Mom Violy decided to make the lunch be at Manam Comfort Filipino inside Robinsons Magnolia.

Mom Violy ensured she arrived early to secure the reservation, making sure we could hold our spot as the restaurant only allowed four people. She had invited Edna to join us for lunch and had already pre-ordered the food she wanted to enjoy with her friends.

The palabok didn't turn out as expected, partly because the noodles were already cold while Tita Edna was making comments and taking a video. It's usually not like this when it's served fresh. Regardless, the palabok still tasted the same. Meanwhile, Carmina noticed a new dish on the table—Butterflied Pla Pla (tilapia) with Buto and Mustasa.
