gargantuan appetite: Som's and home-cooked lunch

basta pasko ang sarap talaga kumain!

after shopping my legs to death (which i enjoyed immensely), a big meal should soon follow.

saturday supper at soms
mel has been raving about this thai resto near the office... cheap pero super yummy daw na authentic thai. so to reward ourselves for a very fruitful sopping session for our christmas party costumes (i had very few small items i needed after shopping with lily friday night), we headed to soms.

very cozy place.. mel said it used to be a karinderya... and i guess business has been so good, they got to expand. aircon naman... malinis.. medjo confused ang decor (the table tiles were more morrocan than thai).. but in general, okay yung place. it wouldnt be a bad place to rent for a party.. may sound system and all... parking will be a slight concern though.

i let mel order: bagoong rice, catfish salad, chicken curry (yellow), tom yum gai, and plain rice (na-sales talk kami nung waitress. bagay daw sa curry)...

gosh.. mel wasnt kidding when she said food was good there. she barely ate anything so i practically ate everything... hahaha. well, she ate 90% of the sticky rice and mango dessert.. but that was because i was too stuffed to move.

you know how sometimes may mga lamok na sobrang dami nang blood na nakain di na maka-lipad? i think i know how that feels. hahaha.

super sunday lunch
you'd think id have enough food in me to last me weeks... but no. mom had to cook great sunday lunch. oh boy.

anyway, heres my plate:

all-time mommy food favorites!
1. inihaw na tilapia.. this one was super fresh and super malaman.
2. green mango salad.. everytime may reunion sa side ni papa, may HUGE bowls of green mango salad. mawala na kanin, wag lang yung mango salad.
3. sinigang.. and mom made it maasim just the way i love it.

di naman marami kinain ko no? di bale, all the shopping i did after lunch was enough to burn allt he food. plus no more second serving.. yan na yun.
