Frizberry Yogurt opening at SM!


I just love frozen yogurt and the mall rat that I am, pretty much excited with the opening of Frizberry at SM City Cebu on March 8, 2010! Fresh Yogurt that is healthy and fresh as per owner Mitchel Colina. Fresh, tasty and quality food and beverages that meets nutritional standards.

Mitchel (who by the way is my highschool classmate) invited me to experience Frizberry on its opening together with 14 other web writers to experience the healthy and yummy frozen treats!

Nonki

Restaurant: Nonki
Branch: AS Fortuna Mandaue City (Beside SkyCable Bldg)
Food: Japanese
Type: Casual Dining
Mode of Payment: Cash/ Card
Tel. No: 4223159


Father Torvz is going on a vacation so we had a little Japanese send off party just for him. Kara, Tonton, Edd, Ceigey and I met up at Seattle's Best before heading down to Nonki AS Fortuna and meet Father Torvz. E totally missed the fun dinner coz she was busy with law exams!

For starters we had Seafood Kaminabe (Priced at 310php). Kaminabe or Japanese paper steamboat has shrimp, fishballs and vegetables on a broth. We also had the special sashimi(price available by request) with salmon and uni sashimi.



We then had bentos for our main course! Beef bento for me (Priced at 250php). 2 small sized tempuras, big serving of Japanese rice, Beef, eggplant fan and vegetable on a bento. Yum!


A variety of sake or rice wine are available and prices differ depending on the brand. Price starts at 160 per serving/shot. It can be served hot ot cold. Cold Sake makes you taste the full sake's semi bitter taste. You'd trully distinguish a cheap sake from a fine sake when its cold. If your ordering a cheap shot of sake, you can mask the cheap taste by having it warmed to give it a smooth kick!

Kara the Tangera! or mad scientist? hehehe

For busy people like E, Homer, Edd, Kara and I, we find comfort in food! We had a scheduled get together dinner at Canvas after work and as expected I was the last to arrive at the table. Pardon me people for I work an hour away from the city of Cebu and have to battle traffic! raaawr! hehe

Canvas! You might have noticed the waiters and waitresses showing you the menu while your walking the 2nd level of the terraces which some people find annoying. But for me , I love Canvas! Will definitely go back!

I ordered Pork Medallions with grain mustard sauce, grilled tiger prawn and pesto spinach fettuccini. Entree 195php and Main Course priced at 295php. I love the fresh basil taste on the pesto, the tender & juicy grilled prawn and the taste of the grain mustard sauce on the pork medallions.

Another dish I sampled was chicken wrapped in Pancetta on thyme garlic jus with vegetable cous cous. Price: 270php. Yum!
