I love my alone time.
It’s quite sad to know that some people assume that being alone means being
lonely. For me, spending some time with one’s self is proof that you are not
dependent on people to do things. I know some people who can’t eat alone. Some
can’t even go shopping alone. Well, I have been through that phase too. And
yes, saying, “Table for one, please” still makes me giggle.
While walking around
Rockwell to canvass some items for work, I passed by the strip of restaurants
and realized that I was famished. Given, I haven’t had breakfast yet and it was
already 1 p.m. that time. I was thinking of having a light snack at some coffee
shop but realized that it’s such a waste if I don’t try something new. So after
some thought, I decided to visit…
Franco’s.
The place is pretty
charming. (Fine, I like wooden tables and cute chairs.)
After a quick look at
the menu, I decided to go for the Pumpkin Soup (PHP120), Grilled Salmon (PHP350),
Crème Brulee (PHP160) and Butterfly Iced Tea (PHP90). Yes, I wanted a light
lunch.
The pumpkin soup was
served first and it was deeelightful! It was creamy and it had a great balance
of sweetness and saltiness. I finished the whole bowl in less than five
minutes.
