A Gastronomic Experience...

I love food so much and one of my favorite dish is the butter chicken. Back in New Zealand there is an Indian food stall that has the best butter chicken I have ever tasted. It's creamy, a little bit spicy, tangy and sweet.

When we moved here in Adelaide the very first thing I did was to look for an Indian food stall or restaurant that offers a butter chicken similar to the one in New Zealand. I thought I will never find one but I did :)

The restaurant is called Royal India and it's along Woodville Road. It's close to home and transportation would not be a problem for me in case I crave for some Indian food ;). The butter chicken there is very nice compared to the others that I have tasted. But the vegetarian dish Malai Kofta is the best! The taste of this dish is the same as the butter chicken in New Zealand only that this has potato and cottage cheese instead of chicken. Yummy!

Thanks Daddy for giving in to my desire! I know that you are really not a curry lover person but you still took me there. I truly had a great evening :)

And he said so...

Let me described to you plain and simple my first born child...A Happy Go Lucky person. Indeed, that's my "Kuya" (that's what we usually call him at home)!

I was surprised (very actually!) yesterday when I heard his comment about his sister's opinion. My daughter asked me and her brothers what would be our wish if Genie is real. My youngest said that he will wish for infinite times to beat his big brother in basketball...mine is world peace...hehehe...then my daughter said that she wanted to have a never ending wish. She will wish for a unicorn, a toy and so on and so forth...then Kuya said that this is boring. I never expected him to say this because I thought that his sister's idea is cool. Out of curiosity, I asked him why he made a remark like that and this is what he told me..."It is boring to have never ending wish because you will have no more options, nothing else to do if you have everything".

Good on you Kuya! Hope you will always remember mine and your dad's constant reminders. Always keep in mind that material things will only give you temporary joy and pleasure. Be a good boy always and stay cool...mwah...

Just trust HIM...

So many horrible things happened this past few days... typhoon and flood in the Philippines, tsunami in Samoa and earthquake in Indonesia. In times like this we cannot blame people, especially those greatly affected, for questioning God why He let these things to happen.

Lord, may Your light shine upon those people affected by these calamities. Make them feel Your love and presence. Give them strength to move forward.

These natural calamities (and illnesses) are things impossible to control but I know that with You anything and everything is possible...

All things work out for our good
Though sometimes we don't see how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what is best for us
His ways our not our own
So when your pathways grow dim
And you don't see Him
Remember you are never alone

He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hand
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him
We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry
He is weaving you and me
To someday be just like Him

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart...
