lunch at laya

i haven't been spending that much time with the bf as i should so after starting june right with a movie date (satc 2) come the first weekend of the month... we had another round of girl bonding time last saturday at a friend's private kitchen tucked in wonderful antipolo.

since there was two of us and there were two menu sets (laya signatures and laya favorites) available... we decided to get both and just share each dish as it came. perfect decision as we were able to taste and stuff ourselves with the best that laya had to offer ;)
