Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly.

Fresh Durian from Antipolo, Philippines


Carmina had entered the home she is living at the first thing she can smell was aroma that can fill up the rooms downstairs.

For the first time Carmina was able to try and see how the durian taste like it has a milky texture with not much fruit to get the seed can be eaten only by cooking it.

We had received twenty pieces of durian fruit with seeds in one piece.

Yes, you can eat the seeds of the durian not advised to eat it raw needs to be cooked.

Tip:

I heard drinking soda with fresh durian is really good something my family does.
