Yesterday lunch excursion at FOB Kitchen in the Oakland Temescal District💥 ( 52nd/Telegraph) was indeed a gastronomic success. There were 9 THD residents💚who attended and chaperon by Teresa Nudo(THD Activity) with Joseph Woo, our van Driver. We ordered family style at my suggestion.  I ordered chicken adobo, garlic fried rice, Shanghai lumpia( 2) and Vegetable lumpia( 2), lechon kawali, pansit sotanghon( 2), mushrooms and tofu siarciado  For dessert we have Turon( with jackfruit) with ube( purple) ice cream and Mango rice Cake. 

I ordered an extra pancit and lumpia (egg rolls) that I was able to bring after lunch to the Front Desk.  I hope Emma, Deanna. Cydney, Galen  and Barbara and others were able to taste/sample what we residents 💚brought for them.   

This lunch had been planned since last month with Galen💘. For personal reasons Galen was not able to attend and Teresa took over her hosting duties. Based on comments from the lunch excursionist residents, everyone enjoyed the lunch very much. Most of them thank me for organizing the event.  

In general the main dishes were great, however what was outstanding was the Food Presentation and the Dessert. Here are some photos I took during this lunch excursion.

         

One of the Dessert I enjoyed very much is the Rice Cake with slice Fresh Mangoes

Here are some photos taken By Teresa:
