Kuya Marv brought us to his favorite restaurant in Marikina called "Luyong." It looks like an early version of Ma Mon Luk - very plain and spartan. But what it lacked in ambience, it made up for the food. Their pancit was excellent, and the tortang alimango was top notch.
Kuya is a "regular" in this restaurant, and waiters actually know him and what he orders. When Ate Bullet tried to order pancit miki, the waiter told her: "Hindi po yan ang gusto ni sir. Canton po ang gusto niya." Now that's service!
Aside from Father's Day, we were also celebrating the arrival of our eldest nephew, Jul. He flew in from the US last Friday and is spending his summer vacation here. With Jul in town, the "eldest kids club" was almost complete. Jul is Ate Lissa's eldest son, Kevin is Ate Bullet's eldest son and Princess is Kuya Marv's eldest daughter.
After that, we visited another father, our Dad's Dad to be exact. We went to Loyola to visit Lolo Iking. It's been 21 years since he passed away, but we still miss him dearly.
It was fun celebrating the entire day with the family. It's been ages since we all visited Lolo together. Jul was reminiscing how we'd go there when they were still little boys and girls - and now, the little boys and girl are all grown up.
And as the little ones grow up, we also have new little ones to bring along. If there's an "eldest group", here's the "youngest group." Javie is our youngest nephew and I'm the youngest in the brood.
It was definitely a wonderful Father's - and family - day today. We should have more days like this.
