January Treat Part 1: Sakae Sushi

One Saturday afternoon, I asked the two people I'm with to eat at this place.

Sakae Sushi 01

I've been wanting to eat here ever since I heard of their conveyor belt sushi. So you can just imagine how thrilled I was that I finally get to check out the place plus satiate my Japanese food craving.

The three of us availed of their All-You-Can-Eat sushi for Php 399. It came with miso soup and hot/cold green tea (plus a 20% discount on all additional orders aside from what were available on the conveyor).

Unlimited sushi! Just about enough to make our Saturday complete. Truth be told that the first few minutes, I was actually eating more than what the other two were having (already combined). Apparently, Rai said they were just taking it slow so they won't get to be full in an instant. *Oh yeah, I was having my low EQ moment that time. :p

One can order the sushi ala carte. Prices are based on their plate's color scheme: Php39 for purple, Php59 for yellow, Php79 for green, and Php99 for red plates. Most that we ate were of yellow and green sushi plates.

We stayed until we were really really full. All in all, we agree that their sushi isn't so bad. We've had better and we've also had worse, but for that Php399 amount, I say it's worth my Japanese food fix.

Quick New Year Post

Happy New Year!!!

I can't believe it's 2010 already. I wanted to make a rundown post of 2009 for me and make a list of resolutions, too. There's just so little time as of the moment to do so. In fact, I haven't actually stayed in the house for more than 2 days since the Christmas holiday started (that is December 24 until January 3 for me). A first time since I'm used to just staying home to spend December break. I might really need a vacation soon.

But for the meantime,
here's my 2009 in pictures.
