Inggo Noms...

After dinner, we had dessert at fyi. Yes, it’s written in lowercase. It’s a yogurt stall near Omakase. For long-term visitors of this blog, you’ll know that beloved hates real yogurt. However, if you’ve read our experience at Qoola, you’ll know that beloved loved the yogurt she had there. Perhaps because of this last experience, she actually wanted to try it out. Or maybe because I won’t allow her to eat ice cream.

Last night, beloved and I ate at Omakase. It’s been a while since we last ate here, and since it was a somewhat special day, we decided to celebrate by going there again. Also, we chose to go here instead of YakiMIX since beloved wasn’t hungry enough for buffet. Because it was a Saturday, we expected there to be a queue, and, as expected, there was. It wasn’t a long wait compared to the one we had to endure at YakiMIX, and since we are sure of the quality of the food, it didn’t really bother us. We were sure to order some kind of maki here, as we have concluded in our two visits that this is indeed their specialty.

Today, me and Inggo went to SM North and Trinoma for his errands. I’ve been wanting to go to this new dessert shop ever since I saw it but never had the chance and the reason to do so. (Plus he won’t allow me to eat desserts.) We finally went here today because we were in need of change to go home.

After dinner, beloved and I had dessert at Qoola. This was a yogurt store with a twist. If you’ve read my review on Red Mango, you’ll know how beloved didn’t like her first yogurt experience. Well, after quite some time, she’s ready to try again. Our choices here was either this one or Red Mango. Because we already know the latter would turn out to be, we risked it with the new one.

Last night, beloved and I had dinner at Mesa. We were in Greenbelt, and had pretty much little choice as most of the restaurants there were out of our budget’s reach. Not that Mesa is for the impoverished, no, but we could afford it. We also don’t usually eat Filipino food, which is what Mesa specializes in. Filipino food for me is composed of either stews or not-so-tender fried/grilled meat or soupy veggies that I don’t really fancy. Not that I don’t eat them, but when given a choice, I don’t pick them. Although we did have a choice today, beloved read a good review on this and also saw that they serve ostrich, so we went ahead.

Last night, beloved and I ate at Bubble Tea. If you’ve read my last review on this resto, you’ll know that we’re pretty much regulars. However, the Bubble Tea we visited was the newly-opened one at Tomas Morato. It’s been a while since our last visit to this chain, so why not?

Before I start, I’ll apologize since my previous post was long as it is. I do hope you read it though. To compensate, and since this was a pretty short stay anyway, this one will be short.

Beloved and I went to YakiMIX for dinner a while ago. I’ve been clamoring to go here ever since I saw some pictures posted by some of my contacts of food from the place. We had knowledge that this was a Japanese buffet specializing in sushi and barbecue (yakiniku). We also had knowledge of how much we’d be spending, which is a little over 600 for the unlimited food and drinks. We also had knowledge of what time it opens, which was from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. for dinner. What we didn’t have knowledge of was how popular this place was and that the queue time would be an hour at least. After going to the nearby Kozui and Baang coffee shop to kill some time and a bit of our starvation, we went back to find out the queue was extended. There were many other patrons waiting besides us, but luckily, since there was only two of us, we got accommodated for at 8 p.m.—almost two hours from the time we came. Was it worth the wait?

Last night, beloved and I ate at Sumo Sam. Beloved was craving for sashimi and sukiyaki last night, and our choice was this or another somewhat-newly opened restaurant called Kimpura. We decided to go here because the latter was a bit intimidating with most of their patrons wearing a formal attire. This newly-opened Japanese restaurant apparently specializes in “steak, seafood, and sushi”. We did manage to get a peek of their menu, and saw that their prices was way steeper than the usual Japanese resto. However, hoping quality and quantity was better, perhaps on par with that of Sakura, we went in.

A couple of days ago, beloved and I had breakfast at The Breakfast Club. Contrary to its name, it’s not really a club where membership is required to enter. We just randomly Googled this one up since we were hungry, it was morning, and we didn’t want to eat at McDonald’s. We also had no idea of its location, but it was somewhere at Katipunan Ave.. We thought it was in the inner streets, since I’ve never seen it before even though I pass by the avenue pretty often. Apparently, it’s located at the former place of Racks, nearby Bo’s Coffee. We had doubts at first, since the hallway leading to it was pretty obscured. Also, when we got up, the sign said it was an Xbox rental place. However, upon entering, we realized The Breakfast Club was just a part of this.
