Food in Review: Mr. Kurosawa

LOCATION: Eastwood Mall, Libis

Time: 9:30PM

What attracted me first to Mr.Kurosawa were these huge zebra stripped menus that seemed to call out my name (I have a thing for zebra stripes). I was also craving for Japanese/Korean food again.

Since we were in a celebratory mood for my mom's upcoming birthday plus the fact that they suffered two hours in traffic - take note of Switchfoot concert and Megamall Labor Day sale = heavy traffic along EDSA-they were quite famished by the time we stepped inside Mr.Kurosawa.

We wanted to order a lot (takaw tingin) so we finally settled with their big orders good for 4. A sampler platter really but I couldn't recall the name since it was my brother who ordered for us.

The platter had a huge bowl of greens, fried rice, shrimp, california maki, tuna sashimi, tempura squid, chicken yakitori and fried oysters.

We had to wait for 30 minutes before the food was served.

A guy on the next table kept glancing at us because he ordered, ate and paid for his food and our order was not yet served.

A few seconds after his change came back, our order was served. My brother said his eyes almost popped out from big platter before us.

The platter barely fit the table.

We were quite famished so by the time the food was served, chow down to the max.

In fairness, we were not disappointed. Nothing outstanding though. I think next time we need to order single dishes to enjoy the Euro Japanese theme.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Around Manila: Exploring the streets of J.P. Rizal in Marikina

It is funny how we know the history and culture of a land we do not live in yet know so little about where we live. Thus, began our mission to explore Manila, one city at a time. DESTINATION: Marikina Starting Time: 11am End Time: 5pm How to get to J.P. Rizal in Marikina - Waze (app) and Google Maps Marikeno (native people in Marikina) are said to be the most disciplined people in the Philippines. If the cleanliness around Marikina were a testament to that, Marikenos would pass with flying colors. The streets I could say were similar to those in Singapore - free from litter and we saw people from households cleaning their own front area even if it were facing a street. SHOE CAPITAL of the Philippines Marikina produces 70% of the shoes in the country. and holds the World's Largest Pair of Shoes, recognized by the Guinness World Records. In Marikina, you can find the Shoe Museum which houses 800 out of the 3000 shoes that were part of the famous shoe collection of the
