Today, Wednesday the 3rd, Sue and I were finally able to schedule another lunch get-together... last time we had lunch together was at least, a couple of months back.... and to think her work is only a 15 minute walk away from my home.... LOL..... Much of it, of course, is the busy schedules... like this month, I fly to Manila on the 15th and back on the 23rd; while she flies to Beijing on the 22nd for a few days... so scheduling is always tricky!!! And sadly, Cecilia's work is not too close - so she could not join us....The Japanese restaurant we have gone to before, that I liked, had closed down... not sure why as it was quite Busy & Popular, from what I gathered... maybe the rent in the area was just way too much.... But Sue knew of another Japanese restaurant, SAKURA - so the craving for Japanese food was still satisfied...
The restaurant is pretty quaint and very Japanese - it should be as one half of the married couple owner is Japanese.... Western and Japanese style seatings are available - we opted for the latter, of course.... the decor is nice and simple -- but lovely... and the food - DELICIOUS!!! Desserts are even baked in house, they are actually famous for their desserts, as they also have a popular bakery called, Chiffon - a few doors down... Overall, it was a satisfying meal we both had... and of course, just to sit, chat & catch is and foremost, the highlight of the get-together....
No get-together will be complete without exchanging something fun to remember the day by... I gave her Flat Tops, my fave childhood chocolates from The Philippines and a Rosary from The Vatican... and she gifted me with this cute "12 Apostles" tee... an original design for a fundraising project of the church she goes to... I LOVE IT!!!
And of course, we were accompanied by a couple of Bearbricks, too: Gremlins - the good and the bad versions....
