Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly.

Living in the cultural of the Philippines there is always room for
merienda (snack) that comes between after lunch and before having your dinner.
Filipino love to eat and they
also love to entertain guest with food it gives them a time to express their

Even if we have no guest in our
home we still have merienda in our home and my mother in-law loves to have
extra food for their staff as they work hard to her it is a given thing
everyone needs to find time to eat.
They always eat merienda with a
cup of coffee even if we live in a tropical climate coffee is a part of their
beverage eaten with their merienda.
Today, our merienda was not
cooked by our cook this time we decided to buy something that is called, pichi
pichi and cassava cake. Pichi Pichi is made of cassava with shredded cheese on
the top. Cassava is a starch comes from a root.
