Social media has greatly
influenced humanity in our global community. We have the netizens who painstakingly
observe the events transpiring over the world wide web. Take for example being
tagged by your facebook friends of their whereabouts, recent activities and my
favorite, food.
I made a commitment to seriously
count my calorie intake and get with my fitness. However there are times that
my commitment is broken take for example last night when my good friend, Jayson
Joyce tagged me of an exotic sounding entree only upon perusal that it was from
a newly opened French restaurant.
And so together with my best bud,
Michael, our curiosity led us to this quiet and cozy place called Au Francais
(pronounced as Oh-Fron-say, which I had trouble saying) located at F. Torres
street, cor. Pardo Tavera st, just after Phoenix Gas Station. Dress
inappropriately in shorts, we were greeted by the welcoming owners, Bonjour!
which took me some time to process and replied: “hello”. Due to the ongoing
typhoon, there were only two customers around. We were directed to our dining
area and seated comfortably. The place was filled with French posters and to
add up to the ambiance, foreign songs are aired which brought back old movie
memories, Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant and so much more. Because of our
supposedly commitment to fitness, we only ordered a few entrée and a salad. And
since the Europeans enjoy alcohol, we tried a serving of their Mojito – minty
and with a hint of alcohol.

Our food started with food
compliments – Liver Spread which gave me a morbid recollection of my medical
school days and from watching Hannibal.

Then came our salad, Tomato and
Avocado which surprisingly the vegetable bits came in crunchy and the cucumber
tasted well.
