We went to Alphaland to try out Sakura by Edo San. This is supposedly for members only but if you call Chef Edo San he will accommodate you
Chef Edo San who is half Filipino ( Ilonggo ) and half Japanese
What looked like a centrepiece was actually Japanese Popcorn which you can eat
I love the presentation with the fish bowl under and a goldfish swimming in it!!
Aburi anything here is so yummy! Aburi Uni
Special beef from Japan – Japanese Miyasaki Beef- supposedly even higher quality than Kobe beef. Chef Edo San made sure I took a photo of the beef uncooked to see the marbling
Birthday Cake- Sushi Pizza for the birthday celebrant, James
We actually went to the branch in Alphaland Southgate Tower in Pasong Tamo before going to the newer one, Chef Edo San invited us to try the new place since he had complete ingredients there including sashimi that comes fresh. So this was our first visit
I like the place though it can get a bit stuffy and smoky because of the cooking being done and the private room feels deteriorated
All the Aburi sushi were really good!!! Hotate/Scallops
Beef Usuyaki
I loved this presentation and also the taste 🙂 Dynamite Maki

We went to visit the new Alphaland Makati Place mainly to go to a restaurant in the City Club. There is a Rustan’s Supermarket in the complex that is already opened
We went to the City Club and they toured us around the place. It is and exclusive club which is more members only. Like Balesin, this place takes you to many different countries through the cuisine offerings and they have nice facilities that are all brand new and that are hardly used. It’s very nice and peaceful at the moment and you have the facilities to use all to yourself. I wish I were a member!
Gym
Everything is white in the Spa!! 🙂
Beautiful pool and lounging area

Congratulations Donna Tan ( now Ng ) and Dianne Tan on the 2nd Anniversary of Sariwon. I am a fan of these two ladies and will always support them
Previous entry: Sariwon Korean Barbecue April 26, 2012
and on the 2nd store in Promenade Greenhills!
We celebrated with Sangri Soju which uses Korean sake
Lots of appetisers which is unlimited. You can ask for more and more 🙂
They have a new beef dish which is their highest grade of USDA Prime beef short ribs
Soondubu Chigae hot and spicy tofu soup served with rice
A great idea to have set meals! Donna said they are more value for money since they are also priced cheaper

Congratulations to my cousins, Marga Santos Lorenzana, Trisha Ding Santos, Eugene Lorenzana and Bubu Santos on the opening of Motorino! With Owner, founder and chef Mathieu Palombino and John Lopez, Operations Manager
Even their parents, Tito Butch and Tita Bing Bing were very active in setting the business up and making sure everything went smoothly
Motorino born in Napoli, raised in Brooklyn now Open in Manila! At Greenbelt 3, 3rd floor. Motorino means small motorcycle and just like a small motorcycle that can go around easily and is accessible to all types of people, that is how he wants Motorino to be, a pizza for everyone to enjoy
Mathieu has been here for a month to set up and train the staff of Motorino. He worked in many restaurants in New York – Executive Chef of Brasserie Ruhlmann Art and First Chef de Cuisine of BLT amongst many others. He is very hands on and has very strict standards
Watch him make the pizza dough!! According to my cousin Marga, this is the least fattening pizza among all pizzas in the city since ingredients are not processed and they come from Napoli

As soon as you enter is the To Go counter
Backdrop of the Williamsburg Bridge – Motorino opened it’s first branch in 2007 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn across Peter Luger Steakhouse. The second branch will open in East Village, New York and there are two branches in Hong Kong
Only pizzas made the right way and no pasta here at Motorino
Mushroom and Sausage. All pizzas use Fiori di Latte flown in from Napoli together with other of the key ingredients
The New York way of eating a pizza, LIFT
Meatball pizza Special which is not on the menu. They make the meatballs fresh everyday and only the regulars know about this special
Pizza wine which is on the sweet side which is what I like. It is from the Amalfi Coast made out of 3 different grapes
Delicious Tiramisu which is made in house with Mathieu’s recipe
Love the Mama Mary altar in the restaurant
