Urameshi Ya

By | Foodie | 4 Comments

Our friend, Mykie, has been telling us to eat at Urameshi ya.  Finally we tried the place

img_0355.JPG

It was our first time to go inside Little Tokyo- even if we are always in the area

img_0356.jpgimg_0357.jpgimg_0359.JPGimg_0360.JPG

Heating the charcoal for the Yakiniku

img_0361.jpgimg_0362.jpgimg_0363.jpgimg_0364.JPG

It’s a very small restaurant with booth seating.

img_0365.jpgimg_0374.jpg

 Poor Dad he had to climb to get inside the booth and the aircon in the restaurant was so hot that evening with one of the aircons not working well.  We should have just left 🙁  But anyway, make sure the aircon is working because the added heat from the griller makes it even hotter.  They do have exhaust but just make sure the aircon is functioning well

img_0389.JPGimg_0387.JPGimg_0379.JPG 

The menu is in Japanese….the waitress has to explain.  We only ordered the Yakiniku which is their specialty

img_0367.jpgimg_0368.jpgimg_0369.jpgimg_0370.jpgimg_0371.jpgimg_0372.jpgimg_0386.JPG

Yakiniku sauce – make sure to add the raw garlic 🙂

The grill

Beef Tongue

img_0378.JPG

 We tried 2 kinds of beef the Karubi and the Jyukusei Harami- of course as the price goes higher, the beef gets better 🙂 So make sure you save the best for last 🙂

Meisterstück Montblanc Diamond Takes the Art of Writing to New Heights

By | What's New at Rustan's | One Comment

The Montblanc Meisterstück has been regarded for over 85 years as a timeless icon of design and craftsmanship. Praised for its superior quality, the Meisterstück has become the most famous and sought after writing instrument of our time. Montblanc has now taken its icon product to new heights of beauty and exclusivity with the launch of the Meisterstück Montblanc Diamond.

ff_montblanc-le-grand-pr-2-010310.jpg

 

As if suspended in mid air, the Montblanc Diamond, in its entire splendor, is prominently featured in the dome of the writing instrument. Hand-crafted in the best European tradition, the black precious resin writing instrument is adorned with platinum plated fittings and a handcrafted 14K gold nib with a rhodium-plated inlay.  The idea behind the new writing instrument was to not alter the shape of the Meisterstück, but to actually enhance the object with the addition of a precious stone, the iconic Montblanc Diamond as well as the style element on the clip ring to enrich the overall design of the instrument. The distinctive traditional white resin Montblanc star as the Montblanc emblem on the top of the writing instrument now shines as a beautiful diamond.

 

The Montblanc Diamond which adorns the summit of the Meisterstuck Montblanc Diamond Writing Instrument, was first launched in 2006 after eight years of development. Internationally acclaimed for its unique craftsmanship and incredible sparkle, the patented 43 facet stone is masterfully carved into the shape of the Montblanc Star, the brand’s symbol representing the snowy peak of Europe’s highest mountain, the Mont Blanc. Over recent years, the Montblanc Diamond has become a favorite on the red carpet at award ceremonies, premieres and festivals all over the world.

Since its launch in 1924, the Montblanc Meisterstück has become the most famous and sought after writing instrument of our time. Its timeless design and handcrafted attributes have granted the Meisterstück global recognition as a modern design icon. As the epitome of unchanged perfection, assuming its function as the ultimate writing instrument – the Montblanc Meisterstück has become a precious tool for self-expression. The luxurious enhancement of the Meisterstuck Montblanc Diamond Writing Instrument with the iconic Montblanc Diamond increases the uniqueness of this piece and ensures it will become an even greater treasure for those privileged enough to own such a work of art.

montblanc-le-grand-pr-1b.jpg 

The Montblanc Meisterstück Diamond will be available in Montblanc Boutiques worldwide starting from June 2010.

 

 

In the Philippines, Montblanc is exclusively distributed by Rustan Commercial Corporation and is available at Rustan’s Makati and at Rustan’s Shangri-la Mall.
