Turn of the century modern

This is the front of Crisostomo, the restaurant of chef Florabel Co where we celebrated my husband's birthday last year with a full-course Filipino meal. Reflected in its windows are the umbrella tables of a neighboring coffee shop, the palm trees in the plaza of Eastwood Mall where the restaurant is located, and one of the many high-rise condominium towers which completely surround it.

See what's reflecting what at James' Weekend Reflections.

    Great place and excellent reflections. An apt name, Crisostomo comes from the Greek for Golden Mouth....

    Happyyyyyyyy! Oh, I'm so glad you found me here. Of course I remember you. I only have my baking site left in the multiply world. I'm pretty much in here and in facebook. It got pretty boring in there and there wasn't much going on anymore.

    This was my hubby's idea to have my own site to keep myself busy, like taking care of 2 kids is not busy enough. LOL!

    I'm your follower now :-) This is really not my main blog. I made this coz I'm learning to take pictures with my new cam. My main blog is the Clairebakescakes.

    I'm so happy you said hi :-) Take care and nice too see you again as well.

    Cool! There's a guy in the reflection that looks like he could be sitting inside enjoying his meal. The link to the traditional Filipino meal was great!

    Very nice shot Hilda. I remember the food that you posted last year. It really does look like a nice place. I've never seen a restaurant around here that serves Filipino food. :(
