Azure Cafe

I went to Azure Cafe by my lonesome today. Mimi has been busy and Eric, who was visiting us and processing his clearance, was not also ready to take lunch yet.

I ordered Chicken Relleno, one of the lunch of the day. It's basically, chicken with stuffings where ground pork, and chicken meat are mixed together with bread crumbs, onions, pepper and carrots. When it is served, some mushroom gravy is poured on top to enhance its flavor. The lunch of the day included a cup of rice, sauteed vegetables composed of baguio beans and carrots and a dessert, a banana cake.

The Chicken Relleno was quite good and tasty. Chunks of chicken, the white meat portion remained intact and cooked soft and flavorful. The accompanying vegetables were cooked medium rare thereby keeping the crunchiness of the carrots and beans. While browsing through todays newspaper and having my lunch, Mimi and Eric followed me in Azure. They ordered their lunch and came to sit with me in one corner of the cafe.

The banana cake was not as good as I thought it should be. It was plain and dry. It could be saved if some cream or icing where drizzled on top of it. But, why should I complain, it was a freebie with the lunch menu.

Mimi talked about her bitchiness with Jimmy, our company driver, last Friday when Jimmy failed to give back to Mimi her car keys. Jimmy was already in Bulacan when he realized he got Mimi's car key with him. He called to tell Mimi and if its possible to drive her car to her place the following day instead. Mimi refused to take Jimmy's offer and asked Jimmy to come back to the office right away to return her key. Poor Jimmy!

Eric talked about his new job and its new challenges which he found quite interesting. He also related to us, which of our employees are currently active in searching for opportunities outside so we have a good heads up who are in danger of giving their resignation letters soon.

We ended our lunch while I pay Php210.00 or US$4.66, with a can of soda to accompany my lunch meal.
