Reunions

It’s so nice to know that every now and then there are celebrations like these that bond people together. I’m such a sucker for family reunions. I love the family feel. The security and closeness that even if you fail or got broken you know deep down in yourself that they have your back and will never be alone. I know that family has different structures and different core. They also have different tradition. Well as for my family I would have to say that bonding for us means eating together. You see my grandmother and grandfather on my mom’s side loves to eat. Even if they are already 81 years old they still have the satisfaction in eating in a new restaurant and discovering the tastes of food they offer. My grandmother loves cooking so she has picky taste buds. Most of the time when eating a restaurant we would discuss which food we like and the food we don’t but once it passes in our taste bud we would always go there to eat every family celebrations. I remember the time when my grandmother and grandfather loved to eat at Kowloon West House because of the delicious yet affordable and very large serving. The addiction lasted for years as every birthday celebration was celebrated there. However, my grandparents becomes bored with the place and tried our luck in eat all you can restaurants. After, so many tries, we have now our new favorite restaurant and that is Jade Valley where we ate our lunch today. I know that in my previous post I said that it was in dimsum break but what can I do my grandmother has a fickle mind so the venue was changed. Also, its her birthday she can pick wherever to eat. :)
 

Birthday Girl having a blast!
 
The place was not new to us so we feel at home going there. We have just eaten there for I think 4 or 5 times over the years. I remember the last time we went there and the food was not that amazing and consider not eating there anymore however my grandmother still pursued that her birthday celebration be celebrated there so we have no choice but to go there. Unexpectedly, the food was amazingly good!!! It’s really yummy and for a 225 pesos eat-all-you-can the place was also great! The 225 pesos payment also includes 1 glass of iced tea. There are over 25 dishes to choose from. These 25 dishes contain soup, appetizer and desserts. Here are some of the foods that they served when we ate there a while ago :)

As I have said these foods are so yummy and they are really something to crave about. My favorite dish was actually the fried chicken and the fried wanton balls. What can I do? I love fried anything. Well for all its worth, I am so full and have eaten a lot too. Excited to eat there again!
