We have been very strict with ourselves vs eating out even with the easing of restrictions. Covid-19 is very much around and we are very aware of the risk involved given that many other people might be carriers or so-called super spreaders. And so we take note of where we might be able to have meals out. The first time we did so was lunch at Mary Grace at SM East Ortigas. That was when Metro Manila first went into GCQ or General Community Quarantine. This time, we decided to eat at Cafe Mediterranean at Estancia Mall at the Capital Commons. Having gone there previously for errands and purchases, we have seen that there was usually less people at this mall. We also had missed eating at this restaurant that also 'proxied' for the Indian or Persian food that we like to eat from time to time.

| We decided early on to eat at Cafe Mediterranean as we missed their food, which was also the closest to the Indian or Persian food we love to eat. |
 |
| Beef kebab with basmati rice |
 |
| Chicken kebab with rice pilaf |
 |
| They also had these hummus bowls but we decided to order only the appetizer version. |
Cafe Mediterranean's layout at the mall was like al fresco with tables spread out to comply with the physical distancing requirements. Other restaurants also had similar set-up and like what I mentioned earlier, it was not at all crowded at the mall so you wouldn't have to deal with so many people like how it is at SM, Robinsons or Ayala malls.
[Note: We discovered that Cafe Mediterranean donates part of its revenue for the welfare of Syrian refugees. We thought this was a worthy cause and hopefully they can continue to do so in these challenging times for business.]
