When we stayed at my mother's house for 3 years, Tone, the kids, and I began eating separately. I ate my meals in front of my computer, kids in front of the TV while Tone share his meals with his office peeps in the province. It felt as if we don't see each other at all. However, we made sure we eat out and bond every weekend.
Weekends are the most important time for my family. My mom brain relaxes just a bit and I can work on the blog while the little ones play as they wait for their father to arrive.
There is always something undeniably special about weekends that weekdays will never have. Family. Togetherness.
Not that I regret staying at my mom's house. We love the neighborhood as it is literally surrounded by awesome cafes and restaurants. And they are still popping up like mushrooms providing good food for the people.
There's this one charming place in Lilac we frequent for many reasons than just cravings. We've decided to give it a try after reading some positive reviews online. I rely mostly on zomato :)
Not only perfect for meetings and eating with communal tables and booths, a board game library is also provided so you can play to your heart's content.
Forget Me Not Cafe in Lilac is one of our go-tos when we needed to relax just a bit. And now they are branching out and sharing the goodness to everyone.
They've been in the business for 5 years but it took a while for them to branch out to a different location as it is more complex and challenging. Now finally Forget me Not opens another branch in Ayala Mall Feliz in Marcos Highway as
Cafe Perene.
The name Perene was actually a shortened version of perennial meaning "lasting for an indefinitely long time" and the foundation of a garden. It is almost similar to Forget Me Nots. They are planning to put another branch at Vertis North soon.
For this branch, they offer the usual offerings from their lilac branch like breads and pastries, cakes and cupcakes, smoothies, soups, salads, grilled sandwiches, and rice meals. My daughter's favorite pesto pasta from their Lilac branch sadly was not included during our food event in Cafe Perene. The best-seller Roast beef is still everybody's favorite dish. I absolutely love their soups and choco lava cake!
