Mangetsu Get Together for Suharto and Rina

By | Celebrations, Foodie | No Comments

So nice of Sonny and Natalie to always organize something when Suharto and Rina are here!  🙂  And everytime I see them, the look younger and younger everytime and more hip! 🙂  And I always take advantage and talk to the two of them because I always learn a lot from them – about life, about business about everything!!  I love them! 🙂

This is like my third time to be in Mangetsu that past month – that’s a lot for me since I hardly repeat restaurant one after the other 🙂 It just so happens that many people like this place so this is our venue on several occassions:

Lils prepared fondue for us!!!  Ever since my cook left, we have not had fondue in a long time and so we were happy to be having fondue prepared by Lills

Lills bought the cookers 🙂 so it’s more authentic
