I DRESS-UP AND EAT

One of the places we visited on our second day in San Francisco was the popular  Haight-Ashbury district. It was almost lunch time when we arrived at this famous tourist destination in San Francisco and from among the array of cafes and bistros, we opted for PEOPLES CAFE. Peoples Cafe is a c ounter-serve cafe serving breakfast sandwiches, coffee, burgers & salads in a revamped space. I was missing eating Vietnamese noodles since before I left for the US trip, I was at the verge of my cravings for the sumptuous noodles at Phat Pho  restaurant in Cebu. Look at the price of the Pho noodles, way too expensive than the mouthwatering Bun Bo Hue noodles at Phat Pho!

Lunch date with my parents at one of our favorite Filipino restaurant: CAFE LAGUNA My parents opted for a healthy, bounty meal.  A combination of vegetables and seafoods was perfect for a nourishing family meal.   Started off with varied PAMPAGANA (appetizers):  (1) Crispy Kangkong , my all-time favorite which I am always giving a score of 10 of 10. (2) Another of my favorite appetizers is the Gambas .  I am giving it a score of 9 of 10. ENSALADA (salad):   Cucumber salad - Fresh slices of cucumber with tomato soaked in vinegar.
