Omakaze at Sensei Sushi

By | Foodie | 3 Comments

Heart2Heart is so so happy to be back at Sensei Sushi. We normally have a hard time repeating a restaurant or going back to the same one and not to mention all the way to BF Homes which is far from us, but I am addicted to something that he puts in his food 🙂  it must be the mixture of his secret sauces which I like and can’t get anywhere else

It was a good thing Chef Broosy said yes to my call and accepted our last minute reservation that day. I gave him only 5 hours notice.  I asked Dad and Mom to come and try – we came from the North, from Subic early morning and we went to the South to have a 3 hour Omakaze meal 🙂 From 715pm to around 1030pm we were there having a 16 course meal.  Poor dad and mom who sleep early – it was a good thing they enjoyed 🙂  It was worth it.  

We first sat in the bar as prepared by Chef Broosy but became too tight when James arrived so we transferred to a table.  The restaurant was full and people kept coming in and some waited outside

This was my request which I told Chef to put in our Omakaze – Wagyu Beef Tataki – unfortunately since we informed him very late, he did not have the shaved foie gras.  But it was still good

Grilled Banana

The menu which Chef explained to me are his popular dishes which used to be specials on the board.  He has chosen the best sellers of his menu and put them on this regular menu

So nice to see Bambi and Michelle who apparently are very good friends with Chef Broosy – what good supportive friends 🙂

New specials on the board – some of the dishes here were part of the Omakaze we had

omakaze-at-sensei-sushi-04.jpgomakaze-at-sensei-sushi-05.jpg

Since James and Edward were not counted for the Omakaze, they had to order ala carte – but of course we still shared with them our Omakaze

New Menu at Gourmet Garage Subic Bay Freeport Zone

By | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

I was so happy to be back in Subic just for the day – It’s really only a two hour drive – it’s a pleasant ride – the traffic really happens in Manila in Edsa but after that it’s straight all the way.  Mom and I left early and we did not have breakfast so that we could have breakfast in Gourmet Garage 🙂  I just love the placemats!
