Busyness is normal but unusually daydreaming of food while workload is neck-up is not a crime...it's good to recall some of the best tasting food I've encountered for the past weeks. I went to Iloilo last weekend and I so much enjoyed the local cuisine me and my friends feasted on. The hi-lights of the trip was the food served by Ninang Hilda Anibigno and our high-end dining experience (naka 2 bottles of red table wine kasi kami hehe) with the mayor of Alimodian at Breakthrough restaurant.
