Yakimix, finally!

After 1 1/2 years of contemplating, we finally dined at Yakimix Mall Of Asia! 
We were there at around 8pm to have our names listed...11th.

Whenever we know that we would wait that looooong, we tend to find another restaurant. I know, so impatient. So hungry.

But this time,I asked my hubby to accompany me to buy stuff at Beabi, also to kill some time of waiting.

As we went back...9th T.T

But wait, after a few minutes.. it becomes 5th.. 3rd.. Then finally called our names, 

IRRASHAIMASE! 


Oh, the feeling of grand entrance!

Hurrah!

The price for weekend buffet is 660Php plus bottomless drinks of 75Php

All right, let's get going.

We were so pressured to eat, because we were there at 9:15pm, 45mins before the cut-off time.

In the end, too much leftover for us. :c 
Good thing that they did not charge us for that.

Moving on..


As for our taste, we love their raw food more than Tong yang. Because at Tong Yang, you really have to cook from scratch and the tastes seems mono-flavor (if there is such word) iisa lang unless of course you put spices in it. Well, as their slogan says, "the freedom of cooking"

While at Yakimix, most of the raw foods are marinated in various sauces that you don't have to worry on what spices/ingredients to put this and that.

Basically, whichever effort you prefer in cooking.

What about their cooked food?
Average.

Desserts?
Average. 

Overall, still good for us and we'll dine in here again! 


Lesson learned: 

• Have a reservation if you're budgeting your time
• Have your name listed early. Not 8pm but 6 or 5pm.

Their buffet cut-off time is 10PM 

Closing time is 11PM

Whew.. SO impatso! :p

Trending Oppa Gangnam style?

A video that invades Youtube with 186 million + viewers and counting since July 15 2012 (The date when the video was uploaded)

The first encounter I've been was from 9gag that says "No Gangnam style" sign. I just ignored it back then.

Days had passed, and I found it on facebook though not the official MTV but 5 girls dancing Gangnam style which I find it amusing haha. So I look for the original video which is PSY singing ang dancing unusual but hilariously funny. Not to mention that there are a-lot of parodies appeared. Entertaining, yes.

The MTV has unusual dance steps; riding an invisible horse, shaking the booty like a cartoon character and so on. The kid in the intro is pretty amazing by the way! ☺

Again, another fad. Remember Nobody by Wondergirls? That was a fad. Seems like a lot of craze have been happening in the world eh? 

Anyhoo,
What is Oppan? What is Gangnam style? Questions to be answered on these links.

So what is really behind those korean lyrics of Oppa Gangnam style?

English Translation:

Oppa is Gangnam style
Gangnam style

A girl who is warm and humanle during the day
A classy girl who know how to enjoy the freedom of a cup of coffee
A girl whose heart gets hotter when night comes
A girl with that kind of twist

I’m a guy
A guy who is as warm as you during the day
A guy who one-shots his coffee before it even cools down
A guy whose heart bursts when night comes
That kind of guy

Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the end

Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

A girl who looks quiet but plays when she plays
A girl who puts her hair down when the right time comes
A girl who covers herself but is more sexy than a girl who bares it all
A sensable girl like that

I’m a guy
A guy who seems calm but plays when he plays
A guy who goes completely crazy when the right time comes
A guy who has bulging ideas rather than muscles
That kind of guy

Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Beautiful, loveable
Yes you, hey, yes you, hey
Now let’s go until the end

Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style, Gangnam style
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two
On top of the running man is the flying man, baby baby
I’m a man who knows a thing or two

You know what I’m saying
Oppa is Gangnam style

Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style
Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh

Based on what I understand, It pertains to a party-loving-guy who is somewhat in love with a simple girl. in short, Simplicity is beauty. Still has a sweet sense of expressing music unlike other songs haha. ☺



It may be freakin' peculiar to others but hey, admit it. You raised a centimeter to make that smile. ☺

That's all right, everyone wants to be happy. Ta-ta! ☺

The plunge at E.A.T Danao, Bohol

Hubb(ies) first! ☺☺

Hahaha..☺


It was such an exhilarating yet freaky moment in our lives.. so far :)
Imagine, that you're about to freefall for 2 seconds then swing with such great wind. Not to mention that you'll be hanging in a height of 45 meter / 147 ft or on top of 1,470th floor building! Really. Speechless. Truly amazing.
After they pulled us up, we went to see our hilarious acts we've done in photographs. Good thing that you'll be able to purchase all of your soft copy pix (300Php) with 2 chosen printed pix.

And there you go, we sure going back here again! ☺



If you're looking for adventures/thrills then de-stress yourself from the overworked city at E.A.T Danao. ☺

Do you know other similar places to visit?
Tell me please! Thanks! ☺

Cebu is lechon and Crowne Regency

Edge coaster

 

The only ride we've loved at crowne regency!

It'll be a problem for those people who have fear of heights. But you should not miss this for experience.

 

Imagine, you're on top of 38th flr... On the edge, tilted.

But if you can't handle your fear, you can control to straighten it.

 

And congratulations, you'll receive a certificate, brave one. :)

 

Skywalk: Mission accomplished!

 

This is another thrill we've done on 37th flr.

The thing is, you will walk on the floor. That's all.

I guess they should've change the floor into a glass so we can see what's down there. Right?

 

 

Excited hubby :)

 Cnt Lechon

1/2 kl for 180Php

In a sunny afternoon lunch, people are crowded dining here at Cnt Lechon. Some do takeouts not just 1 box (1kilo) but 4 even 6 boxes! I also witnessed a family seems having a party to their house ordered 6 whole roasted pig. "Ganun kabenta at kamura sa Cebu"  I said.

The place is not too extravagant, in fact it's like a canteen. Though.. hot. Really hot.

Anyway, moving on to their delicacy. Lechon.

To be honest, I don't eat pig skin, even crispy pata. To be exaggerated, I disgust those food. Fortunately, Naga's Bob marlin's crispy pata changed my taste. "Ang sarap!" with matching twinkling eyes. 

At Cnt, people ordered 1kl to dine in. No people EXCEPT US ordered 1/2kl haha. "nakakahiya naman" I said. :)

You know what, their food brightens my day, I totally love their pig skins that doesn't need any sauce, though for the internal meat, you prolly need those. (rhyming words! haha)

Another famous lechon I heard are Zubuchon and Rico's lechon which we will try next year :)



I don't know why in Manila's lechon doesn't taste so good for me.

You know what they say, "Authentic food comes in the street of the origin".


Ta-ta!

Long weekend at Baguio City [Part 2/ Pizza Volante]

As we arrive at Pizza Volante restaurant at around 10:30pm. Seats are almost fully-packed! But still, we managed to find a table for us and we assume that the restaurant's food is that great.

Here's what we've ordered,

mussels in red sauce with wine

117Php

I like this dish so far, the sauce is thin because of tomato & mussels juice. Liquid-y as you eat it, you know, sauce is spattering as you slurp the pasta :p

Kenny George 8" pizza

162Php

For this specific flavor, this one is average for me.

Anyway, we'll surely try other flavors and might blow us away :)

Waffles

75Php

Creamy waffles. Simple yet yummy.

 

Others: Chicken fillet Corsican rice 120Php

            Vanilla milkshake 46Php

Tasty chicken, not too salty aaaannnd Vanilla milkshake for the win!  So addicting.

Overall rate, we'll surely get back here again, imagine, all the food I've mentioned above costs us around 500Php.

Very affordable and the food is simply great.

Long weekend at Baguio City [part 1/Vizco's restaurant and cake shop ]

Everyone is happy because it's looooong weekend (Aug 18-21)!

August 18 Saturday

August 19 Sunday

August 20 Eid-al-Fitr (Holiday)

August 21 Ninoy Aquino day (Holiday)

That's why :)

Moving on to..... Baguio! Yay.

Vizco's restaurant and cake shop

Before hubby and I check in to our hotel, we stroll first by walking from victory liner to session road. Well, I guess to save fare..maybe not. :p

Baguio City is really small that you'll be able to memorize every corner of the place. As we walked to session road, there are lots of restaurants to choose from, italian/filipino/chinese cuisine, cake shop and many more.

But Vizco's caught our attention so we tried this out.

Gambas rice

225Php

This dish is one I really like! A combination of pesto buttery sauce in a very tasty shrimp that can't go wrong.

Chap chae

 [*from Ocha restaurant menu]

210Php

*Ocha and Vizco's owned by the same owner where you can order some food from Ocha's menu even if you're in Vizco's, vice versa.

Hubby's favorite. I normally don't eat chap chae, I don't know, maybe it's just odd for me to eat sweet noodles. Except for this, I like the balance of sweetness and saltiness of the dish which made me eat this. Unfortunately, due to recent adjustment of my dental braces, I can't chew comfortably. Wrong timing. Maybe next time!

Choco mudpie

[based on my receipt]

90Php

This dessert.. it was frozen! Confused a bit for this dessert, the usual mud pie I know is that, chocolates are swimming around the cake. Choco mousse with banana Or Banana choco mousse (Yes, it's banana, the yellow thingy above) is more appropriate I guess.

Mango cake

65Php

I like what I ordered a slice of mango chiffon cake. For the price it's really worth it. The icing and mango cream layer did not fail on me.

They accept credit card

They do delivery!

Just call/text 446-7082, 09175790962 or 09209642407
