My family loves food so much that Sundays are considered “the best ever.” It is during this time of the week when my Mom meticulously and lovingly prepares not-so-ordinary dishes to fill her household’s stomachs and allow them to indulge and enjoy family luncheon leisurely.
Exchange of stories normally occurs at this time as well as plans revealed for the future. Sometimes even grave matters are discussed too. This is also the time when jokes are thrown, experiences of the week are shared and more stories are unfolded unhurriedly.
Let me share with you the numerous food trips we’ve had recently. Some places we’ve been to are new and the excitement to taste what the restaurant offered were satiating. The others, due to cravings and lack of choice but nevertheless made us contented and happy beings.
8 Spices Thai Cuisine. Steam whole lapu-lapu with spicy herb (pla phieza), Thai spring rolls and Bagoong fried rice.
Shakey's. Solo pack chicken, Shake, Thin crust Shakey's special, Creamy mushroom soup.
Classic Savory. Malunggay noodles and Lechon Macau
Seoul Garden. Bokum Bap, Pan Fried Fish Fillet, Seafood Pancake, Garlic Chicken Bap, Stir Fried Korean Tang Hoon, Appetizer, Marinated Beef Bap.
My adventure to try new dishes will perpetually excite me. My senses are alive at the sight of mouthwatering and lavish food beautifully plated, inviting me to smell and taste them altogether. The ambiance may add to the pleasure and enjoyment of the moment.
On hindsight after giving much pondering, good food shared with the people I dearly love is considered superb especially on our “Sunday’s best ever!”
What greater blessing to give thanks for at a family gathering

Yummy, looks good. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of some of the items, but have no clue what the others are. I do agree that food and family can make a great mix.
ReplyDeletewow, look at all that scumptious food! Food definitely tastes better when shared with good company.
ReplyDeleteI think it is so fun to gather together on Sunday and eat all sorts of things together. sandie
ReplyDeleteAll your food adventures look so enticing. It's so great that your mother lovingly prepares Sunday meals and that all your family gets together for family sharing. Be blessed. xx
ReplyDeleteeverything looks really good to me. when i was growing up, my mother did the same thing, Sunday dinner was the really big meal of the week.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyable to see some more of your beaut food experiences. The 8 Spices Thai Cuisine especially tempts!
ReplyDeleteFamily get-togethers over a meal are always nice. I can understand how your mother loves to cook for all of you. I too love cooking for our family. We don't live close enough for it to be every week but when we are able to be at the same table it's always a good time... full of laughs and chatter.
Hello, It's only 7 a.m. here --and I just woke up!!!!! However, your food makes me hungry early this morning... Think I need to go to the kitchen and see what I can find.... Hmmmmmm--nothing in my kitchen that looks as good as some of what you have shown us... Maybe I just need to visit your family!!!!!! ha ha ha.....
ReplyDeleteHave a great day. I did sign up to follow you. Thought I already was!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
Some of the foods you have so beautifully taken pictures of look familar. We have a lot of Bermese refugees here in Fort Wayne, and our church has helped them have worship services in their own language with the help of translators. Sometimes the women treat us to some of their foods, and some of the your pictures remind me of what they prepared.
ReplyDeleteSome of the other things reminded me of when my daughter lived in Japan and we visited her there. When it was time to eat we would look and look at the foods pictured for us either in the menu or in their store windows, but many times didn't have a clue as to what we were eating, but most of it tasted good. We ate many foods we would never have dreamed of eating back home.
Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a great day!
Thank you for your nice words this morning. I hope I survive the schedule today and tomorrow. Then the rest of the week will be down hill - calm for a while.
ReplyDeleteHello. I stopped by from Snap That, and enjoyed the dishes. I love my grandchildren's reactions to new dishes and try to surprise them occasionally with a new restaurant.
