Dad’s Lasallian Achievement Award

“Chef Gene Gonzalez”, that’s what dad opted to be called rather than his whole name like all the others. It was really cool to see dad stand out from all the awardees. One, he was the only one wearing a chefs uniform and two, he was the youngest among all the awardees. Last Friday, we all went to DLSU to be with dad when he received his award.

Hehehe, I haven’t actually seen the billboard, but I’ve seen the commercial. My dad will be receiving a Lasallian Excellence award on Friday so this month has been pretty cool for him! I’m proud so of him! :)

And it was only a few years ago when we’d be walking at a mall and people would walk up to him and talk to him…then he’d look at me and say, “Did they actually call me Chef Gene?” hehhe. Dad’s always down-to-earth. Heheh anyway, I just felt like writing it down. And sticking the picture on the page. :)

And yes, mas masarap and corned beef with RICE!

Trip to the Ice Cream Parlor

After our food trippin’ at Izakaya Kikufuji last Friday. My brother, China, Mig and I headed over to rockwell to try out their FIC Ice Cream Parlor for dessert. I wished I saved more room. The ice creams all looked so good!

This wengue and cream place combines some fun and funk in their interiors and decor. The ice cream parlor actually looks like a modern italian coffee place like Segafredo. Well anyway, enough of the interiors.
