Boracay Birthday Week

Here's some snaps I took while on vacay in Boracay for my birthday week last February :)

Travel time from the airport to Caticlan port was almost 2 hours =/

FBF: Dressing Room Series 11

Such a loooong time since I last posted my flashback/throwback dressing room posts. 

Here are two sweet outfits for a comeback lol ;)

Summer time means wearing a flirty floral dress and this pretty number is so perfect for taking a stroll at the park or something lol <3

Dress and shoes from Zara

If you don't like to wear a dress, just wear a pastel top paired with cute shorts <3

Easy breezy and dainty ;)

Tsumura Sushi Bar and Restaurant, Makati

Few months ago, I was researching on restaurants where I can get the best uni here in Manila.

 I really wanted to eat authentic uni and ikura when I went to Japan last December but unfortunately, wasn't able to :( 

One of the restos that were highly recommended for the best sushi in town was Tsumura.

Here's my experience...

 Free Appetizer: Sunomono (Cucumber Salad)

This is really refreshing!

Nigiri Moriawase Aoi: P995

All I can say is that I've died and gone to sushi heaven! lol. It tastes really exceptional.

To be honest, I don't often eat raw sushi in most Japanese restos here in Manila--coz I have trust issues with the freshness lol. So sadly, I cannot compare it to other restaurants.

Though, from the sushi and sashimi that I've tried in hotel buffets, I can say that Tsumura's selection is really superb compared to the others <3

A closer look at this heavenly plate <3

More yummy goodness

Uni-don 

A whole bowl of Uni goodness. OMG!

It has rice underneath, fyi.

My new found favorite, Shirako Ponzu (P500) ~fish milt/testes of fish  haha

Sooooo yummy. It's like foie gras...seafood version LOL

I'm so glad the kareshi asked me if I've ever tried this. Now, I have a new dish to order every time I'm at a sushi bar haha

Ikura!!

So pretty <3 However, it was a bit too salty for my taste =/

Had to gobble up spoonfuls of rice to balance out the saltiness.

Another new discovery, Dobin Mushi #nomnom

from wikipedia: traditional Japanese seafood broth, steamed and served in a dobin tea pot with shrimp, chicken, soy sauce, lime, and matsutake mushroom.

FYI, this is my kareshi's bday dinner hehe <3

With Mr. Tsumura himself yay! He's so cute haha

Verdict:

FOOD

Everything was extremely appetizing. The kareshi highly approves of it (he's Japanese) so it means that quality is really good. Thumbs up!

I highly recommend the Nigiri Moriawase plate, uni and shirako ponzu <3

SERVICE

Service was wonderful. Attentive and courteous staff.

THE MAIN QUESTION

Will I go back?

Of course! I'll probably go back here again when the kareshi is back in town LOL
