Tempura Grill, Trinoma

When I arrived here in Manila, I was craving for Japanese food.  Mom and I went to Trinoma to do some little shopping (ehem!).  I treat my mom to tempura grill and ordered my fave sukiyaki.  aaahh... remembering my college days, Sukiyaki don for lunch!!

I just can't forget the taste of sweetness and tender beef in this Sukiyaki.  Along with my favorite mushrooms, tofu,  white onions and carrots. PHP 285.00

I or shall I say, We never go with out some UNI Sashimi.  PHP 195.00

California Temaki.  Sawa na sa Maki kaya Temaki naman.  PHP 80.00/pc  medyo expensive para sa isang serving lang.

SAKE (Salmon) TEMAKI. I love sweet raw Salmon.

KFC's Twister California Maki

I like Jap foods so much, and to think that you can have california maki in a new style??

I wasn't interested at first, thanks to Da's convincing power (bribing me with KFC's fries)... It wasn't bad. I mean with the juicy fried chicken strip and wasabi... and ripe sweet mango.. and cucumber. It's my maki to-go!! except in was wrapped in soft tortilla. Enjoyed eating this while watching movie!! or midnight snacks with my family

I was excited to eat my California Maki twister, didn't give effort in taking this photo.

Thank you KFC!!! definitely one of your finger lickin' good.

Seoul Garden @ SM City Annex

I first red about this in a newspaper while I was in a plane from Cebu. Few days later, we experience Seoul Garden's food and service. My family loved to eat in buffet hotpot dining. We even DIY at home. 


Seoul Garden is nothing like Yakimix or TongYang.

Seoul Garden offers Korean style of buffet hotpot/bbq dining.  They served marinated sliced meats (beef, pork, chicken), seafoods.  They have a mini salad bar / halo-halo bar with ice creams; and different varieties of sauces.  You can also order for a bimbim-bap (rice topping) which is included in the buffet. Drink all-you-can Pepsi products and Nescafe coffee. They also have some mini sweet cakes.  I enjoyed making my own rootbeer float!! and grilled meat wrapped in fresh lettuce.  We enjoyed this kind of dining because we could talk more and eat slow. and, the dining crew were sooo friendly and very approachable!!!

Our table. Cooking some meat and squash.. yes, masarap ang grilled kalabasa.

Seoul Garden once / twice a month!!

We were not hungry... just starving!!

Some things that Da and I share is our fave past time, eating. We loved to try different cuisine or just simply looking for a place to eat.  But this day is different.. he called me and asked me if where I wanted to go. For a date? (dot. dot. dot.) We went to Shangri-la Plaza to had our merienda and to watch movie (also one of our shared interest). 

We arrived before 2pm, and bought our movie ticket. We decided to watch the movie, The Town.

And decided to have our merienda at Secret Recipe.

I ordered one Carrot and ginger soup, which I find not worth for a Php 95.00.  Da ordered  for a TOM YUM KUNG.  It was stinky and spicy even though we requested it to lessen the spice, it was still very spicy, we enjoyed it though.  And I requested for a warm water and they gave me ice water. uhh...

After a few walks, very few walks... Da was still hungry. And, we ended up in Figaro. For a very light meal, we just ordered one serving of Figaro club sandwich.

I like clubhouse sandwich but there's something missing in this sandwich.. mayo or the less mustard or it has too much pesto... I don't know.

Did you know that Da loves Vanilla? Uhhh... now I know. :)

My Fave... Coffee Floats!!! the taste and aroma of barako coffee and sweetness of Vanilla Ice cream. YUMM!!!

And, we had sour-cream popcorn while watching movie!!!

This is our typical date... :)
