Sunday with the family

My Dad has this habit of eating at the same restaurant over and over again until we beg and badger him to eat somewhere else, in which he obliges and brings us to another restaurant we can eat in for the next year or so... Get the cycle?

We used to eat in Wok Inn all the time every time we'd visit Baguio (very often once upon a time). For my Dad, there was no other restaurant in Baguio but Wok Inn. When he found out that they had a branch in Park Square in Makati, I was forced to eat there many, many times after school because it was nearby. But then graduations and other schools happened so my we stopped eating there. Until today.

About a month ago, I discovered another branch in Pasig and I knew I had to check it out to see if it was the same Wok Inn from Baguio and Park Square. Fortunately, it was. I knew this would make my Dad so happy so I told him about the branch and that's where we ate lunch today. I'll deal with the annoying restaurant repetition later.

Again, why did I forget to bring my CAMERA!

The top 2 things we always order:

Sipa. Sort of like lumpia but shaped like a sipa.

Stuffed Squid. It's all about the sauce. Yum. I'll see you again next week!

After lunch, we headed to Philtrade as we often do and checked out antiques. He needed an easel and had reserved a perfect one for a painting he bought. My sister and I saw some really cool stuff we wanted our Dad to buy but he wouldn't budge! 

I wanted the blue one to be my bathroom door.

Vintage evening purses!!!

Old jewelry. Pendants, earrings, rings and combs!

My sister fell in love with this chair which costs 25K. It really is nice though.

R, I found a wooden trunk for you!

Different sungka boards. My Dad hates sungka. He says it's malas that's why we never had a set nor played the game growing up.

Vintage rings from Mexico.  Okay. These just HAD TO BE BOUGHT. I didn't want to leave without them! But I had to buy it using my money because my Dad said I already could anyway. Pfffft. The dealer is my Dad's good friend, so she gave me a huge discount (400 for both nalang!).
