Season 1, Episode 11 - CLUB

I always look forward to the Friday Food Club.

The essence of the informal gathering is just simple: food, pagkain, tsibog. It’s basically a weekly outlet for us to ‘de-stress’ from the tension and pressures after a vigorous week of work. Yung iba siguro, nagna-night out at nagpapakalasing until they puke their guts out. Well, we simply eat, talk and talk, have coffee...and probably get a massage after.

Yes, ganyan kami. Kung saan-saan pumupunta para lang sa pagkain; preferably, new and untested restos every week. One week, we can be in this really uber-posh restaurant like Ipar’s. Or on another week, we can simply dine at Larsian’s Mandaue with plastic bags on both hands at mag-aamoy uling pag-uwi.

Tulad na lang ng the other week, we simply had it in The Dessert Factory sa Ayala Center Cebu Terraces.

Generally, after dinner, the club does dessert or coffee. Like last week, sa Bittersweet dapat kami, kaso tinarayan ako ng waitress na magko-close na daw in 15 minutes. So sa The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf sa Robinson’s Cybergate ang bagsak namin.

Dahil naalala namin na sweldong pang rank-and-file lang kami, sharing desserts ang napagtripan. At kahit na it’s a coffee place, service water lang po ang pantulak namin.

Si G-String lang ang may kayang umorder ng kape.

Ito po ay sample ng isang FFC clubber. Parang klepto dahil hindi na makapaghintay kumain.

Once in a while, past members of the club would join us and catch up on things tulad na lang nitong si Minnie Gurl who flew in from Bacolod.

And in every FFC hang-out, palaging may undeclared rule yan: What happens in FFC, stays in FFC!

Silent Adventurer out!
