Thank you to Tito Joe Mari and Tita Mary Ann, we met a wonderful couple – Rainer and Baby.  They had just moved from Manila after living there for several years.  Rainer works for Schenker 

I took note of some of the collections of Baby – she had much more than this 🙂

And this was their view form the balcony!

The golf course

And the other apartment buildings in their complex

They served us cocktails in their apartment

Then we went down to the club house of the complex where we had a wonderful Indian dinner!

Baby added a Filipiniana touch to the table setting with these capiz candleholders

This was one of the best meals James and I had while in India.  The two starters were served in the apartment and they were really good!  And the rest was just the way we liked our Indian food to taste.  

A very popular vegetarian dish I noticed is paneer which is goat cheese with spinach

It was in this dinner that I discovered my love for Dahl 🙂  I don’t really eat beans, but I liked having this with my Indian food.  I had this in all my future Indian meals during the trip

The chef came out to greet us!  What a wonderful meal!!  BRAVO!

Then we had dessert – Gulab Jamun which made my sister very happy!

Thank you Rainer and Baby for your kind hospitality and for including us as part of your kind hospitality with Tito Joe and Tita Mary Ann.  We had a great time – the food, the company and the wonderful stories.  The Philippine Ambassador to India,  H.E. Benito Valeriano, was also there to join us and he had just arrived a few months ago for his post so he is new to the country as well.

We arrived very early morning in Delhi from Singapore.  As soon as we arrived in the hotel, we had breakfast

And Wow! What a wonderful breakfast 🙂

This is the first time I see this in a breakfast buffet.  BREAKFAST ON THE GO!  For people who don’t have much time to have breakfast, they can just get a bag here and take with them some bread from this table.  Nice! 🙂

Our travel companions!!!  We were happy to join Dad and Mom and Tito Joe Mari and Tita Mary Ann on their trip to India

All kinds of seeds and nuts

My favorite section – All kinds of yogurt!!

Yakult!! We all had Yakult every morning to line our stomachs as recommended by Tita Mary Ann 🙂

Definitely a glass of sweet lassi for me!  YUM!

Aside from the Sweet lassi and yakult, I had this! Freshly juiced carrots, beets and watermelon.  They changed this once in awhile to another vegetable or fruit.  LOVE IT!!!

Love love Indian breads!!!

Beautiful outside seating

We took Singapore Airlines to India via Singapore.  It was a 7pm flight to Singapore then we had to wait in the lounge til around 2am for the flight to Delhi.  A bit tiring but we had no choice since other flights were full.  

Always love to see the orchids whenever in Singapore!! It’s so abundant there and so beautiful to see!!

This is the most extensive food offering I have ever seen in any lounge!
