My Valentine’s

Posted on February 22nd, 2010 by Jose Farrugia

It’s been more than a week now since Valentine’s and it’s only now that I am posting the pictures from the day. I spent most of the day with my girlfriend, Twinky . We ate our lunch at Don Merto’s, the branch next to Sacred Heart Girls – Juana Osmena.

We both ordered their famous American Quarter Pound Bacon Cheese Burger with fries and coleslaw which costs only P145 each. A great deal indeed! The burger was quite huge for the price yet it was immensely delicious. A BIG Thumbs up!

An awesome day indeed!

YOGU – Frozen Yoghurt

Posted on January 30th, 2010 by Jose Farrugia

I heard about this from a couple of friends who suggested me to go to YOGU. YOGU being short for yogurt, is a new food outlet looked at the SHELL Gas Station in Banilad, Cebu City (the one next to Sentinel condos). Moreover, the folks at YOGU were smart enough to use an old container for the store outlet. Pretty innovative!

YOGU is frozen yogurt mixed with three toppings of your choice (an additional P15). The toppings are endless. Twinkle and I decided to go for blueberry, mango and cereals.

There are two sizes of YOGU, small and large. Small costs around P75 while the Large at around P95. The frozen yogurt being used by YOGU isn’t sweet, however, sour. Nonetheless, this didn’t stop me from falling in love with it! Pretty awesome! Two thumbs up! Give it a try.

TGI Photo Competition

Posted on November 1st, 2009 by Jose Farrugia

TGI will be holding a photo competition from October 30 to November 12 where anyone can take pictures of people having a “good time” at TGI Friday’s here in Cebu. No mechanics were given on the photo competition. However, if you’re lucky you can walk away with P3000 worth of TGI gift certificates. Nonetheless, the only entrance fee would be eating and paying for your meal in TGI Friday’s. An excellent marketing move!

Food – Sushi Sushi Sushi

Posted on October 24th, 2009 by Jose Farrugia

I had dinner with my parents on my birthday at local Japanese food chain restaurant in the Philippines called Rai Rai Ken. I have no idea what that means, feel free to add a comment on the meaning below.

We ate at the Asiatown IT Park, the call center town, branch which is located on the ground floor of the new i2 building. We ordered two bentos which came coupled with Miso Soup, a separate Japanese soup and nine pieces of Sushi. The Sushi chef was kind enough to supply us one extra as it was my birthday. Awww, how sweet.

I am not a food expert or master, however, I’d definitely recommend Rai Rai Ken to those who want to gobble on Japanese food at an affordable price. A typical Bento costs around P250 to P300, while, the typical 8 Sushi dish hovers around P195. I say, that’s fair enough!
