Food trip: Sugi (Greenbelt 3)

It's been quite a while since I had a meal at Sugi in Greenbelt 3 -mainly because meals are not light on the pocket. My friend and I spent Php 500 for this meal but it was worth every penny.

My friend drove from Shaw Blvd to Makati so we can have dinner- it's been quite a while since we last saw each other and we had to catch up on so many things.

We were both craving Korean food but we didn't know where we could find a place in Makati. We're both G.I. - Geographical Idiots- and going to an unfamiliar place would spell disaster. So we settled for Japanese food instead.

Waiting in line - we were on the waiting list #4 for Nanbeitei - was also not an option since we were quite hungry - parking on a friday night? Good Luck. Good thing I remembered Sugi - plenty of chairs and tables, speedy service and simple good Japanese food.

As we rounded the corner of the restaurant, the place was quite packed but there were a couple of seats left at the bar. Yay! We can see all the chefs in action then!

Seeing all the sushi's coming from the the bar, had us craving for more sushi but sadly we could barely stuff in the futomaki.

For our appetizer, we had futomaki. And yes, I can swallow a big slice of futomaki in one big bite. It was difficult but I had no choice. Eating the futomaki in pieces is not the same as eating it as a whole. The explosion of flavors of the whole futomaki is fantastic.

My order - green tea cold soba - oh lala

I didn't eat the raw quail egg though

I wish my plate had more nori strips.

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

Of Kris Kringle and Mickey

This year, we decided to have a Kris Kringle amongst the two teams. Mechanics: First KK : Buy something BIG for your teammate worth Php 100 ($2.50). Then wear an ugly sweater on Friday and have your picture taken beside the Christmas tree in the lobby. Second KK: Each person should think of a showbiz personality starting with the letter C and that will be his/her codename, then write at least 3 wishlist within the range of Php 350 ($8). Since we were all curious as to who wrote what, we decided to have another game. Guess the person behind the codename. The clues? The wishlist provided. It took me a while to guess because I kept on getting 3 names jumbled up. Finally, I guessed them all. It was fun to get a short break from work. Speaking of breaks, this is my dog, Mickey who is about 9 years old and absolutely hates getting cold baths. One time when the maids were washing the garage, he actually jumped up to a white wicker chair to avoid getting wet and having soap suds. Looks like h...
