well, ok, not forever, but certainly felt like it. Frencel I've known for about 19 years now, and Kuri for 17 years, give or take. Some of my old friends like Kuri works outside the country now so we can't usually get together but when we do, it always feels like we just met the other day. It always is fun to talk about people we've known in the past, all the drama and excitement and foolishness of our youth. Ahhh.. bittersweet. We might have changed physically but as Frencel have said: " nothing has changed, there's always this risk of getting thrown out of a restaurant for being so noisy, lol"
So the last time (01.17.11, i know late post. been bitten by the laziness bug again the past several weeks, so I'm back blogging hehe), we went to this restaurant The Frazzled Cook somewhere in Mandaluyong after a brief scuffle on whether to just eat inside the mall (Kuri's preference) or look for this yet another quaint dining place ( Frencel's idea), in the end though, as usual, Frencel won without much argumentation. It was actually just a case of arguing for the sake of arguing cos all three of us knows Frencel is gonna have his way no matter what. But to his credit, the place is really, really nice. Good atmosphere, and thank God the place was nearly empty or we would really have been thrown out cos we were literally all over the place. It was such a rollicking moment. And the food's great too ( we found out the resto we've been to before and liked, Fat Michael's, had already closed down but that the chef moved on to become Chef and Co-owner of Frazzled Cook ).
I always liked restaurants that are not like typical restaurants. I prefer a homey atmosphere, lots of books in it, lots of wood and iron furnitures, preferably. And in Frazzled Cook, they've got the homey atmosphere down pat, albeit they're far from being shabby. Oh so far from it. What I liked about it the most is they have the most amazing eclectic mix of chairs that would remind you of Victorian houses. I swear no two chairs are the same. Plenty of interesting bric-a-bracs on the shelves, and old books too. As Frencel said, when he saw Wuthering Heights on a shelf, he took it as a good sign we were on the right place. Even the restroom have lots of magazines. I just loved it. Ok, so enough with the glowing words. Here are some pics:
