Mann Hann

More on our Friday Jang-Jang (an wandering adventure the purpose of which is not to do anything in particular, but to do something together).  From Kimpura, Kong, Gwam & I went to look at furniture in Our Home at the V Mall (formerly Virra Mall) to check out styles for Kong's new office at the ground floor of RSD Main.  We also went around Ace Hardware to get some batteries and fluorescent starters.  By the time we got to the ground floor, Kong and I looked at the new Hyundai Tucson while Gwammy went around Watson's Drug Store. My mistake thereafter was going to the SM Appliance store to check on air-conditioning units without letting Gwammy know our whereabouts.  After getting separated, we couldn't locate her for a good 30 minutes, and Kong was already feeling tired!  Luckily, he sat at the Viridian sales nook and the lady happily entertained his questions about the soon-to-rise residential condominium--that was a relief, he was able to rest and we were in a spot that was easily visible for Gwammy to find us.  By around 3pm I was already restless--I figured that she has gone to Unimart to do some last-minute shopping, so Kong and I left for Unimart.  What a big relief for us that she was there, almost done with her grocery list. Apparently she had tired feet at Watson's and thus chose to rest at the Greenhills chapel.

Happy that we found each other, we finished our shopping and moved on to have merienda at Mann Hann, along JA Santos St. in Little Baguio.  Kong had wanted to have some dimsum snacks, and the place was the perfect place in order for Anita, Anton and Monique to join us for a mid-day break.  I think we ate so much--duck misua soup, ma chang (flavored sticky rice),  siomai, ha kaw (shrimp dumplings, which unfortunately, Gwammy and Monique were not too happy about), beef ho fan (flat thick white noodles), ke kiam (chicken-pork-5 spice mixture wrapped in thin tofu and deep fried), plus some take-out of asado siopao for Louise & Kuya Noel (who joined us for an early dinner in Anita's house.  The tab ran up to P200 per head, but everyone had a little snack.  The night was topped by a visit to the nearby Mickey D for a late night dessert with the kiddie-widdies.  Yes, that was our thrilling and food-filled Friday Jang-Jang!
