Healthy Shabu – Shabu
FTFBadge

According to wiki, shabu shabu is a Japanese variant of hot pot. You’ll be given a casserole filled with stock, then a vegetable platter and chosen meat. Meat can be chicken, pork, beef, seafood or combined.

It was another Saturday but Boyps is still sick. It was me who insisted to go out and dine in a Shabu Shabu restaurant just to have a hot and plenty of serving of soup. 
Whenever we eat in a shabu - shabu restaurant, we just order 1 individual set and a rice meal. So here’s what we got:
Chicken Individual Set (Php 295) – Thin slices of chicken served with vegetable platter. It tasted so good because it was me who cooked. Bwaha :p Boyps also noticed how clean my area was after cooking. He usually mess around every time he cooks. The soup has flavor already and sauces are provided. It’s like just putting all the veggies, meat and sauces to the stock. By the way, the egg yolk is added in the sauce while the egg white is mixed with the stock. 
Beef Rice (Php 195) – I’m not sure if we placed a wrong order but the food is different from the picture in the menu list. Hehe. Anyway, it was just ok. Beef was not elastic; sauce is kind of sweet. This one has more flavor than Nemoto’s.

Nemoto Restaurant
We've been here twice. Quite funny though because Boyps was sick on our 1st visit, and it was me on the 2nd. All we wanted was to eat soup and the only restaurant that we can think of that is located in Buendia is Nemoto - a Japanese restaurant.

Every time we pass through this restaurant, we both sneak to look what’s inside. Boyps find it like a mafia place. He said “the one you would see in Chinese movies wherein the fight scenes are done in a wooden restaurant”. Most of their customers are foreigners. I just find everything so old but cute. They have lanterns inside, wooden chairs and tables and comic books that are for sale / rent (assuming :p).
Here’s what we got on our 1st visit:
California Maki - Php 184.80 - It's typical. Nothing so special but I still liked it. Hehe
Miso Ramen – Php 212.80 – This is flavorful. “Lasang – lasang Miso” :p It has egg, bean sprouts, vegetables and ground meat. Good for Boyps as he really needs soup that day.
Gyoza – Php 114.24 – Just like Maki, nothing special but still delicious.


2nd visit:
Tempura Udon – Php 218.40 – Another must try soup. Boyps said “this tastes like tempura sauce”. It has shrimps, mushrooms and vegetables. Serving is smaller as compared to Ramen. 
Gyudon (Beef toppings) – Php 192.64. Their version is quite sweet. Boyps said “hirap i-cut nung beef pero di naman sumasabit sa teeth :p”
We also got free pineapple for dessert on our 1st visit. Nice! J Overall, we like our experience at Nemoto. Service is good, waitresses are attentive; pricing is quite unusual because of the cents. I’m glad that we finally risked and tried it. We'll surely be back J

Arcade Unlimited
Boyps and I have always been addicted to playing arcade games. Few months ago, we concentrated on playing "Price Cube" game, where in you have to shoot a steel bar in a cylindrical hole to push the price using 1st button (move the bar upward) and 2nd button (move the bar sideward). Lately, we now play the "Pick-a-Price" game (I'm not sure of the name), where all toys were just scattered, control the joystick, press the button then it will grab the price.  Just tonight, I saw all the toys that we got! Sometimes, we can't help but spend hundreds just to get atleast 1 toy. :p

Boyps and I are always (or most of the time) having a hard time waiting for a bus ride going to Buendia. FTFBadgeWe usually leave the office around 6-630 in the evening just in time for a late merienda or early
dinner. One time, there are lots of commuters waiting for a bus but few buses came. So instead of waiting for minutes, we have just decided to try another restaurant in the Ayala Triangle. My friend said that we should try CBD because they really serve delicious burgers. Here’s what we ordered.

Onion Rings Php 80 – the onion is sweet; the breading is crispy and not oily. It’s best eaten with ketchup and mayo.
CBD Cheeseburger (mine) Php 155 –. It’s tasty! It has cheese, tomatoes, and green veggie. It is also served with chips (can't remember if it's a potato, wanton wrapper or something else :|) With its taste and smell, I can really say that it was grilled (lasang inihaw talaga). 
CBD Jalapeño Burger (Boyps) Php 170 – It’s yummy as well. Just like in Malcolm’s, we didn’t recognize the difference between the 2 burgers except that this has slices of jalapeño. It wasn't spicy though.
We didn’t find anything special with the burgers but we still liked it. J Both are oily and that’s totally the reason why it’s delicious. J After this, we went back to the loading station and thank goodness, we are able to ride without even running towards the bus :p

Krazy Garlik
I've been reading good reviews about this restaurant that’s why I told Boyps that we should try this out. With nothing much to say, here’s what we got: 

Krazy Garlik Salad – Php245+ - This is so unique (for me)! It’s not a typical lettuce – egg – dressing – croutons salad. It has fried wanton, peanuts, green vegies, bell peppers and onions. The best J
Baba Ghanoush – Php227+ - flavored eggplant served with bread. I like the bread but not the eggplant K. It really has a strong taste that I don’t know how to describe it. To lessen its powerful flavor, I just used it as spread to my bread. It was indeed a very expensive eggplant dish! :p
Hara Kiri Rice – Php200+ - It’s a fried rice with shrimp, squid, bacon bits and chili. It’s moderately spicy! Yummy!

Rouge Seafood Coconut Curry – Php370+ - Mushroom, squid, shrimp and slices of eggplant and banana in curry sauce. The curry is just right – not too strong but still flavorful.
The food is pricey, the servings are few (and of course garlic overloaded :p), the taste was just okay. But I can say that we still enjoyed our dining experience here at Krazy garlik. Thanks to the lady who assisted us all throughout. She is very accommodating and fast in responding to our requests. 
This is us. We’re addicted on trying food from different restaurants. J It may be expensive sometimes, but this is just a reward after a long stressful work week.
