Team Lunch at Hainanese Delights

We had our first ever Team Lunch with my new BPO company one Saturday, and the group decided to have our lunch at Hainanese Delights at SM City Fairview.

Good thing it was about 10:30 AM when we got there, since there was eight of us and some were having a hard time as to what food to eat when we got to the counter, just imagine when there's someone behind our group. And salute to the person who was very patient waiting for our orders behind the counter. 

The rest of the crew are also very friendly and accommodating, always have smiles on their faces.

Just hoping they would have a bigger venue soon. 

A Bite of Both for only 110.00php

And I ordered the A Bite of Both meal, a pork and shrimp siomai with hainan rice (unlimited!). Consists of 3 pieces of pork and 3 pieces of shrimp siomai. So yummy, love the rice too.

Hainan rice or Hainan chicken rice originally came from Hainan, Southern China but was famously known in Singapore. Honestly, you can eat the rice even without viand. That's how good their rice are.

After having a meet and greet with the rest of our team, our Team Leader gave an additional treat as our dessert, an ice cream cake.

I love the concept of the ice cream cake, but it is so hard to slice it. We need to remove the strips of chocolate first to be able to slice it evenly. Unless, that's how they wanted it to be. Well, my team mate sliced the remaining part since I was having a hard time.

A little introduction of our team. My new team, My new Ohana (family, in hawaiian language). Looks like I have a very supportive Supervisor and colleagues to work with. A new pleasant working environment.

After I am done with all of the things that my children needs for the coming school year, I'll give them a treat as well. Though I don't know if my Bunso would like to eat here, since he is a big fan of Jollibee, Mcdo and KFC.

Another recommended place to eat out with family and friends. 

Giving them a Four Stars Rating!

Big Burgers from Zark's

I had my first Zark's burger experience when I was still working at Ortigas, it was delivered and I can't even remembered what I ordered back then (talk about memory gap).

I get to experience it once again last Saturday, after we (me and my wavemates from the new BPO company) graduated from our training and decided to have a little celebration.

I tried the Bourbon Burger of Zark's, a mushroom cheeseburger with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and a very big burger patty in barbeque sauce, though I was expecting that it would have a lot of mushrooms included, but it was not as I expected. Yes, though the burger was really good, I felt a bit disappointed only to see a few small mushrooms in it. 

My order was 145.00php and I just added 35.00php for my fries and iced tea, a total of 180.00php, not bad.

Though one order was served a bit late due to the cooking time required, but the service was good.

They are located at the Ground Floor of SM City Fairview Annex.

The Merlene Math Project: I learned from it too.

A few months ago my eldest started his session on Merlene Math at MSA Tutorial Center. And to my surprise, I learned something from it too. 

No, not about math, but I was able to discover something about Kuya Leo. I was surprised when the Teacher from MSA informed me that she attached something along with the worksheets that he needs to answer at home. When I read it a few steps as we got out of MSA, I looked at my son and asked if it is true. He just shyly smiled back and nodded. Yes, my son is not perfect, he was having difficulties in Math which I am not aware of.

And out comes the guilty feeling of a working mom, since I was working at Ortigas before on a graveyard shift, I think every time I would ask him if they have homework or if there is a lesson that he is having a hard time with, he is not really telling me everything. Maybe when he sees that I am already tired from work or sleepy when I got home, he would not bother ask for my assistance. 

So, after a heart to heart talk, we went back to the basics of Math. Though Kuya Leo had improved his Math skills I would still need to keep an eye on it. I would be able to provide more time for them this coming school year, since I am now working near from home. Yes, I sacrificed and gave up my high-paying job to a life changing salary. Who cares? I'd rather be with my kids when they need me. Agree?

Thank you MSA, I learned a lot from you too.
