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.

Dine Out with Top Fan Auntie Lorie at Great Emperor Restaurant


On our California vacation this year Mom Violy and Carmina had plans to visit Top Fan Lorie in Seattle unexpected plans changed.

Top Fan Lorie had informed us she'll be visiting her family in the Philippines on the month of September to October.

We figured since we cannot see each other in the United States we can always catch up a bite to eat at Dampa.

Mom Violy and Carmina had planned our meet up making easier on her we went closer to her area.

Reality is Mom Violy and Lorie have been friends for quite a while since I was young.

Aunt Lorie said she was craving for seafood. Mom Violy suggested Dampa. 

Great Emperor is what someone recommended us to try. They serve Chinese and Fiipino dishes.


Mom Violy went to the market to purchase some crabs and Maya Maya fish.

Carmina waited for Auntie Lorie to arrive.

Our large crab was cooked with butter and garlic.

Mom Violy met some new friends also coming from the United States visiting their home town.


Just in case you want to try eating at Great Emperor recommended is to get smaller size crabs and fish cooked for stew rather than what Mom Violy shopped at the market.

Here is their menu:
