Little Asia on a Good Friday

Hard-bound menu folder of Little Asia. Inside you'll see mixture of cuisines across Asia so it is aptly called
Symphony of Flavors.

It was Good Friday of 2011 when Jenney, Jeff, Arnel and I went to have our festive dinner here at Little Asia after paying our last respects to our batchmate's grandmother at La Funeraria Paz in Quezon City. Jenney, a dear friend of ours drove us around Timog and Tomas Morato to look for a restaurant to cater our hungry choosy stomachs. We opted to end the day on a good gastronomic note to compensate for the dietary restrictions brought about by the Holy Week. With just a handful of restaurants and cafes opened in Quezon City that night we finally hit LITTLE ASIA.  It was my second time to be dining at this restaurant. My first time was at their Greenhills branch in San Juan where we held our college barkada get together.

I love the colorful design of the dome above us. The painter and designer must have a god taste.

The place was unexpectedly crowded. There were a lot of guest that evening - maybe because few dining choices were left opened that particular day as most are observing the season of lent. I personally like their branch in QC because of the vibrant color it brings to the dining area. It was like red is all over the house flooding the walls and ceilings. I so like the color as it emanates fierceness, intensity and prosperity. 

We were seated on a long table where an air conditioning unit is nearby. Naturally, I asked one of the food servers to adjust the setting as I felt too chilly. I was disappointed when he told the group that it can't be adjusted. I knew for a fact that it can be adjusted as we do have the same ACU at work. The shivering me told him point blank but genially and he was obligated to adjust it. See! I was correct :)
