Salmon Steak Saturday

From Left: Catchu, Felix, Lyndon, Me, Jacq & her BF Moe

(This happened last Saturday, but I'm not apologizing for the delay. So there.)

Met up with some old and new Beijinoys for dinner at Fish & Co. in Greenbelt. Jacq and Christian were in town but he couldn't make on account of being in Ortigas. What surprised me more than the new faces was seeing old faces that were there with a different party. It used to be that Greenhills was the place to see the familiar Tsinoy faces, now it's Greenbelt. Joanne Co, Michael Yiu, Reena Leechiu, Joelyrose Tan, among others. It was like an improvised SJCS alumni reunion. Hell, even the waiter at F&O (Boni) was a friend of Felix!

The food was shared, and we even played the Bill Pool (20 bucks each, and whoever guessed the amount closest to the bill wins), though I didn't join on account of my having done the ordering and knowing the prices. Catchu won by less than 800 bucks. Yet we didn't pay the huge freakin' bill right away and decided to wait for Dennis (and more importantly, his discount card that would shave off 20 percent). Earlier in the day he was already in the shopping area but he still went home (accompanied by Arlene, Anthony Ang's sister) to get dressed.

After dinner Dennis and Arlene finally showed up (but not before Felix's sister Marj(Orie) stopped by to say Hi. The five of us left had dessert at Cafe Breton (okay, I only had agua) where we spotted a gay (by rumor) former senator who dropped in for crepes (perhaps). First time I virtually ignored pleas to come home by midnight.
