This last week was really a down-time from all our adventures. Cecil and I met for lunch and later at the mall for dinner, shopping, and a movie. Enjoyed a very nice seafood restaurant in the Island Center Mall (ICM) twice. One meal I had milkfish which is excellent. I think it is called "the poor man's lobster," but I could be wrong. The second time I had grilled squid. Each meal is served first with a cabbage soup, the fish served with grilled veggies, and a creamy, lime jello dessert afterwards. The atmosphere is Japanese, modern, minimalistic.
In the mall we stopped for a snack called Halo-Halo (see pic). This would really go over well in the US. It is delicious and healthy. They serve a scoop of icecream with a mixture of nuts, berries, bananas, other fruits, and bits of toffey over shaved ice.
I am still really enjoying my time here in the Philippines with Cecil, though I also look forward to seeing the US again and eating American food. :) Plus starting RN school June 15th. I return June 3rd.
Will post more pics when I get my film developed!
