My mom is a neverending song
in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being.
I may sometimes forget the words
but I always remember the tune.

Mother's Day
I sat across the table from Mom
Memories floated by
I looked at her and knew how blessed I had been in life
She had always been there
Never questioning
Always giving
Ever caring
Being Mom ...
We were having dinner at Felix - located in the swank Greenbelt 5
This new arrival at the tree-lined "outside" strip of the mall is starting to attract a loyal following
Enter a comfortable casually elegant dining niche
Here Chef Florabel Co ( chef to the stars) whips up a formidable array of wonderful Filipino-Continental fusion cuisine
Never confusing, always interesting, consistently delicious ...
The menu is marked by culinary interpretations of names of places and people that apparently are significant to the imaginative chef
Picture this:
Gen San - devilishly spicy tuna with garden saladMactan - grilled prawns with dried scallops, chili cucumber, radish and XO sauce served with brown rice risotto and green asparagus
Gaithersburg - braised short ribs with foie gras served with brown rice
And my most favorite of all ...
Farrah - foie gras fried rice
Not to forget the "must try" dessert -
Julia - a choco mani cake
(heaven for chocnut freaks like me)
Sounds interesting?
Looks interesting?
I recommend it
Truly worth a visit
Go
Have a wonderful dinner
And while you are at it,
Bump into some showbiz personas
(the grapevine says that Ben Chan of the Bench retail empire, as well as the Richard Gomez/Lucy Torres lovebirds are co-owners)
Fine dining
Great wine choices
A canopy of trees
And perhaps a glimpse of your favorite movie star
What better way to spend a special evening ...
(Happy Mother's Day Mom !)
