Pre Valentine Dinner at Cafe Ysabel

Around 3 dinners ago, Newton has been insisting we go to Cafe Ysabel to try this burger with foie gras

So finally, we arranged our pre-valentine dinner and Paolo and Trina came all the way from the South and we came all the way from Makati through the traffic :-)  to try this burger.  Only to find out that it was not available that evening!  :-)

But anyway, when we arrived, I felt like I was in highschool when James and I would date and go out for dinner

It was very simple back then with menus that were straight forward…though they have some dishes that are a sort of fusion yet the place was kept as is…which was nice for a change in a world where everyone is becoming modern and fast changing.  The place reminded us of our highschool days and it was nice :-) They put us in the smoking area since everything else was reserved…

Its a good thing our waiter moved us to this other area which became our private dining area.  We had them put the two tables together :-)

So here we are :-)

Come Away with Me

  by Norah Jones

&rel=1&color1=0xd6d6d6&color2=0xf0f0f0&border=1&autoplay=0">&rel=1&color1=0xd6d6d6&color2=0xf0f0f0&border=1&autoplay=0" />

 

Come away with me in the night

Come away with me

And I will write you a song

 

Come away with me on a bus

Come away where they can’t tempt us

With their lies

 

I want to walk with you

On a cloudy day

In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high

So won’t you try to come

 

Come away with me and we’ll kiss

On a mountaintop

Come away with me

And I’ll never stop loving you

 

And I want to wake up with the rain

Falling on a tin roof

While I’m safe there in your arms

So all I ask is for you

To come away with me in the night

Come away with me
