Us Being Pigs | Yakimix 2.0

Us Being Pigs | Yakimix 2.0
I know I told you that this would come right after this blog post but I don't know why I felt like doing a review on CL's new music video. Anyhow. This is really unexpected, you guys. Had I known that we're gonna eat there, I wouldn't have had breakfast. So the branch we went to is at SM North Edsa which I surely didn't see before but my cousin told me she saw it and stuff so yeah. I actually had experience eating here before and I enjoyed it and I thought I wanted to share that experience with my cousin so we went.


We probably took all the prawns in this particular tray because I remember telling my cousin how I am craving for it and that I wanted to go to Yakimix just because of that. But at the end, we thought that it's not really a brilliant idea since it took time for us to open the shell and eat the thing. It's only bad because we only have a limited time to eat. Somehow.


I think we were able to try at least 90% of the raw food because the food that I didn't get on my plate was on my cousin's and we actually share the things we get. Not so much on the cooked food because I feel like we can have it somewhere else. I think. And when I asked my cousin to get us the cooked food, she was like, "never mind".


One piece of advice I could give you is to probably go light with your meats. SEAFOOD ALL THE WAY! Can I just say that I'm pretty sure we swept away that rolls with veggies as well. 


Our first plate! My cousin was the one doing the grilling and when I was turning the food, and like tossing them like frying stuff, she was like, don't do that! The spicy stuff would mix with the normal ones and I was like, AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT! Because whatever you do, that thing would happen. Don't even bother segregating.


Okay I have a kwento. Our friend Diana is supposed to join us but she can't make it unless it's like a holiday, dinner, or weekends. And the thing is the fee is kind of different in all those situations so I was like, we can't probably make it all together. Here's the deal. The buffet fee is 520 php on weekdays except holidays and higher on weekends and holidays of course and then when it's dinner, weekends, or holidays, you have to pay an extra to avail their all-you-can-drink promo so it's really better if it's lunch, non-holiday, and weekday. Hooray!


Cousin's face! LOL. She's like talking to the stuff on her plate and it's as if she's telling them something like, "just be patient." Okay I'll stop. LOL.

HEAVEN ON EARTH
I also have a kwento on this. My cousin's in charge of the grilling, right? I was then the one taking food for us and she was like, SUSHI! And then when I was getting stuff from this boat, the guy standing there was literally making me feel like I'm getting too much. Not in a bad way or something but he was like asking the chef to make more of the sushi I'm getting while I'm getting it. Oh well. I probably got 4 of each kind so we could have 2 each.


As much as I loved their desert, I was a little bit disappointed because the way they displayed it on the mini bar thing isn't as sophisticated as the one in Robinson's but anyways. The Blueberry Cheesecake is probably my favorite. Which is not on the picture by the way.

I Won't Go Home Without You!

I Won't Go Home Without You!
SAY HI TO MY HAIR BOW
Yesterday, I decided to renew my driving license which expired last Feb 14  and it's never a good thing to have an expired license around. I did a little bit of research before going to the renewal center and people generally had a good and easy experience but I didn't feel that ease that much. Although it's really so much better than the initial license application. I guess it's also my fault that I didn't go there early enough. But anyways. I went out my cousin at around 10 am and we reached the renewal center an hour after and then what? The guy at the counter said that I could fill in the form thingy and just come back after 1 because they have a cut off daw. Wow ha. I wish I could have a 2 hour break din. So what can I do? I filled in the form and submitted it to the guy and left the place. It's a good thing that it's very near a mall so we went. 


Before going out our house, we already decided to eat at Yakimix because my cousin told me she haven't eaten there yet so since I had a good experience before, I agreed! I will have a separate post about my Yakimix experience part 2 right after this particular post so you could look forward to that. Or not. Whatever. NO REGRETS. 

"WALANG HIYA-HIYA"
Okay so the last picture I would be showing you guys is the most wonderful experience of yesterday. When I finally got my license, which took us about 3 long hours, we went back to the mall and then I saw this! And of course, must take pictures! I actually don't pay much attention to posters but then this is like divine intervention. So that was my day yesterday. It was so much fun! :) Can I just say that I was really happy when I saw my license picture. I hope I can show you my previous one but that picture is a mess, to be honest. I was supposed to take a picture of that but my cousin wanted to play Candy Crush on my phone and when she already finished playing, the lady at the counter already called me and asked me to surrender the previous one so, too bad. Also, can I just say that I didn't know you could look at a person and know their blood pressure right away. If you want to know how it's done, then ask the doctor in charge in that license renewal center because I don't know. Magic perhaps. That's all! :)

Yakimix. Food Trip!

Yakimix. Food Trip!
It was my sister's birthday last Sunday and thank goodness for my schedule. Like, I was from night duty so whatever but the point is I'M OFF. So we went to Robinson's Place Manila a short while after I came home. That would be around 9:00 am I guess? Yup. So we went kind of early to buy my sister stuff.


This is the first plate that I got. Thought I'd share it with you. :)) The best thing that I liked in this buffet is that they have sea foods! Which I like. Actually, there's like a reminder on the table that says we should have a separate plate for cooked and raw stuff but you know, I really wanted to taste their Lechon Kawali so I got a piece of that. Surprisingly good so I definitely recommend you try it whenever you decide to eat there or something. 


Already cooking the stuff I got. I must say that the sea foods are really my fave. I also did enjoy everything else though. 


Hello to my "FROM DUTY" face. Haha mess.Can I just say that I am the person in-charge of actually grilling stuff and putting it to people's plates so when we took most of the photos, I was like "yung niluluto ko masusunog na!" Haha wala lang.


The one with the mayonnaise on top was DELISH! Like, it's not entirely raw. Kind of steamed and it was perfection! The rest was okay. I also like the one with TUNA in it. They also have a wide selection of sweets! Like, heaven.


I think the Chocolate Cake was popular because there were only two slices left on the table.


They got cakes, fruits, ice creams, jellos, tarts, fruit salads, sweet nuts, sweet potato chips, crinkles, cupcakes, and more!


Can I just say that these little things are love? I only had the cheesecakes though because I was already full but others actually don't look as appealing as the cheesecakes. I had two Blueberry Cheesecakse and one Cheese Mousse Cake, 


Awesome, right?

 Can I just say that I've just noticed that there's like a formed heart there? Awesome. And the white cake is actually the Cheese Mousse I was talking about awhile ago.


Us sporting our sweets! :) And mom was quite proud because the one she's holding is the same color as her top. Haha. Yun lang.
