Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  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. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

Mom Violy Excited for Ling Nam Express in Robinsons Magnolia

Carmina was busy walking around with Mom Violy inside Robinsons Magnolia. She had noticed a sign saying there is a Ling Nam Express located at the Ground Floor. Mom Violy was asking where the Ground Floor is. Carmina said it is where the food court is located. Yet she didn't believe me went ahead ask each security Mom Violy. They kept telling her they are new at the Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina said, why don't you just trust me let's go to the ground floor and if I am wrong than we can look for it elsewhere. Going down from the second floor riding the escalator Carmina pointed out to Mom Violy and said see I am right.  Mom Violy said, why did you ask me to ask the security guard. We know most seniors they won't admit they are wrong. 🤣 Mom Violy was busy looking at the screen located at the top for their menu. Carmina was looking at the menu that was holdable on top the counter.  Mom Violy realized mine was easier to read the menu especially when you're feeling hungr...

Tito Boni's Request to Eat at The Alley by Vikings in U.P. Town Center

The last time I had made potato salad was on April 1, 2023. Tito Boni made a comment asking for a sample.  When someone has treated me well enough to be my other father treating Mom Violy and Tita Edna for a meal. For me making his request doesn't bother me. In reality he can be my father figure because the way he treats me as if I was his daughter. Tito Boni's birthday was on May 14, 2023. I had informed Mom Violy and Tita Edna it should be our turn to treat Tito Boni out on his belated birthday. I also said, he should pick where he would like to eat. Tito Boni said, he would like to eat at The Alley by Vikings because the last time he went there when U.P. Town Center was just being developed. Mom Violy made a reservation through the phone two weeks for May 23, 2023. On the day of May 23, 2023  Carmina was the first one to arrive at The Alley by Vikings at eleven o'clock informing I had reservation under Mom Violy's name party of five. Carmina knows how it feels to eat...
