Sasahama: The humble authentic Japanese restaurant in Kawit, Cavite

Sasahama is that one humble Japanese restaurant which became our favorite food trip spot in Cavite. I say humble because they're not aggressive in expanding their business to other areas even after a decade of success. Moreover, their restaurant vibe only makes you feel like dining in a simple, old home.

Their frequent customers are the Japanese folks living around this area, but they're pretty known by local people too. We are one of the satisfied customers here who keep coming back.

"Irasshaimase!" You will be greeted enthusiastically by their staff upon entering. They wear different costumes every day. This time around, they wore kimono.

 

Cafe Via Mare: A cafe of Filipino Classics

Mr. C is not a fan of classic Filipino food because he has a strong belief that you can have it better at home through lutong bahay. Well, I would have to agree with him, because he and my mother-in-law make fantastic home-cooked food. However, since there was a send-off party with his team at work and Cafe Via Mare was the agreed meeting place, we were forced to give it a try.

Seafood Island Imus: A Seafood Feast

As a celebration for our baby's 10th month which fell on a weekend, we decided to go out for lunch. Since my mother-in-law is a balikbayan, she craved for seafood -  the thing that tastes horribly in the States. Hence, we chose Seafood Island located at The District, Imus as the place to eat.

We had a hard time deciding which group meal to choose so each of us ended up with our individual selections.

Even our little one couldn't decide.

Mama's Fish House at Diniwid Beach

As suggested by Solitary Wanderer, we got curious about Mama's Fish House restaurant, which is located at Diniwid Beach, the quiet beach beside the crowded White Beach. They offer an array of international food that guarantees fresh ingredients, especially their seafood recipes.

After a few hours of bathing and lounging by the beach, we traversed the shore until we reached Microtel Inn, the hotel where Mama's Fish House is tucked in.

It was an early lunch and lean season so this was the scene that welcomed us inside the place. Right. We were the only ones who ate there that morning.
