Becky was the first one to introduce me to Amber where she brought pork barbeque and pancit . It has been a long time eating there. Carmina was craving for pork barbeque. I had suggested to Becky to dine in person at Ambers after picking her up at her home. Upon entering there weren't that many people more on take outs we had looked over the menu since the print was too small to read decided to take a picture and zoom it on my phone. Becky and Carmina decided to share five pieces of pork barbecue. Becky ordered carbonara , and I chose one to serve of rice. You can choose where to sit when dining inside Amber. There is a restroom available, but it does not provide toilet paper, and it is a unisex facility. If you have leftovers can ask for assistant to have it wrapped up for you. Becky also recommended to try their pichi pichi which had ordered for takeout bring it home to eat.

There goes a saying that the Filipino people love giving
pasalubong (gifts) when they are traveling or returning back from their
country. No matter what there is always something people expect from you even
if you have only been away for a short time.
It is a custom where we always
seem to buy something memorable from our trip. I have relatives that come from
the States and they always have a pasalubong to give me no matter if I am also
from there. To us it is way to show is gratitude to each other.
I have a close friend from the
States she always ask me why I always give her a gift even if it is not her
birthday. I just said, just because I want too. It is not like she is obligated
to give me a gift in return.
We have different means to
express ourselves not by words but to give them something we feel they would
like coming from our home town.
Just like when I travel to
another country I always have something for my employees it just shows
something to them they took care of my family while I was away. They always
seem to look forward in something that you give them. It doesn't necessary have
to be something you need to buy even those freebies you get from the hotel they
are even happy to use the shampoo, soap and etc.
Sometimes the employee teases
me when they know I will be out of town to get a pasalubong. Or I would tease
them back when they go off to a vacation to bring back a pasalubong. Sometimes
they do bring something from their hometown usually if it is provience they
come back with lots of native banana.
Or they bring dried fish or
some sort just to show and share what they have brought from their homeland.
