When our cook takes the day off, we eat out. Neither my hubby nor I cook and she takes a lot of days off so we end up eating out a lot. Last December, she took a 3-week vacation. As if 5-6 days off a month wasn't enough. I don't even deduct these days off from her salary. Considering how difficult it is to find trustworthy helpers, we pretty much grin and bear it.
So one such mealtime last December we headed for TGIFriday's along Tomas Morato. It's located on the ground floor of Hotel Rembrandt. It sort of reminds me of the TGIFriday's on the ground floor of Holiday Inn at The French Quarter in Louisiana. I went on a business trip (I was 20-something then) and had dinner with my uncle there. They had Louisiana specials like Gumbo and Jambalaya, just like we have our own local favorites like Fridays Pork Adobo and Filipino Pork Liempo. I wonder if that TGIFridays in the French Quarter is still alive. The time I was there was way before Hurricane Katrina drowned Louisiana.
Hubby and I were tired of all the rich party foods last December so we decided to start our dinner with a light salad, Shanghai Chicken Salad. Slices of fire-grilled citrus chicken breast are tossed with romaine lettuce, mandarin oranges, diced tomatoes, and low-fat cilantro lime dressing. It's super refreshing, we liked it a lot. The citrusy non-creamy dressing was just what we needed to break from all the high-fat fare we had been having during the holidays. Read more »

Anyhow we settled into a booth and perused the menu.
