Carmina planned to visit the newly opened Ikea at Trinoma on All Souls' Day , a Philippine holiday , thinking the mall would be less crowded. She didn’t invite Mom Violy, knowing she doesn’t enjoy going to Trinoma . While talking to Mom Violy on the phone, Carmina mentioned she was heading to Trinoma on Saturday, November 1, and invited her to come along, though she reminded her that she doesn’t like walking around that area. Mom Violy said she couldn’t recall ever visiting Trinoma, mentioning how aging parents tend to forget places they've been to. She expressed a craving for steak for lunch, so Carmina began searching for restaurants in Trinoma and sent her links to choose from. Mom Violy decided on Astons Specialties , which seemed to have the steak she wanted. Upon arriving at Trinoma, unfamiliar with the layout, they discovered two Garden areas where restaurants were located. At Astons Specialties, they were the first customers and were seated at a table, with compliment...
Time has come when Carmina's dad is visiting the Philippines.
Carmina's cousin wanted to plan a get together during his visit. Carmina had asked her dad when he was free and asked any type of food would like to eat while in town.
Carmina's cousin made a group chat in Facebook Messenger to coordinate with everyone.
Carmina asked the head count just in case I come early it would be easy to get a table.
Carmina had informed everyone that she will be the one to bring her dad to the restaurant.
Wednesday, July 10, 2024, Carmina had picked her dad early walked inside Power Plant Shopping Mall headed to Ding Tai Fung.
Carmina was already aware that they don't provide reservation only for walk in.
Did you know they only allow 80% for table of ten?
We had informed the server that everyone else would arrive at 12noon.
The server will explain everything how to place your order on a piece of paper giving you a menu and pencil.
Table was set and was able to order our food.
Everyone had arrived different time, yet we placed our own meals.
The following food that we had ordered is either for sharing or just personal consume.
Steamed Pork and Shrimp Shao Mai
Wagyu Beef
Salted Egg Yoke Prawn
Braised Beef Noodle Soup
Some of the food I wasn't able to take a picture since it was their own food at the table.
We had a wonderful time catching up since it has been nine years since my dad has visited the Philippines.
