Mom Violy wanted to eat crispy pata and pinakbet from Seafood Island Restaurant located in Cubao, Quezon City near the old Shopwise. We had arrived early being the first customers waiting for the restaurant to open. Few minutes later customers began entering the restaurant and we have already placed our order. Mom Violy ordered her crispy pata and pinakbet. Carmina ordered garlic butter shrimp since I don't eat crispy pata. Family member ordered calamari and shrimp fried rice. Everyone had a taste of our meals with leftovers to bring home. Watch my video Running Errands in the Philippines . NOT SPONSORED.

Who doesn't enjoy cherry picking season that comes every year in the month of mid-May to mid- June depending on the rainfall becomes available in Brent wood, California.
Every time I get the chance to visit California I make sure I bring some cherries back home in the Philippines. Did you know cherries range from $20.00 per kilo in the Philippines and comes from the same area.
While you spend less buying or picking cherries in California. How I wished we can just have a cherry tree in the Philippines. Of, course it is not possible due to our tropical climate.
