Mama's 90th birthday cake

This is a mango cake.

Mama's birthday

The house was all lit up for a family dinner on Mama's birthday. Nonong and Boie and their families left early and the rest of us, including my 90-year old mother, were all up till 1 am just talking and laughing. My mother remembers every single child's birthday. Her mind is still very sharp.

Lola's birthday party

The family went to Marco Polo Hotel to enjoy a buffet dinner. We reserved a room with two long tables.

Grilled mackerel

The fish was wrapped in foil with tomatoes, onions and garlic and then placed on the grill.

Another kind of seaweed salad

Seaweed mixed with vinegar, tomatoes, onions and ginger.

Jackfruit salad

This is boiled unripe langka or jackfruit mixed with coconut milk, bell pepper, onions and tomatoes.
