I haven't been to SM Food Court for a really long time. I can't remember anymore when was the last time I was there. But two Saturdays ago when AJ and I were doing errands at SM Makati I asked him if he'd like to have lunch there. Am glad he said yes. Look what we found: It's Ted's old time la paz batchoy!
