I am not a vodka tonic person. I remember way back, a friend introduced me to beer and vodka, but no big deal. Last night, my order was preempted and was given vodka tonic. We had what seems as never ending bottles of Grey Goose Vodka.
L'Opera was perfect for a birthday celebration of a good friend. Parking was easy. Nice and quiet, we heard ourselves and surely everybody else around heard us. We had so much fun and laughter that I didn't get to really notice how my Steamed Sea Bass w/ Lobsters were. I liked my Panacotta and coffee..but I always taste my desserts more :)
These friends and meals started the Tsukiji lunch, last night's L'Opera and Monday's dinner at Tivoli!
Next days will be busy for me at IFEX so...ok ok...good things comes in 3s too...so after Tivoli, we rest our tummies but our hearts and minds will be so healthy...ehem, not obese please.

Food & Friends
The simplest foods and surroundings are the best comfort zones one can get when shared with "who cares what they say" company.
Working social events may serve the best and the freshest...but it doesn't count in memory banks because the people you can really laugh with aren't there.
Lunch at Tsukiji Pasay Road the other day was different. Friends from the 1970s (although we never lost touch) had lunch. Impromtu calls make it easier to snap up schedules together.
Yes, Tsukiji does have good food...but what I am trying to say is....you deposit it in your heart when paired with friends.
Between the five of us: several bottles of cold sake, hamachi sashimi pls! staple salmon sashimi, grilled prawns, seaweed salad, wagyu steak of course and fresh fruits to cap it.
The bonus with friends? No need for intelligent conversation. The song of Billy Joel (yes 1970s) comes to mind..."don't go changing..."
Why did I write this today? Because we are meeting up again tonight at L'Opera at The Fort.
