my sushi afternoon

adrian and i promised not to join the throng of people who go to THE SALES after the christmas holidays. (not that we have loads of money to spend to buy unneccessary things after the holiday period ) like me, he too hates throngs of people pushing one another to buy a piece of garment or gadget which you dont normally buy anyway if it was on normal price.

its the same every year, we tend to wait for the crowd to die down (around middle of january before we start attacking the shops and dispense with our hard earned cash to the sales ploy).

unfortunately, that wasnt the case this year. because the last of the holiday celebration ended yesterday (friday), we had time to kill this weekend. after a morning of reconfiguring the house prior to the three-man holidaymaker typhoon that hit it, i had a sudden craving that hit me.

sushi.

darn these japanese food cravings. and darn you karla for introducing tuna sushi to my palate.

thank goodness, i was able to put it on hold until 4 pm when the people started to die down from the malls.

when we got there, the carpark was still filled to its capacity, and the mall bursting to its doors with bargain hunters.

the first stop was yo sushi. not exactly a proper japanese restaurant, but its got sushi that i dont have to wait to be cut up, and the rest of the menu is right up there on the conveyor belt for you to pick up and start munching.

adrian feels loyalty to yo sushi because its the quickest saviour to my sanity on certain craving days. plus they are quick and not bad a service. and its everywhere around town.

after a hearty fill of raw goodness, we went around to some shops we normally go in, and got out, with 3 bags of bargains, and another 2 bags of christmas stuff for the house back in cebu (forward thinking, they say).

our patience werent tested too much with the crowds because it was dying down once we started hitting the shops.

we came home at 8 pm, feeling all spiced up (*burp*sashimi), and alot of pounds lighter (not the weight unfortunately, sterling pounds i meant).

nang dahil sa sushi...wasnt there a song of that title?

try tides at shangrila.. mahal lang pero nice panagsaan. my favorite is at country mall called ofukosan. when you go there, you will feel so japanese. even the people who go there japanese hapit tanan.

hiddenrage said...

hi mai=) we tried tides too in shangrila,but i wasnt into sushi then... but that was a bangka of one of our friends so i didnt know how mahal=)yes, karla has mentioned ofukosan to me..she said its nice coz if you get a bento box, its got everything na in it, which makes it cheaper=)
