Birthday Dinner At Yutaka Izakaya

February 26, 2013

Since Daughter's birthday falls on a Tuesday, and they also have C.E.M. post-test scheduled today, she can only treat her friends during snack time which is like 15 minutes. She asked me to buy different kinds of sushi  instead of pizza, which was easier to order and with FREE DELIVERY service. Oh wells, she doesn't really make requests like that so its okay. I'll go to the Japanese restaurant and order tons of sushi for her and her friends. Also, the night before her birthday, we bought some cookies and candies and chocolates as giveaways. 



Then after school, we went back to that same Japanese Restaurant to have dinner with her special guests. She would've loved to invite more friends but since its a school night, I don't think her friends parents will allow them. So she just requested her favorite playmates who happens to be the daughters of my food buddy, C. It was an intimate dinner with good friends so there's not only the continuous flow of delicious food but lots of laughter also.


Daughter and hubby texting the guests to hurry up because they're hungry already! Hahaha. Just kidding ;)
We chose to sit on the floor instead of sitting on a chair. Now I know reason why Japanese people are slim--- the tummy gets squished while sitting on the floor so its next to impossible to pig-out. However, my friend C said that the Geishas are just good at hiding their tummy under their voluminous kimonos. The obi-belt hides the "bilbil." :P



California Maki. Daughter's favorite. Also, Yutaka Izakaya serves the best tasting very affordable california maki in town. P134/ 8pcs.



Roasted Rice Tea. I drank gallons of these because of all the food that I ate. Luckily, its free !!! The teapot looks nice. I think I saw that in Japan Home (P88).



Homemade Ice-Cream. Green Tea, Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanila. P50/ scoop. I heart the green tea flavor! Hubby and I had 3 orders between us. :)



And last but not the least --- daughter's cake. Its a refrigerator cake ala mode with strawberry syrup. And instead of a candle, I just used the Hello Kitty Happy Meal Toy that I bought last year. The heart lights up. There's a switch at the back.



The meal ended happily. Everyone's full (no kidding). Everyone's giddy with laughter. And everyone's sleepy. Time to head home.

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity! 

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow!
