Discover the rich flavors of Filipino cuisine at Ambers, where culinary delight meets budget-friendly dining.

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 pitchi pitchi which had ordered for takeout bring it home to eat. After trying it at home very soft even if you put in the refrigerator and warm in the microwave...

To Give and To Receive


Every time I decide to clean out my pantry I see food I hardly feel like eating anymore and hasn’t been expired. I give to those who can’t afford to buy it so they too can appreciate eating the food.

Those people you give are so grateful for what you do to them. They are not necessary poor or have no money. They are people living at your home who no nothing what kind of food you have in your food pantry.

I think I become generous this way and people also thank me for who I am.

My mom is the same way when she has leftover food and she can’t seem to want to eat it anymore she gives it away to the workers living in her condominium. These workers get to try home cook meals or food coming from a restaurant. These people appreciate her generosity because sometimes they don’t have time to bring food to work or they don’t earn enough to supplement their family needs.

My mom loves giving away not only food, but clothing that no longer fit her or clothes she get tired wearing. She gives it away to her friends or she gives it to me. I give it to the people who work at the house for freelance.

I am not the same size as my mom. I am much smaller than her. Our style is the opposite so you don’t see me wearing her clothes that often.

My in-law’s also do the same thing when they receive bulks of food given by their clients they divide their food by per family for example my in-law’s received cherries last Christmas. They placed it in zip lock bags knowing they can’t consume it on their own. Each family member had received a zip lock bag full of cherries.

I had shared it with my mom and gave her half of my portion no one in my family eat it only me.

When our cooks decide to cook some sort of Filipino dishes I would put my mom’s portion in a Tupperware and place it in the freezer. By, the time I see her she has a new set of food to eat. She does the same when her friend’s give her dessert she saves some for me and I’d come by her home and pick it up.

We never run out of food or items to give away. Everything goes in a cycle just how life is at times. You give and then you receive.
