While I was trying to get my hands-off the laptop, my thoughts just keep on pushing me to grab it and write my day's story... I must admit, I miss writing but I just couldn't find the words to begin with... forgive my indulgence, my rusty hands are trying to come up with something...
Ever since we got back from Baguio (for a short weekend trip last Feb10-13), my husband and I have been talking about our next trip... food trip, that is... strangely, it was his idea that we try new places to dine-in... anyone who knows my husband can tell that he is not really that adventurous when it comes to food... he could eat at McDo all his life and would not mind it at all... but maybe, being married to a "PICKY-EATER" (translate: anything she picks, she eats... haha!) he really had developed an appetite relative to mine over the years... lately, he's been addicted to milk teas, he'd taste different flavors each time and convince me to do the same but I always prefer being faithful to anything choco + extra pearls... he is so engrossed in it that he would post it on his FB wall to show me (since we don't have mms features on our phones)... It's all about MILK TEA (new flavors, yes... different places, yes... but it is one and the same MILK TEA... my goodness)
To break the monoTEAny, I decided to search for a place where he could reunite with his first love (Japanese food)... Since it was his birthday we were going to celebrate, I wanted it to be somewhere he has not gone to yet... BUT since I was not "physically" well, the place had to be somewhere near... Being allergic to anything raw, it was really a challenge to find a Japanese restaurant... making it more difficult, it has to be NEAR & affordable (it's a must coz it's my treat)... That search led me to this old place near Makati Cinema Square (where my Father used to bring me to watch movies-I wonder if it's still there)... All my efforts were rewarded when he got off the car and saw the place... He was like "MAY GANITO PALA SA PILIPINAS?!"... and in my mind, wait til you get to see what's inside... and the rest of the story could be summed up by just looking at how he took all the pictures... he was in awe... and well, the food deserves another entry...

I must say that next to Kenji Tei (my favorite ramen house), this is gonna be the best place to be at when you crave for anything Japanese... we will definitely come back...
just so when I thought I broke the monoTEAny, he dragged me to find a place where we could grab some milk teas... oh no! not again! but then, it was his birthday... so off we went to a nearby mall (where he also bought -more like-> ordered his birthday toy) to get this milk tea thirst quenched....
