For those nights when you just don’t want to cook.
No photos,
I usually don’t cook on Thursday night.
So went to our neighborhood’s version of Cheers and picked up for carryout:
Blackened Grouper with Crawfish Etoufee on top and Shrimp Tacos with mango Salsa. Side salads with bleu cheese dressing.
While there had a double Hendricks Martini and sampled the “green” dish for St. Patrick’s which was a chicken pasta Florentine.

A brand new local pizza place just opened up I feel like it’s a clone of Pizza Hut. They do a very similar pizza with a little better ingredients. They even do garlic butter crust. Nothing impressive, but since it had 0 ratings, 0 reviews, just opened I felt like I wanted to try it.
It’s summer in the Philippines, and the heat really got to me on the golf course; so I felt too drained to cook dinner (I’ve been cooking dinner Saturday nights since the beginning of pandemic lockdown of Metro Manila). Thus, we ordered a relatively light Japanese dinner of anago sushi, tempura (prawns, cuttlefish & sweet potato), and cold soba. No saké, beer or any other alcohol with dinner as nobody felt like having any. I had a Coke Zero instead.

Looks really good. Yea, with the heat sometimes light dinners feel good.
Sounds / Looks amazing… rich, but hopefully that vinaigrette lightened it up.
They used to do it with Confit Duck Gizzards rather than duck leg and then add a coddled duck egg on to at the table that you mix in as part of the dressing. Talk about rich!
I mean… I’m not mad at that either! We just need to roasted bone marrow on the side

Where is that? Was it a wine dinner, or the winery (I see a Walter Hansell menu?)?

Thanks. Yes, usually lighter fare during summers.

During dinner sometime this past week, my 2nd son mentioned that he came across an interesting looking supplier of HK-style roast goose and roast duck; and that said supplier delivers on Saturdays. I told him to order a goose for dinner this past Saturday so we could try it out. It was quite good, all things considered.
Wow that looks epic!

It was surprisingly good, especially since it was a delivery. In my experience, delivered roast items are just decent at best.
Asians know how to pack food for delivery
