SumoSam Dinner with my Dad

Today is Father's Day, and along with the world, I am proclaiming that my Dad is the best :) I am thankful, blessed and happy that I was given the Dad I have. I didn't plan anything today as I've always believed that we shouldn't single out just a day in a year to show our love to our original superhero :)

                             
    

Here's what my Daddy and I had in one among our many dinner dates. This one's at SumoSam at The Block. I wanted to eat at a shabu-shabu that night, but the one at The Block apparently closed out already. And so, we went to SumoSam instead. I'm not a big fan of SumoSam, you know, they're food is not bad, I just know other better Japanese restaurants around. 

And because I originally wanted shabu-shabu, I ordered Vegetable Ramen (Php 279) and their Sizzling Salmon (Php 328). Their ramen was quite disappointing, and was this close to tasting like instant noodles. The salmon, on the other hand, was wonderful. I usually like my salmon raw, but this one's really nice, and Daddy and I finished it up in a breeze.


                              


                              
      
It was a nice dinner yet again with my dear Daddy :) I know Daddy doesn't read this, but I definitely hope I am doing enough to let him know that I love him, and that I feel blessed to have him as my father :) Happy Father's Day to your Dads, too :)
    

QKebab Dinner to Soothe the Soul

Ok, let's put my post title into context. I just came from the mountains of Tanay with my BFF C and her  BF M, and while the trip was chill and ok, it was the very rough jeepney ride home from Cogeo to Katipunan that did us in. The driver had very rough driving skills and his sounds were blaring; I seriously felt violated.

I said I wanted to eat something that will soothe my soul, and so M recommended QKebab near Katipunan. And I'm not sure if I was that tired, or if their stuff was really good, but I swear my Mango-Yogurt Smoothie calmed my nerves. And that was just for Php80. I also had their Chicken Salad Bowl (Php 165) which was also quite good and actually tasted healthy. It's quite a good discovery :)

                              
                         

QKebab is at 41 Esteban Abadan St. Cor. R. Alberto St. Loyola Heights QC, just behind Mc Donald's.

The Avengers

                            


One year after it was shown in theaters, Star Movies featured The Avengers last weekend. Fresh from my Iron Man fix, I made sure I'm there when it premieres in Philippine Television.

With egos and issues to match their super powers, The Avengers is simply full of tension waiting to burst out. And it's such an enjoyable treat to watch with their witty exchanges. And of course, we are not left wanting on their fight scenes. 

For all their special abilities, I am only too happy with how each super heroes are still very much in touch of their humanity. And how they were all able to let go of their own issues when the situation called for it. Of course, Iron Man was my favorite :) and Captain America came at a close second :)

Brunch at Brida's

I've been quite hooked with brunch places recently, and this post is about another brunch place yet again.

One lazy Saturday morning, I found myself having brunch at Brida's Cafe, located at Powerplant's second floor, between Topshop and The Spa. I've been wanting to go there mainly for the rainbow cake I've read from Jessica Zafra's blog. When I was there I also got Croque Madame as well, as I realized I was actually a little hungry. The verdict? Both orders were nothing too special, but they weren't really bad; just not something I'd come back for. This is why I was quite surprised my order had set me back for almost Php500! I'm glad I tried my rainbow cake, but I might not come back anytime soon.

                         
Rainbow Cake Slice at Php209 and Croque Madame at Php259, with Php50 as 12% VAT!!!


But it is a lovely cake, don't you agree?
