So twenty days after my birthday is Jeff's big sister's birthday. Their family decided to celebrate it in my neck of woods here in Antipolo when Jeff suggested Vieux Chalet. I was surprised they even decided to stay in their hotel, St. Moritz Inn.

Vieux Chalet is owned by the Hassig family. I know two of their kids because we went to the same high school. True to it's word, the place is very nice. It's pretty old and really has a European feel. And the food tastes good too. No, not good, it tastes great!

Pumpkin soup. It has a rich and creamy flavor. It goes well with the crunchy side dish (it looks like chicharon or something) served with it.
