Sekitori: Abundant Servings, Horigotatsu and Slow Service

Mr. C and I were with some friends one afternoon exploring Little Tokyo to try out some Japanese chow. We saw Sekitori then I took a peak if the place looked presentable. What caught my attention was the Japanese themed ambiance so I immediately dragged Mr. C and our friends to give it a try.

It is a rare customary for Japanese restaurants nowadays, especially here in Manila to require customers from removing their shoes before going inside the dining area. So this is already one remarkable aspect of Sekitori that makes it interesting to eat there.

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.

Mexicali Glorietta: Burrito Quest continues

We frequently pass by this Mexican restaurant because of its proximity to our workplace but we were hesitant to try it here because of our lack of exposure to Mexican food. Thanks to our recent burrito quest, our heart is becoming closer to Mexican dishes. One lunch time when we were so starving, we decided to venture in what Mexicali has to offer and good thing it didn't disappoint. At least not that much. Overall, we can still say that this is a home of quality Mexican food.

The place is a bit small but is fitting to its Mexican theme, with the banderitas, murals and background music.
