Happy Birthday Tita Simang!

It was Thursday afternoon when Tita called me to cook dishes for her birthday on Sunday. Not that I'll be the one cooking, but people from the coffee shop. Then, she'll hold her party at our place na daw.

Nag-panic agad ako!!! The family are not good cooks but they are definitely food critics. For every occasion, Mommy would set a menu just for the family and will not get from the prepared menu selections of the coffee shop. And Mom was at Bangkok when Tita called me up. Party is on Sunday lunch, Mom's coming back on Saturday, and I have to do the marketing on Friday. So I prepared a flexible menu, and will be waiting for Mom's approval come Saturday. Scheduled menu was suam na mais, lengua estofado, pork caldereta, chicken teriyaki, inihaw na tilapia with steamed okra and eggplant with bagoong, laing, sotanghon, buko pandan and chilled fruit cocktail, and black gulaman for drinks. Pasado naman ang menu ko. Mom just changed the inihaw na tilapia to fried tilapia and the chilled fruit cocktail to ginataang mais. Mom added paksiw na bangus, steamed tilapia, sapin sapin and bibingka.
The family are big eaters and they ate a lot. Patok naman ang menu namin. Tita brought shrimps so we had a lot of take home pa.Happy naman ang birthday celebrant and her family. Syempre ang guests din happy!Summer had fun playing around with her cousins. She loved the cake! She ate a lot of cake - a serving of chocolate cake and a lot of serving of sansrival.I just have to post a photo of what she was wearing that day. It's not new but I can just see myself in her that day. Wearing rubber shoes, denim skirt, and still running around like a boy.

Happy birthday Tita! Salamat po sa tiwala nyo sa akin for preparing the menu for the family na mahirap pakainin ehehehe.
