessert.. and oh-so-cute names!!! <3

Kapitana Maria (frozen brazo de mercedes), Kapitan Tika (mais con hielo), Olimpia (mangoes & cream pie) & Narcissa (quezo de bola cheesecake)

I was really so full but couldn’t resist the Tinapa ni Tiburcio (haha funny name!) It’s tinapa with salted egg in crunchy lumpia wrapper. Really yummy!!! <3

We loved the dessert! <3 Will definitely go back to try the main courses.

Saw this in the bazaar. Got uber excited coz I’ve been coveting the Mac wonder woman make-up series. But found these to be merely imitations.. (price ranged from 300-500, duh!) Huhuhu!!! :'((

Sayannnggggg!!! Would have loved to own these!!! :((

Of course we couldn’t leave without feeding the fishies..

Oh! And guess what we did (inside &) outside China Palace in front of all the guests waiting for their cars!!! ;))) We really are a crazy family, hahaha!!!

We “owled”, although this looked more like “frogged” !! @_@

We planked!!! ;))

And.. we “Tea-potted” !!!

Another day in the life of! Happy Sunday tomorrow, everyone! <3
