A good meal for the chef

6th month of receiving a salary

Half of my salary this month would be spent in Circles, Shang-ril La. I want to treat a very lovely person, Manang Piling. Manang has been with my family even before I was born. Ever since she never left us. Manang has been very loyal to the family.

For me, she has always been part of the family. I consider her my 2nd mom. I always tell the people who ask about my mom or dad's favorite and I always answer that my dad's favorite is the second while my mom's is the youngest BUT I'm Manang's favorite. Manang favors me very much that she puts me first in everything. She always cooks my favorite food - shrimps and she always give me what I want. I am spoiled to Manang.

I always regret the times when I get mad at her. Sometimes when I'm looking for what I want and she can't find it, I get mad easily. I admit that really is my weakness and I know I have something to do about it. She gives a lot of care and love to me always.

I just feel sad that Manang doesn't talk about her family. She doesn't have a husband nor kids, but she helps her sisters and brothers. I want to get to know her family because I want to thank them for being nice to Manang. Thus, I will be inviting the whole family of Manang to Circles.

Circles is known for its good quality of food. I chose Circles because they have different cuisines which I want Manang and her family to try. Also, I want to bring her there because they have open-theatre kitchens which Manang will sure love. Manang is a very good chef. Until now, she still cooks the best home-food. Nothing beats her kare-kare (according to my sister because I don't eat kare-kare), bbq and a lot more. My cousins and all the other relatives who have eaten at our place tell me the same thing. I Manang and her family will enjoy.
