See what's reflecting what at James' Weekend Reflections.
April 3, 2010
Hot off the griddle
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.
Looks delicious. What are the three things on the hibachi to the right of the mountain of rice?

ReplyDeleteMme 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.
ReplyDeleteOverall, 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.
ReplyDeletePlease 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.
ReplyDeleteOishi so! Delicious photo, Hilda! I met four women in our nearby French cafe' today. They were surprised to hear me speak Japanese to them.
ReplyDeleteSayonara 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!

ReplyDeleteKonichiwa Hilda-san!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! Nice reflection shot.
A fun picture.
ReplyDeleteNice that there is a special word for returning countrymen.
Almost lunchtime here, but my meal would be a bit more Mediterranean than this.
ReplyDeleteA very good portrait of the cook (?) and some nice glimpses of the gathering of your friends.
Yum! I love Teppan-yaki!
ReplyDeleteHow unique! And it makes me hungry as well.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful composition - the way you framed the chef between the two reflections. Great picture! Except now I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm now I'm starving!
ReplyDeleteThe food looks delicious. It's wonderful to see the food prepared right in front of you like that. Have a great Easter Sunday.

ReplyDeleteIt's gindara, cod fish. Though what particular variety, I have no idea.
Looks so yummy, Hilda. And beautiful reflections on the mirrored wall.
ReplyDeleteYummilicious foods to Enjoy with Friends. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteI didn't realize those were mirrors until I read your post!
