 We heard about this Filipino restaurant from Tito Stephen and Tita Reg and I made sure we stopped by to check it out!! Thanks to Tita Reg for taking us! Â
 As soon as you enter, there is a condiment tray on the left Maggi savor and Jufran banana catsup!! My two favorite pinky sauces 🙂  Please forgive my photos as it was quite dark so some photos are blurred
 Love the interiors of the place!
 The owners were there and are friends of Tita Reg, Noel Cruz and Enzo Lim.  Other owners are Nicole Ponseca and Chef Miguel Trinidad
 And the sister of Enzo who according to Tita Reg is a model!  Very pretty and tall indeed!
 Love the t-shirts of the servers
 A very small, nice and cozy place.  It’s so nice to have a place to go to that reminds you of home when you are far away
And Tita Reg pointed out to us that it is so Pinoy to have a Last supper image in a Filipino dining table 🙂 and I remember my parents and my Lola having one
 What a creative menu!!!
 
This is dedicated to our brother Mike and Gloria.  You should visit Maharlika when in New York to taste the Gloria Diaz drink 🙂
Oh my gosh!!! I love their complimentary appetizer!!!!!!! Chicken skin with banana catsup and vinegar!! OH MY GOSH! I could eat just this with rice haha!!

Something amazing happened today on my special day!!!! Â Two of the Avengers came to my house and delivered some Jollibee fried chicken for me!!! I LOVE IT!!!Â
 
Wow!! This is some special fried chicken!!!!
Thank you to Jollibee for making this day a special day for me to remember!! Thanks Grace Bermejo!  Grace told me that the Incredible Hulk was supposed to come also but he had to go save someone last minute 🙂
Â
I made sure my kids and my Dad and Mom were here even if they did not know they were coming! Â
Dad loves these characters and collects them in statue form, so I thought he would like to see them live! 🙂 Â
 
So of course we took plenty photos with them before they left!
After that we opened our loot from the Avengers
love the collectible tubs!!
This is what we had for dinner!!! YUMMY FRIED CHICKEN!!!
I made an event out of it to celebrate with my family 🙂  I am so happy today!!  My family loved the fried chicken too 🙂
 And thanks for the tickets to the movie which is showing already tomorrow!!!!

You have to be daring to do weird things…so I would say I am daring! and I guess that makes me weird! Â haha!!
Outside the window of Tito Mandy’s condo, they spotted these 3 mannequins by the dump bin. Â And Tito Mandy and Tita Reggie were daring to go and get them! Â I don’t remember how I ended up getting them but we went down to look at them, saw that they were okay and I got excited! Â
Tita Reggie posing beside them for a photo opportunity 🙂Â
I told our driver, Resty, to put down all the chairs in the car so the mannequins could fit!! haha!! Â
I’m watching him from upstairs getting the mannequins, I was embarassed to stay there 🙂 That is Bloomingdales on the backdrop- so we figured those are old mannequins that they are getting rid of.  So I classify them as vintage! haha
Resty laughing thinking that I am really crazy to make him do this 🙂Â
And the last one!  Having them shipped over to Manila and still wondering what I will do with them and where to put them 🙂Â
