Mr. Kurosawa

Last Saturday after a very relaxing massage at The Spa Libis, we went over to Eastwood mall to have late dinner. We ended up choosing Jap food over Italian and Thai. We ended up having dinner at Mr. Kurosawa.


The place was pretty jam-packed and there were a number of people waiting to be seated when we got there. We were lucky to be seated right away because we only needed a table for two. But we ended up outside.. not bad as well because I noticed that the tables inside are arranged really close to each other. One thing I noticed though, was the ceiling fixtures. They really looked cool.




Off to the food, our orders:

Tuna Sashimi

I wasn't able to take note of the price. I was a bit disappointed with the serving size. I remember really raving about the sashimi size from another Japanese Resto, see here. In all fairness, it tasted fresh and clean.


West End Wagyu - P399

I liked the Wagyu balls, it was flavorful and a little bit spicy, the pasta I'm not a big fan of. Arvic did like it I think. :)

Japanese Fried Rice - P78 (per cup)

Lots of rekados.. confusing flavor. Good for the tastebuds I think, because they get confused. Haha!


Ika Fry - P178

This can be shared by 2-3 persons. I was surprised by the big serving. Crispy as well.

Final verdict: It's not one of the best Japanese restos I've been to. And a little bit pricey for their servings. I won't scratch it off yet because I have yet to try their Maki. I have a feeling it'll be similar to the other Jap restos this one is affiliated with (SumoSam, John & Yoko).

CARPE DIEM!
I'm out.

I agree with KG, the ambiance is remarkable. The establishment's name is so jap talaga, nothing you can deny. Haha.

i agree the prices on the menu are a bit steep. same with john and yoko and sumo sam which we have tried several times. (sarap din kasi, hehe)

i like their food but not the price and moreso the service. wait staff needs to practice smiling more often! pero sexy and outfits lalo na sa john and yoko!

you may want to try iwo jima next time you visit mr. kurosawa (if there will be a next visit from you) it's a pizza with mango and nice flavors into it. invite you to view my post about it. -->

Ba-Bye Ate

Today was quite a sad day for our family. For a very close-knit family, goodbyes are really extra difficult to say . Especially if the one leaving will be miles and seas away. My Ate (with her husband) left this morning for the US. They'll be starting their new life there. She already has work so I don't need to worry about that anyway, and I'm sure that she'll definitely do well. My parents were really sad... maybe it's the thought of being "away" from her. Tipong you have to hop on a plane pa just to be able to get to her. The whole family has US visa naman , we can go there anytime (as long as we have the money I guess :p) Yes, I cried a lot as well... and I guess it's because of all the bilins I got from her. The one that stuck the most " Ikaw na bahala dito ha.. Alagaan mo sila Mama and Papa. Si Ivan ha... Wag mo silang pabayaan. " My nephew on the other hand was a different story... he was eager to go home already when we got to NAIA. ...

Commitmentphobe No More

Look... check out who finally commits. :) I've read about this in my friend's blog sometime last week. (Hi Carla ! Thanks for sharing). My initial reaction... "WHY VERONICA?!?" I was such a Betty fan. Oh well... So I've read more about the article just this morning and here's part of it.. “People who vote for Veronica-Archie are the idealists, the people who say, ‘I'm voting for the glitz, the glamour, the high energy, the sexiness, the ideal [and] they might not even care so much that it'll only last five years,'” says the Toronto-based registered family, marriage and sex therapist. Those who yearn to see Archie and Betty get hitched take a more realistic, traditional view, she says. They're more grounded, are thinking long term and have more of a sense of “for always and forever.” The way the girlfriends each relate to Archie sheds a lot of light on their character. Betty allows Archie to push her aside, a sign she'd make a submissive...

Suuuuuungka!

Who knows how to play Sungka? What's Sungka you may be thinking? Well, let's allow good old Wiki to define it for us... Congkak (pronounced [tʃoŋkaʔ] ) is a mancala game played in the island of Borneo , Singapore , and Peninsular Malaysia . Minor variants are known as Tchonka, Naranj, Dakon or Sungka and are played in Indonesia (mostly Java ), Sri Lanka , the Maldives , southern Thailand , the Philippines and the Marianas . In Indonesia, it is called "Congklak" meaning cowrie shells, which are often used as pieces. On the island of Java, it is called "Dakon" and little red seeds are used as pieces. In the Philippines it is called "Sungka" and shells are used as pieces. Congkak is believed to originate from the word ‘congak’ which in old Malay Language means count. When we were in Boracay last April, this game was played during our free time. I love playing it! Especially if my opponent's Arvic because I pretty much win all the time. Haha...
