Inggo Noms...

Beloved and I ate at Friuli Trattoria for dinner. Yes, I know I said it’ll be a while before our next nomnom adventure. But because Starcraft II’s Southeast Asia server lags like hell, it didn’t really take plenty of my time. Anyway, Friuli is an Italian joint found in Maginhawa St., one of the closest pizza places from home. It’s also our family’s restaurant, so I might be a bit biased. I hope you trust that I won’t be despite saying that this is my favorite Italian place, as I’ll try to back that claim up. I’ve basically tasted everything on the menu, but recently, they’ve renovated and added a lot of brewed coffee-based drinks on the menu. It’s also been a while since we went here, so we did.

Today, I bought my copy of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty in Trinoma. But that’s not what this post is about. After going there, we had coffee at Seattle’s Best Coffee. Because I spent almost all my money on the said game, we decided to just have one last nomnom adventure for the month for the heck of it. So, I guess because of Starcraft II, this will probably be the last post for the month, and maybe the last post for quite a while.

After dinner, beloved and I went to Yoh-gürt Froz. Yes, this is another yogurt store. Yes, I still don’t know why beloved forces herself to eat yogurt. Yes, this still has color motif that’s different from the other yogurt places we’ve tried before (this one’s blue). That aside, this is found across McDonalds on the side where we wait for a ride to come home. This happened to be open even though it was pretty late. Peeking through their window, we thought their prices was pretty cheap for yogurt, so we decided to try it out.

Last night, beloved and I ate at Teriyaki Boy. I doubt that most of you don’t know or haven’t heard of this resto. For those who don’t, this is a typical Japanese one which you have probably figured out from its name. However, I’ll be upfront with you: I dislike Teriyaki Boy. Not that their food is bad, sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s so-so. Their prices aren’t that unreachable as well, but it’s still one of those higher-priced ones. In fact, because of their prices, I have yet to try their teriyaki because it’s one of the more expensive ones in their menu. They do have items within reach, and because it was one of the closest from where we were last night, we decided to eat here.

Because we weren’t able to eat dessert at Seoul Garden, we went to The White Hat. Well, it was beloved who said that she wanted dessert. For some reason, she insisted on having yogurt even though her last experience in fyi wasn’t a good one. Maybe she’s still clinging on the hopes that this one will somehow taste like Qoola. Yet, even though I say that almost all yogurt should taste sour, and even though she hates such sourness, she still insists that she wants one. I give in. Because this was the closest one, we went here.

A couple of days ago, beloved and I ate at Seoul Garden. This was one of the first restaurants to open during the opening of the brand new Annex of SM North EDSA. From it’s name, it’s safe to assume that it’s Korean. What kind exactly, I wasn’t too sure since every time we pass by, I see there’s only a few people in to pique my interest. However, I notice there were plenty of dividers inside, so I couldn’t be too sure. I grow curiouser each time we pass by, especially after our wonderful experience on YakiMIX and realizing that Seoul Garden was a do-it-yourself-barbecue-and-hotpot-buffet. The day before yesterday was our chance to try it out.

Yesterday, beloved and I ate at Bigoli while doing my errands. It certainly wasn’t the first time we went here. In fact, this is one of the most frequent places we eat at in Trinoma. Not that I fancy Italian food that much, which is what Bigoli specializes in. And even for an Italian place, it’s not among my favorites. However, for the fact that they offer unlimited bread sticks and bottomless drinks for a very affordable price just makes it somewhat impossible to just shun this one away. Beloved also likes this place due to the fact that they serve cream dory.

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.
