mika's online diary


 It's been a while! Like a month or so >< been super busy as usual, a lot of things going on at work, and nothing blog-worthy has been going on as well... but! I don't want to neglect blogging so I'll still be doing it hopefully on a monthly basis~ but yeah, a lot's been going on for the past few weeks and it mostly involves eating... I did cut my hair shorter than usual but yay for a new look!

I would say the most blog-worthy thing I did was going out with the bf 10/31/17 in order to celebrate his birthday in advance! Since his birthday is 11/2, we both have work, so we decided to celebrate early!



I gave him my birthday gift, or as I'd like to call it... Birthday Basket! lol I got him a lot of stuff! of course all things he can use! Ate at Dohtonbori and St. Marc Cafe for dessert~ It was rainy so it was hard to go out and stuff, driving was also a little harder because of it~

Doggie selfies!




Dohtonbori has some interesting posters! We sat in like a private room at the resto, and it was Japanese style, so we sat on the floor! It was sooo relaxing!

We ordered Mike's favorite, Omelette Yakisoba~


This is one of their best on the menu! It's something we'll always order when we eat there! lol


We also tried Monjayaki for the first time! We got the cheese monja! it was sooo good! (despite what it looks lol)



And of course, to finish the date off, we had dessert at our favorite, St. Marc Cafe! We were already super full at the time so I suggested we just get 1 parfait since it was big... we had a hard time finishing it lol

We both had so much fun!

I hope we get to do more stuff like this!

Thanks again for dropping by everyone!

Hope to blog soon!~

For my birthday, my boyfriend and decided to try and eat at Dohtonbori in UP Town Center! (Yes this is an old post lol gosh my pending posts are piling up). Interior wise, it looks amazing, the ambiance of being in Japan is there, and the authenticity was really on point! Unexpectedly, it was actually really affordable, and you get your moneys worth the amount and quality of the food you get!

Starting with Interior;





I bet from these images you're thinking of the song... "tenenenenenten ten ten teeeen" (that's a chinese song lol or at least bgm) but yes, you can feel the ambiance of pub in japan where you see office workers drink their hearts out with neckties on their forehead, private parts of the resto, and that cooker in the middle of the table lol what do you even call that? 


 
Even the exterior looks amazing!

Moving on to the food! We ordered Cheesy Pork Monjayaki I think is what it's called, Katsudon, OmuYakisoba, and a side of rice bowl with Miso soup!

The Katsudon was about almost 300php it comes with rice of course! However, the Monjayaki and the OmuYakisoba would need to be prepared in front of you, hence, the "cooker".



Katsudon was pretty big! Mike wasn't able to finish it! I ordered rice and miso soup for me on the side (I forgot how much it was tho lol)

NOW... onto the cooking part! They cooked the omuyakisoba first! and by the name of the dish, I'm guessing you already know what it is lol It's yakisoba enveloped in egg like omurice lol







This is good for two, and after eating this, Mike was already half full, like this was already enough as a meal. besides the fact that it's actually so dayum good! It's only 290php (or at least somewhere in that range)

The last thing they cooked was the Cheesy Pork Monjayaki cause it takes the longest time!







This is alsssssoooo really good! I think it was also between 260-300 php, if you're not a large eater, this can be good for 4 people, but if you eat a lot, I guess this can be good for 2 as well! 

You also have the liberty to put as much toppings or flavoring you want lol


So I put a bunch of Bonito flakes and Ao nori! lol


This was our view lol

Overall, the experience was great, food was amazing, my wallet was still alive after the man vs food fiasco, and I HIGHLY recommend this place for Japanese food loving people!!~

Food and chef critic, Micaela, ending this post..



Byebee!
