Weekend lunches with family

Weekends are reserved for personal stuff including family get-togethers. We usually go to our parents' homes on Sundays and at times go out for lunch with my in-laws. When we do eat out for lunch, we usually go to the nearby mall where we have a lot of choices among the restaurants there. We have our favorites like Racks and Savory but we also try other restos. Usually, we go for those serving local dishes so that we can share the food and guarantee that we have a fulfilling meal.

Fresh buko "juice" or coconut water
Grilled squid, chop suey, pochero and grilled tuna belly
Not all restaurants are able to serve food the way we like it. We've had our share of soup being too salty or seafood not being grilled right (i.e., overdone or too rare). In some cases, we had to ask the staff to take back the dish for it to be done right. So far, all the restaurants have been gracious enough to correct the situation and we have not had a follow-up complaint after the first time we send our food back to the kitchen.

More on lunches and dinners later...
