We picked up Marnie at the office, for it's almost lunch time break. We headed to Ka-Inato, Rizal Avenue. I learned that this restaurant is partly owned now by Ka Lui's owner, hence the "Ka" in its name. Took us some time to decide on what to eat.  This faucet really caught my attention. A closer look of the naughty faucet. Fresh Mango Shake for Marnie. As always, his all time favorite of all shakes! Fresh Guyabano shake for me and Mikyla.  Hail on these fresh fruit shakes!

Taste: 10/10 Another shot. I love triangular shape of...
