Happy Thursday ♥

Q: What’s better than TGIF?

A: Happy Thursday!

     It was just like any other ordinary Thursday, but to our surprise (and delight), we don’t have any homework or quiz scheduled for Friday! Days like those are so unusual because we are constantly bombarded by lots and lots of quizzes/hw! Toxic talaga, good thing it’s sembreak already. J

     This little night escapade was all planned by my cunning brother. Funny thing is, he loves eat-all-you-cans but he is the first to surrender! Hahaha! Don’t know if I should be proud that I ate the most during eat-all-you-cans. As they say, kelangan sulitin! 

     Yakimix is one of our favorite restaurants. They serve Cantonese, Japanese and Korean food. One thing that sets them apart from all the other eat-all-you-can restaurants is their smokeless grill at the center of each of the tables. I was so ignorant the first time I saw it! hahaha 

Define frustrated party people. 

Mga mukhang gutom! HAHA, joke! You all look so cute and happy J

Can’t smile properly ‘cause my mouth was full! Do Kuya Bagi and I look the same or alike? A lot of people said that we are like twins.

The smokeless grill! 

Ara-beb’s japanses plate

Sansrival. They also have chocolate cake, tarts and other desserts. 

They serve ice cream! They have this corner where you can scoop any flavour that you want, put it in the ice cream bowl and sprinkle it with tons and tons of choco chips, sprinkles etc etc.

A word of caution: THEY.DON’T.HAVE.GOOD.CHEESECAKES. and I mean it! I was and am still disappointed since dessert is my favourite part of the meal and I love cheesecakes!

The Verdict

One thing that I don’t like is the dessert. It’s kind of tolerable but for someone like me who loves sweet stuffs, you might be disappointed by the quality of their desserts. BUT spare the cake since I believe it’s from Red Ribbon and their ice cream cause it’s good. Anyway, the sushi and the tempura make your trip to Yakimix worth it. J

Do you eat a lot during eat-all-you cans? Aminin!

Happy Chicken, Bon Chon ♥

     I have been hearing a lot of good reviews about this chicken place called Bon Chon. It is said to be the best chicken in America according to New York Times, GQ and Esquire.

     And of course I would not miss my chance to taste the ‘best chicken in the world’. So when Amethyst and I went to Megamall last September, we headed to Bon Chon for lunch! J

The Food

Kimchi coleslaw.

I love the extra kick it gives to your regular coleslow!  

Kagutom ba? Hahaha! The skin was really crunchy but the meat itself was so juicy. Better than your regular fried chicken. 

The Verdict:

Amethyst and I were so frustrated! We should have ordered the 2-pc.chicken or 3! Hahaha, you know it’s your fault Amethyst. 

The price's also very reasonable, only Php 95 for this 1 pc. chicken! No reason to not try this little piece of heaven. And I can say that this is indeed the best chicken that I have tasted next to Lola's fried drumstick. 

Debut in a Yacht

I always want to attend a party on a yacht. So imagine how excited I was when my mom told me that we would be attending a debut on a yacht!

                    

Can’t believe Eula is 18 already! She is one of my playmates when we were still kids ‘cause they used to visit us during summers in La Union. Time really does fly so fast.

Sorry for the photos. I have no time editing them given that our finals is already next week. J

My mom standing in front of the yacht

Notice how the colors/design of her cake resemble that of a volleyball? It’s because 

Eula plays volleyball as her sport

Don’t you just love the view? It reminds me of New York or Hong Kong. Manila Sky Line is actually nice and comparable to other countries, they should just do a coastal clean up and people should learn to put their trash on a garbage bin instead of throwing it anywhere.

The theme of her debut is sailor or something nautical 

so I wore my favourite skirt from H & M. J

I never get tired of watching sunsets. It's one of nature's best gifts

I especially love the moon that night. Too bad my camera died already or else I’d take thousands of photos of that lovely moon. It’s so serene just by looking at it and it has this certain glow that night, even more so when you look at its reflection on the sea. Wish I could freeze that moment forever. 

nomnomnom: happy food ♥

I am the type of person who prefers cozy Friday nights than wild/party nights. For me, the most enchanting evenings are those still evenings spent with family/close friends and just talking or laughing about anything and everything.

This night is one of those enchanting nights I’m talking about - good food, good mood, good friends = lezz eat! hahaha

Nomnomnom Happy Food is like a secret hideout or fortress. It’s kind of hidden and there are no signboards directing you to nomnomnom. The only landmarks are the carwash sign and gas station. It was my first time going there but Ate Popsie is already their suki.

The Interior

The place reminds me of Heima, I am not very sure if they did the interiors of this uber cute place. It’s like the ones you see in those good ol’ American homes. Comfortable couches, bird houses here and there and many other cutesy stuffs. ♥

God is in ze details lang ang peg nila. Lolz

This is so classy and vintage! I love how they made use of the books to add height to 

the lamp and put Christmas lights inside instead of just a light bulb, it adds to the dramatic effect.

Isn’t this adorable? If I could pick just one corner in this resto and put it in my room, 

it would have to be this! 

There are two kinds of light - the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures.

I want to throw myself in this soft sofabed the moment I saw it. Hahaha

I can’t believe Christmas is officially near, it’s ber month already! 

The Food : Where yummy and healthy go together

Their menu is perfect for those vegetarians and feeling vegetarians. It consists mainly of kangkong and most often than not cheese. Their food was light but equally filling. 

Fried Ravioli crispy fried ravioli stuffed with kangkong, cream and cheese.

I like that this dish comes with a tomato dish, it kills the super creamy/cheesy taste. 

King Kong Calzone I did not have the chance to taste this dish but according to my brother, ate Popsie and Kuya Adie, this dish is delish
Base from its physical appearance, I guess the kangkong mixture (kangkong +cheese) is enclosed in a shell of bread. It also has this tomato sauce beside it.

Hearty Tomato Soup It is hearty alright and it can make you reminisce about your childhood or your mom's cooking but I find this dish too sour for my taste. Go for this dish if you love sour stuffs or craving for something really healthy and light. Not much carbs.

Penne Pasta. It's carbonara-ish minus the bacons plus the kangkong

Enchilada this is their vegetarian version of lasagne. The meat was replace by kangkong but the taste was still great! This has a pretty big serving (Geline and I shared this dish)

Photo time! ♥

It’s no secret that our family, as well as Geline, loves to take pictures!

 ubos! hahaha

say hi to geline!

I was trying to copy Mayo Wo's signature pose here. Emphasize on 'trying'. 
LOL. I wouldn't have posted this photo if not for the cool bokeh effect on
the background. Galing no?

A positive soul is a happy soul. :) 

Okaay. Seriously, what are you up to guys?

sweet! 

Cool-O facial expression! hahaha
