Manduca Taberna

I took a leave from work today hoping I would be able to consult two (2) of my doctors. The cardiologist is not available; my gastroenterologist is.  Her clinic supposedly starts at 2 PM; but she would be starting early, around 11 AM.

I was at her clinic at Makati Medical Center about 30 minutes earlier.  She interpreted the results of my lab test, adjusted some medications, added fish oil as a supplement.

I am not sure I would be able to attend the Mass at Sto. Niño de Paz Greenbelt Chapel; but, I have rosaries I'll ask the priest to bless.  So after my consultation, I went to the Greenbelt Chapel.  Aside from being able to attend the Mass, I prayed the rosary as a part of the community.

The Mass presider is Fr. Benny.

The ministry of Jesus is preaching and healing.  At Jesus' time, sicknesses then are considered manifestations of sins.  Thus, curing sickness is curing the body and the soul.

Not everyone who approached or touched the Lord is healed.  Touch is more than physical, it is about faith.  Connecting with faith, we are rewarded by Jesus with grace.

After the Mass, went to Mary, Mother of Hope Mission Station--Landmark Chapel in hope to gain a plenary indulgence.

I then decided to buy all my medicines before taking my late lunch.  Went to Mercury Drug at The Landmark.  Then to Healthy Options at Glorietta.

Was thinking of trying the Paul Le Cafe at One Ayala.  Learned that this branch does not offer meal, only pastries and coffee.

So, its Manduca Taberna instead.

The waitress suggested paella, steak or sandwiches.  Opted for the paella (but this will take 35 minutes preparation).  Their popular paella are Black Paella, Seafood Paella, and Pork and Chorizo Paella.  Chose the Pork and Chorizo Paella.

Initially, there is nothing special about it.  But the more you eat (slowly), it grows on you.

On my way back to the car, I decided to try the 10 Yen King.  Every weekend, there is a queue in the stall.  Today, I am second in line.  😅  Their popular item is the Trio.
