Filipinos don't need much of a reason to gather around food. But
balikbayan (returning countrymen) family and friends are always an excuse to eat at the best restaurants. So when a friend from college visited from Canada, a group of us got together at a
teppan or
hibachi room of Kimpura, one of the oldest Japanese restaurants in Metro Manila. You can see some of my friends reflected in the mirrored walls.
See what's reflecting what at James' Weekend Reflections.

Looks delicious. What are the three things on the hibachi to the right of the mountain of rice?

Mme la Vache, who lived in Japan for 15 years, came running to see this!
A couple of things: 1) this is a heart-warming photo of a reunion of sorts; 2) this is a superb composition.
Overall, a delightful photograph that in the end spikes my appetite!
Have a wonderful Easter weekend, Hilda!
What a wonderful proof that food indeed keeps bodies, minds and souls together.
Please have a wonderful start into the weekend.
And here I am thinking about dinner and it won't be as good as that looks, I'm sure.
Oishi so! Delicious photo, Hilda! I met four women in our nearby French cafe' today. They were surprised to hear me speak Japanese to them.
Sayonara Hilda-san! Genki de ne!
Great sense of family and fellowship, centered around gathering and food. Nirvana as far as I'm concerned! Enjoyed reading the "No mass" post. If you can only stop by once, visit GDP on Sunday. See an interesting iconostasis!

What a nice picture ! I love japonese restaurants and food and the fact that the cook is preparing the food in front of you !
Konichiwa Hilda-san!
Looks yummy! Nice reflection shot.
A fun picture.
Nice that there is a special word for returning countrymen.
Almost lunchtime here, but my meal would be a bit more Mediterranean than this.
A very good portrait of the cook (?) and some nice glimpses of the gathering of your friends.
Yum! I love Teppan-yaki!
How unique! And it makes me hungry as well.
A wonderful composition - the way you framed the chef between the two reflections. Great picture! Except now I'm hungry.
Mmmmm now I'm starving!
The food looks delicious. It's wonderful to see the food prepared right in front of you like that. Have a great Easter Sunday.
Right. It isn't quite supper time yet but I am off to the kitchen! ;-)
Fantastic! I like your chef!!
Yumm!! I'd love to be reflected in that glass. sounds so good and looks like you are all having a great time as well as great food.
This is the tastiest reflection of the week. :) I love this type of restaurant. A dinner, a cooking show and reflections. :)

It's gindara, cod fish. Though what particular variety, I have no idea.
Looks so yummy, Hilda. And beautiful reflections on the mirrored wall.
Yummilicious foods to Enjoy with Friends. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
looks yummy, did you know you were taking the reflection or you just took it by accident?
just in time for our break time.
I didn't realize those were mirrors until I read your post!
This is a very interesting Weekend Reflections photo. The meal looks delicious. I imagine you had a wonderful time with your friends.
