Brunch

Usually on a Sunday, we only have our cups of hot coffee and 2 pieces of bread for breakfast.
This morning, I, my son, and my sister went to the city proper to participate in the Holy sacrifice of the mass. We had the intention to have our brunch-out. Besides, my sister wanted to visit the newly-opened super mall so after mass, we rode on a tricycle and went there.
We just looked at the different stores inside (window shopping), and as expected, all the restaurants were full of people. No vacant tables, so we opted to have our brunch in the city proper (the mall is far from the city proper).
We had these meals shown in the picture; I and my son had a glass each of lemonade while my sister had the iced tea. It was a surprise too that we were the only ones who ate there; apparently, many people went to the super mall for lunch.
Some other time, I hope the three of us will have our meals there, or we can just wait for my big brother when he comes home for a 3-week long vacation on December.

@YrNemo really? so, your meal was way more expensive than what we have had here. $70 is already having an appliance.

yes. we were already hungry that time because we had so light breakfast in that morning. when we went home, we got hungry again at 2PM, so we ate some instant noodles that my son prepared.

I wake up pretty late on sundays and left with only Brunch options. I have to cook them by myself.

a brunch is good especially if you are in a quiet environment. the stomach gets filled. usually, our brunch here is at 10-10:30AM.
