Luk Foo with family!

Well, this is the first time I wrote a food blog with my family..It’s because we rarely hang out, most of the time, Nanay and Tatay would just buy us “pasalubong” and we’d share it happily at home. We had our dinner here at Luk Foo and my family were the only customers laughing and making noise.. we most love to laugh at Tatay when he does his wacky face.=)

Luk Foo is a simple Chinese restaurant located at Puregold. They also had another version which is called Luk Foo Hotpot. We just didn’t liked how they treat customers..Upon sitting they’ll give you the menu and you’ll see in the lady’s face(the one getting your order) that you have to order right away when in fact, there’s a lot of choices and we’re just first – timers here so we need time to decide on what to eat. And what made it worst is besides our dine – in orders,we also had to take-out some of our favorites like, century egg,siomai, pancit, etc and they were putting it all on our table full of plates already..I was just disappointed of the thought “nagmamadali” so that other new customers could fill out our seats..The whole good food experience got ruined by it.=(

For dine-in, we had....

Chinese Seafood Fried Rice(P250)

Mushroom Salad with crab cakes(P265) - this was spicy and I would have preferred this sweet.

I haven't took the picture of the other two meals because my family is also in a hurry for a taste..=)

Sakae Sushi with Mimi.=)

Mimi, I’m very happy spending this day with you..although we’re both tired from yesterday’s separate outings, super saya pa din natin.bangag ka.hahahahah!Yehey!nakakain na tau sa Japanese restaurant!

Mimi and I went to MOA to buy some...”secret” and I really had a hard time helping her (glad that she noticed it) so we took a break and have our lunch here at Sakae Sushi. This is the first time that we ate in a Japanese restaurant together since she’s not into it that much.. For the people passing by, the conveyor belt loaded with a variety of sushi is truly Sakae’s asset that eyes get stuck to it, I admit that that scene gave me the urge to eat there plus I’m a sushi lover.=)

As I open their menu, I noticed that most of the foods are overpriced based on the serving quantity..Imagine paying P99 pesos for 4 small square cuts of tofu and P50 pesos for a cup of rice..So the thought that I’ll get “bitin” with their single meals made me go for their All day Unlimited Sushi which is P399 for adults and P199 for kids.

I love most of their sushi creations and I don’t know but I love grabbing the plates from the conveyor belt..sorry, it’s my first time.=) The color of the plates have their corresponding prices: P39 for blue,P59 for yellow,P79 for green and P99 for red. I also love the complimentary soup and the unlimited cold green tea!

Brasserie Boheme by Gustavian with friend!

I would like to thank my friend, Laisa for this awesome day with her.. Really, it’s not about the movie or the food that I’m happy..it’s about our time together..yihee!cheezy!

Brasserie Boheme by The Gustavian is one of the fine dining restaurants located at Salcedo Village, Makati. This could be the place if you want to have just a casual date, meeting and for business purposes.. And Maybe it would be better if there’s music along that would complement the ambiance because the place seems steep and conversations were overlapping here and there.

We had the Menu Du Jour Prix Fixe, a mix and match set menu of soup or salad, main course and dessert for P430 + 10% sc..Brasserie was among the cheap but elegant finds on the net when it was still P390 considering that you’ll have a three-course meal at a Gustavian Restaurant but honestly, Friend and I only got happy with their main course.. The salad was like “Hey!are we not going to pay here?For God’s sake add a liitle more dressing!” and their desserts were just Ok..


Laisa’s choice:
House salad (smoked salmon/ripe mango/mustard dressing )– No picture..Really having a hard time taking pictures at night..pls forgive me with the following pics..=)

Beef Stroganoff (Mushrooms/mustard/Sour cream/cogmac/Rissotto) – Laisa shared a bit of this to me and I envy her after tasting! Perfect combination.

7bb

Creme Brulee – Like I said,just ok..I love this hard on top..

2bb

Angge’s choice:
Nicoise Salad (Tuna/haricot beans/tomato/new potatoes/devilled egg) – The greens were fresh but didn’t appreciated it much since the dressing was hardly tasted..

3bb

Pork Roulade (Smoked ham/emmental cheese/sauvignon blanc/spinach and garlic rice) – loved this too!now I’m missing Mediterranean cuisine.=)

1bb

Chocolate cake – a MINI chocolate cake or simply a chocolate bar

The place was too serious but we still managed to be our wacky selves..love you friend!
