It all started with this online platform where we created this kind of friendship. I couldn't imagine how far we have gone but savor every moment when we're together.
The event we attended, which was the Bull or Bear: Philippine Debate 2023, has so much learning about Web3. The knowledge we have learned brought a great impact on our lives. After we fill our minds with those ideas, we then fill our hungry stomachs to a certain restaurant.
We started to leave the event area and go out of the mall. We walked for a couple of minutes and don't know where Sir Kim and others took us. Following them where they go was all worth it. Actually, I don't know the place so I keep an eye on them. The place has a lot of restaurants to dine in, and our eyes with full of excitement every time we passed by people having a good time with their friends.
The ambiance outside Ayala Mall seems like I had one when I was still working at SM Cebu City. We used to have a date with my boyfriend (my husband now) before and it feels like brings back the memory of when we still dating.
Then, this eye-catchy restaurant caught my attention since it's colorful and full of hugot quotes. It's the Boy Zugba.
Come join us!
The Interior
I was amazed by their interior as it has so many stickers of quotes about love. The lights were covered with colorful bottles of redhorse, wine, and others. It makes different shades of color. The restaurant was simply attractive to customers because of the food served.
While waiting for our order, Miss Raine Laluna, one of the speakers of the night, unexpectedly arrived together with her team. And had a short chitchat with Sir Kim and Indayclara.
The Food
We ordered two boodle fights and two pitchers of drinks. The presentation of the food was quite simple yet full of sumptuous viand. It feels at home and province-like food because of the steamed banana leaves, grilled seafood, grilled pork, kinilaw, fried seafood, crispy kangkong, chicharon, lumpia Shanghai, and others.
Look at that smile before eating.
Look closely at these foods. As of this writing, I can't resist, still my mouth waters as I imagined those moments when we had our dinner.
While eating, we had so much fun asking some questions to our hive friends. Indeed, it's tastier when shared with friends even with family. At this moment, I and Ma'am Haide brought with us our supportive husbands wherein patiently waiting for us outside the event area.
After the lavish meal, we have come to the exciting part, it's paying time! The accumulated bills round up to 3,290 divided by ten persons. Each of us has to pay 329 pesos or 6.03 USD. Since we are two with my husband, so we paid 658 pesos or 12.06 USD.
Thoughts to Ponder
It's not the amount of money we have paid nor the food we eat, it's the people who we are with. The bond as friends became closer and stronger. That's why I cling to a quote I bumped into, Good food and great company are life's simplest yet great pleasures. -Anonymous. Having a company with the same vibes hits differently.
That's it hive friends! I know it's a costly meal we have now, however, we deserve this as we're absorbing all the new learnings about Web3. Thank you for always supporting my blog and have a great day!
