Celebration

If you were like Vic and I, you'd commemorate special occasions with good meals. For us, a good meal comprises a good selection of well-prepared food. There was nowhere else to go but to Mandarin's Paseo Uno or to Makati Shang's Circles.

Admittedly, we only liked the appetizers. The selection for the main course was nothing to gush about, except for the all-time-favorite, tempura. In the end, I had two helpings of appetizers

(smoked salmon with dill, cali makis, gouda and emmental)

and a single helping of dessert. Note that there is minimal chocolate on my plate.

(creme brulee, raspberry mousse, black forest and baklava)

If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
