Eat-all-you-can @ Yakimix Tomas Morato


First of all, I love Yakimix.

My officemate and i went there during lunch and the place is not packed so we had no problem with reservations. The Tomas Morato branch is not a big place and i like the ambiance. 

I got some fried rice and vegetable, lots of raw meat for grilling, some seafood, veggie salad and lots lots of dessert - gush i am dessert person. I like the meat, bite size and lots of flavor, i ate a lot without really knowing about it - good for me, i am naturally slim person. But the seafood,  i ate only a piece or two, i am not really a fan of grilled seafood - i like them buttered specially the shrimp.

There are lots of  sushi that i have no idea about but my friend's a fan. So she ate lots of those - sushi, tempura, sashimi - and she said that those alone will make up for the price.

Let's get on with dessert, there are lots of cakes (ube, chocolate, chessecakes, choco mousse), tarts, brownies, salads, macaroons and a variety of ice cream with all sorts of topping (so make your own) and popsicles ( how awesome is that).  I try all there is except the brownies, im not really a fan of brownies. And when the waiter announce a last call, what have i not eaten yet? Oh, the fruits and some little cheesecakes again haha.

Love eating at Yakimix. But if you will go there during weekends and holiday, be sure to make a reservation because there might be a waiting line.

Dinner via Prestige Cruise


This is a late post, we had this last September.

I got this promo from Metrodeal, this deal is a hit. I remember the web craze when this deal came out. That's why im so excited about it and got disappointed, i should have lowered my expectations.  So, i reserve mine for September- the reservation is so hard because thousand/s vouchers were bought.

In fairness to Prestige Cruise, since i reserve mine during those rainy seasons, they texted us a day before that the schedule is temporary due to tropical depression. But it was later confirmed on the scheduled day.

We got at the Bay Terminal at the Folk Arts Theater near Gloria Maris Restaurant. I was so giddy because i am thrilled of having dinner on the ocean with the city lights around and a live band. My bad that i make my reservation during rainy seasons - but it was really hard to make one. The waves are quite strong but at first  i like it, then came dinner. Aaahhh.... the food was so not good.

I would eat anyday in Carinderia Buffet (if you haven't heard of it, it's in V.Luna), i ate there once, not really appetising but better than what was serve by Prestige Cruise. Let's see, they serve a spaghetti, a beef something, a salad ( the sauce is awful) and a soup. We ate again on the way home, by the way.

To Prestige Cruise ( i hope someone there read this), i know i got half the price but the promo is marketing, you need to leave a good impression for future sales. The cruise is okay but do something about the food, i dont mean the quantity but the quality.

I would like to try another cruise (not Prestige unfortunately, until i heard a good change) and hope that the experience would be different.

SNOW WHITE and The HUNSTMAN

This is one of the upcoming movies for 2012 that i am looking forward - and of course the Hunger Games. At first because Kristen Stewart is in it and i like her. And then i saw the trailer - have you seen it?

It is amazing!

It is dark and clearly an action flick, not the Snow White we watch while growing up. Charlize Theron as the evil queen is so well done, the way she said her lines is so evil. She brought a new meaning to a villain - with class. Snow White was not really seen at the trailer, i kept wondering if this is about the queen or Snow White. Well, i hope the movie is as good as the trailer.



If you haven't heard, two Snow White movies is coming out in 2012. The other one is Mirror, Mirror with Julia Roberts as the evil queen and this version is clearly for kids. The trailer looks like a comedy and i have to say it is awful, if not embarassing. Here's the trailer, see for yourself.

HUNGER GAMES

Have you read the book? If you haven't, read it now, all three of it. They are making the movie adaptation of it. The casting is sure making a buzz.

IMHO, Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss is working for me. I'm not quite yet sure of Peeta and Gale, i have yet to see the movie.

The trailer has been released and i like it, the story is on and they are not hyping the romance which is good. As much as i am a fantasy/paranormal romance fan, Hunger games is a dystopian thriller about survival and sacrifice and the author sticks to it - which i also like about the series.

Watch the trailer and see for yourself... as for me, i can't wait for March 2012.
