Mother of Thousands/Mandarin Orange-Monday

We dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming - well, that’s like saying you can never change your fate.” ~ Amy Tan, The Hundred Secret Senses

Bluer than blue/SWF

And I never saw blue like that before
Across the sky
Around the world
You've given me all you have and more
And no one else has ever shown me how
To see the world the way I see it now
Oh, I, I never saw blue like that...

Appetizers @ Mongkok

I had a meeting near Santana Grove last week and decided to have an early dinner there before driving home.  U haven't been to Santana Grove and decided to join me for dinner.  Santana Grove is a cluster of restaurants and cafes along Sucat Road right beside Max's (if you're coming from SSHW) and ShopWise.  I remember there was a Starbucks, also a Yellow Cab Pizza, Tapa King, Jollibee, Chowking, Serye, Behrouz, Ice Monsters, Mongkok, plus a few others. 

We were walking towards Behrouz, a Persian restaurant, when U noticed Mongkok and asked if I have been there--I said, no.  My craving for jellyfish salad a few days before suddenly kicked in as U pulled me towards Mongkok to check out the menu.

Mongkok serves jellyfish salad so we decided to eat here.  We also shared a dimsum--tofu with shrimp puff, which was very good.  I love the cold jellyfish salad with century egg---couldn't get enough of this stuff!:p

More about Mongkok next week...getting hungry again!*LOL*

“Oh how the candles will be lit and the wood of worm burn in a fiery dust. For on all Hallow's Eve will the spirits come to play, and only the fruit of thy womb will satisfy their endless roaming.”  ~ Solange Nicole

All Saints' Day or Todos los Santos is celebrated in the Philippines today, November 1st.  Filipinos observe this day solemnly by visiting graves of dead relatives, offering prayers and flowers, lighting candles, cleaning and repairing graves.
