“If the home is a body, the table is the heart, the beating center, the sustainer of life and health.”Shauna Niquist
We made the most of the opportunity that we can bond by eating together. Eating time is merrier if we are together and the food served made our heart full and satisfied.
We were very happy with our lunch as a whole family. This was a rare possibility to be eating outside due to the busy days that we have. Since this was a family bond, my sister-in-law made sure that we will be enjoying the time before they will depart back to the state where they live.
Reminiscing the Moment
My mother-in-law and my sister-in-law made me realize how important family is. We have eaten our early lunch at Kuya J restaurant. This place for me is perfect for family.
Upon our arrival, we were entertained nicely by their friendly and accommodating employees. They set a long table for us to be shared.
As I roamed around, I was astonished by their cozy and unique setup. Books are seen inside. Well arranged and good for all book lovers.
Family's Favorite Food
This is always our favorite, the crispy pata. The taste we will surely miss due to its crispy pork skin. This is best when paired with hot and spicy sauce. My children truly loved this and is always present in every family meal when eating outside.
For the soup lovers, this is perfect. Its taste penetrates the flesh that will truly be liked until the last bite. My husband loves puchero and this was his order. Sipping the hot soup gets rid of our dizziness from the trip that we have. The hot soup lessened the coldness of my body too.
The flavorful sotanghon is one of our faves. It is mixed with veggies and shrimp. This Filipino dish with tender noodles is craved by my mother-in-law.
The chop suey is one of the yummy orders as this is nutritious. It is appealing to our senses, with the veggies mixed well. I have chosen this order to keep food in balance.
Various kinds of foods were served on the long table to be shared by the family. Our children took their orders too. They never missed this moment not to ask their aunt regarding their chosen viand as they wanted their stomach to be satisfied too. They ordered spill roll and barbecue.
All these delicious foods were laid out on the table. We have a happy meal, a good talk, and a memorable bond that will last forever.
The happy smiles of the kids of being together
This bond is beneficial to our children. We have eaten nutritious foods and were shared with joy. It is through this bond too that they will learn the value of belongingness, unity, and love of the family. This made our relationship merrier and healthier. We have happy stomachs and a better relationship with the family.
We have taken a break to be merry and healthy physically, mentally, and socially through a family meal that will last forever.
