My birthday lunch at Conti’s
Ah another year has been added to my age. Need not be so negative. A lot of things have happened and I am still reeling from the effects of my mother’s untimely demise in 2006, but life has to go on. Another year and I can no longer claim to be in the calendar. Perhaps when people say I’m too old, I can still claim to be within the lotto numbers. Conti’s is my current favorite restaurant (for a number of reasons, including their prices) and I decided to have a quiet lunch there with Noreen and her siblings (who were nice enough to bring food to my office for my coworkers). With the long queue at Conti’s, we took a little time for a photo op in the picturesque Bonifacio High Street.
Happy faces around happy food. Weng and Deng wait for their orders with great anticipation. I told them that the food at Conti’s was the best. Their smiles lingered even way after the meal.
Here’s the ribeye steak. This is actually half of an order. We got this only because the whole order was 240 grams and for one person this was rather large. The beef was medium rare and very juicy indeed. 
The picture is not very clear but very delicious, I assure you. For health reasons, I chose to eat fish. This is Conti’s version of Fish and Chips. The honey mustard sauce complemented the fish wonderfully. Its wondrous juices squirted out the minute you stick your fork into it. Who says healthy can’t be delicious?

you’re right there. but fish and chips are definitely more healthy than your average pinoy food, like pork adobo or papaitan.

Ehrrr, I’m not exactly sure fish and chips could be considered “healthy” by any standards (since they’re probably both deep fried in heart-clogging fat), but they sure do look yummy. Now, if they had been baked, healthy… yes.
I have this overwhelming curiosity… to ask if you’re related to any “Lazaros” in Malolos, Bulacan. I apparently have relatives there, but I was raised in Canada.
