Dinner at Lucca

One of my friends, Eliza, recently celebrated her birthday and as I sent her my birthday greetings, we realized that it had been a really long time since we last saw each other. In fact, our group of friends all hadn't seen each other in a while. It was at that point that we decided we needed to organize dinner.

Since we all live in different parts of the city, we decided Ortigas would be the best place to meet up. Apparently, there's a relatively new section in Megamall - Fashion Hall - that has some new places to eat, including the legendary Michelan-star rated Hong Kong restaurant Tim Ho Wan. We didn't eat there, though. Instead, we had dinner at Lucca Bakery. The food here is quite affordable and most of us enjoyed what we got although Eliza's open-face omelet was more like a frittata.

There were only four of us, including Fred and Marie, but as we had not seen each other in a while, there was a whole lot of catching up to do and everyone had many stories to share. We ended up hanging out for more than three hours and if the place hadn't closed for the evening, we probably would still be there now. :) It was a great evening spent with great friends and hopefully, we get to keep our promise to see each other much more frequently than we have in the last couple of years.
