My good friend Mano asked if I could help take some photos for his friend Ken who just acquired the Garden of Fortune establishment in Chinatown. Smoothies!!! Ummmm yesssss!! Me and Les were so there! Don't forget to check out Leslie's pics.
The Garden of Fortune is in the heart of Chinatown at 102 North Hotel Street.
Here's Ken and his two kids. Ken is like the nicest, nicest guy. I felt bad cause me and Leslie kinda turned the place upside down, moving things around, messing up stuff . . . like we usually do on a shoot.
I did get to taste some of the smoothies and they were really, really good!
Here's the pineapple smoothie.
Strawberry smoothie
Banana smoothie
Papaya smoothie
Coconut juice
Mango smoothie
Watermelon smoothie
Here's their specialty, sugar cane juice, made from fresh squeezed sugar cane. It was very refreshing.
I remembered to get a behind-the scenes shot!!! Mano was a great reflector holder.
The hard-working crew.

Hooo da jellos! Nice pics Jalna! Thanks! I had a blast...yummy smoothies too yah? :)
I love smoothies...where's the best place to park?
Les, you got some GREAT photos yourself. I had good fun with you too!
Ahhh, parking, mmiissee . . . we parked in the Municipal Parking on Maunakea Street. Kinda tight in there, but it's cheap. It was 3 bucks for the 2 1/2 hours that we were there.
Thank you so very much Jalna, Les, and Mano for your help. The pics are beautiful. I can't wait to get them on our windows. How about lunch tomorrow or Tuesday?
Thank you again.
Ken
I really like how you captured the smoothie and its fruit. The smoothies look even more delicious. Great job.
Hoo hoo, so glad you like the pics Ken!! Don't forget to let me know if you need any more photos taken. The smoothies were GREAT! I'll let you know about lunch later, but cannot tomorrow or Tuesday.
Thanks Celia. I do need help in the fruit arrangement department. Next to lighting that's the hardest part for me.

I feel like a fly on the wall of a bunch of awesome and talented people. Thanks for letting me tag along and hang out with greatness today :) Pics are awesome and so was the company!
We didn't get a chance to do the fresh fruit shave ice, but maybe next time when u guys have time, then we can grab lunch too! Thanks again Jalna and Les!

Awww Mano, you are way too kind. I would love to do shave ice!
Hope you can check them out Erick, especially since Ken is such a nice guy.
Betty, the smoothies were awesome good . . . made from fresh fruit.
Les, that's exactly what I was thinking the whole time, "Where's CQ?"
The shots look deeelicious.. I like the behind the scene shot..the lady sitting in the chair looking thinking what is that round circle thing?!! Great shooting
Thanks Shun Wah. It was kinda funny the "audience" we had during the extent of our shoot.

Hahaha,Rand, actually I need one of dos tings for my car.
Is this a restaurant or a store? Ok, I guess I should go check it out since its so near my office! The smoothie pics were awesome!
Sooo....tell me tell me.....do they sell the kalamansi that I see in the pictures?? sooo hard to find..
Fawn, it's more a store than a restaurant, but they do have some food, like bentos. Please do try the smoothies . . . so ono and refreshing, made with real fruit.
You know what Didi, I was so focused on getting the shots that I didn't even really look around except for the little corner that I was in.
