I hope your friend can find some work soon, it is a tough global economy at the moment. It looks like this outing and the appealing dishes were a nice temporary distraction from life's problems.
Just a little friendly tip as you are a new ASEAN Hiver - We are all about engagement here, so I always check the comment history of those new to the community. I notice your comments are very shot, like "nice post," etc. If you engage in some longform comments and a little more engagement in general, you'll be contributing to the overall sustainability of Hive.
