Rekado

The annual Christmas lunch of the clan was held at the Rekado restaurant at the BGC Stop Over in Fort Bonifacio.  We chose the place because of the reasonable price (we had a budget of P500 per person), the wide parking space at the basement and the consistent quality of the food.  I myself had not yet tried the restaurant, but I was assured by friends that we would enjoy the meal.

As Christmas lunches would be, we had an excess of everything, enough for take-home packs to be raffled off amongst the cousins!  We started with tahong crisps for appetizers, and went on to more delicious stuff--roasted chicken, gising-gising, sisig, kare-kare, kaldereta, and pancit!  Desserts were aplenty--leche flan, mais con hielo, and different kinds of kakanin.

I enjoyed the meal.  The food was served fresh off the stoves, and the quality was good, both in taste and in presentation.  The ambiance was bright and cheerful, and the lunch had a picnic-like atmosphere to it--we were just one of four big groups dining in the restaurant.  We finished the affair with lots of picture-taking, and as usual, the goodbyes took a good part of an hour.
