Even New Year’s Eve is difficult to find a restaurant for dinner.  Either they are fully booked or closed for dinner.  So we ended up again somewhere near the hotel.  We always pass this restaurant but never eat there.  Finally we did and it was quite good!  Fusion Japanese food and at very reasonable prices.  I was not able to get the menu so I will just describe the dishes in my own words 🙂

They had crispy cheese crackers – similar to the parmesan crisps!  So of course we ordered this

Salmon Aburi which was also popular

Zed by Cirque Du Soleil

By | Entertainment, Travel | 4 Comments

For New Year’s Day, Dad and Mom took us to watch ZED.  Mom heard from Tita Maricris that they were watching, so she got the idea from them and followed 🙂  We saw Rombit and Maja with their kids as well.   The theater is located near Disneyland so it fits in very well.

This is the only photo I was able to take- as soon as I shot this, a clown approached me and told me that it was not allowed.  HOW FAST!  🙂

The best part for me was the beginning when those drapes all go inside! Watch it here

Mos Burger

By | Foodie, Travel | 4 Comments

Mostly all restaurants are closed in Tokyo on New Year’s Day.  It’s a good thing Mom found a Mos burger near the hotel that was opened!!  Mos burger is what Sango (Sango at Power Plant Mall November 13, 2009 ) is in the Philippines.  We normally order the yakiniku burger,

p1150210.JPGp1150220.JPG

but this time, I tried their burger which is the master burger in Sango.  

p1150216.JPG

Heart2Heart has to admit that the Sango Master Cheeseburger is even more YUMMY than the Mos one.  

But anyway, the family enjoyed spending New Year’s at Mos burger

Japanese Fresh Strawberries

By | Travel, Yummy! | 4 Comments

Heart2Heart loves strawberries!!! The Japanese make them so perfectly – they are so clean and shaped perfectly that sometimes you wonder if they are really fresh 🙂  Mom insists that there is a big difference in taste as the price goes higher 🙂 unlike buying the musk melon. Hmmm….

Rosetta

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Rosetta was recommended to us by our family friends, Mercy and Bob, who lived in Japan for a few years.  It was a bit hard to find as it is in the residential area.  A house converted into a restaurant….very nice and cozy and a perfect place to have a special dinner.  We all enjoyed our dinner.       

p1130931.jpgp1130930.jpgp1130996.JPGp1130941.JPGp1130934.JPGp1130965.JPG

There were 3 set menus to select from.  Since we were a group of 9, we were able to try all amongst all of us.  Heart2Heart really prefers sit down dinners where the food is served to you one by one and in small portions.  That way everyone is seated and can talk and eat properly
