Hug under the fireworks display.  (will upload a video soon)

Then they look for family with the most number of groups, they were given a pack of kisses and souveneir pins.  This event was not only for lovers/couples but for friends and the whole family as well.

Lovers...lovers...

Then we waited in line for the FREE Hug-A-Palooza picture!  Nice... worth waiting.

Love Shirts were also available for only Php290. Say I love you in different language.

Enchanted Kingdom's Hug-A-Palooza will be done annually starting this year.

Thanks to Az and  Enchanted Kingdom for the invite in this event.

Mom and Tina's Bakery Cafe

I was only able to try 2 desserts because I'm with someone who is not into sweets ;( There are lots of choices!

He loved breakfast meals so much and ordered Sausage and  Egg even I insisted to have an all dessert meal. T_T
Sausage and Egg Breakfast P195

I tried their Dark Toblerone Walnut Torte and Chocolate Banana Swirl
Dark Toblerone Walnut Torte P95,which is one of their best seller (I just overheard)

Chocolate Banana Swirl P35

This cute bakery cafe is located along C5 in front of SM Hypermarket, beside House of Minis.

At night, the place is so inviting, the old English interiors and lightings are so nice.

Next time I will try their Beehive, Mandarin Orange and Oreo Cheesecakes.

Sherlock Holmes Movie

Very nice and funny story. I wonder why some find it boring. It made me forgot that irritating girl who get my reserved seat. I just ignore her so as not to spoil my day, not to mention that the screen went blank for a second during the show. I can't believe it also happen to Eastwood. (I remember that Imax incident).

My bf said Sherlock is not portrayed as that in the book (physically), but overall the movie managed to show his traits like being unhygienic, musically inclined etc..
It was very funny that Robert Downey won Best Comedy Actor for this show while the Best comedy movie is Hangover.

Well, we're very excited to see its part 2. (^_^)

Hana at Little Tokyo

After having ramen and Gyoza from Shinjuku, we went to Hana which is located inside Little Tokyo when you enter the arches. They starts cooking their Takoyaki at 5pm. I forgot the taste of Takoyaki in Japan. I remember that it was serve steaming hot during the Hanami so I only managed to have a small bite.

Takoyaki Php100 for 6pcs

We ordered melon flavored snowcones. Wee! So yummy!!! (^_^)

We enjoyed it outside Hana while watching the Japanese kids running around the place while someone is ordering them to stop, "Yameru! Yameru!" he yelled. Lots of Japanese are going in and out of the restaurants around so it really feels like we are in different place.

Some pics inside Little Tokyo:

Shinjuku at Little Tokyo Makati

I've done my research before going to Little Tokyo which is located in Pasong Tamo beside Makati Cinema Square.

Foodie bloggers has been talking about Shinjuku for best Ramen and Gyoza so thats our first stop.

We wandered around the place and nearby Japanese grocery stores before entering Shinjuku restaurant.
Little Tokyo is just a small place but feels like being in another place (stranger in my own country) since there are lot of Japanese people around.

Shinjuku:

While waiting for our orders, we get some manga books to view.

Here is what we ordered:
The Ramen is big and is good for two. - P375

Hmm... I was just wondering why their noodle is curled like instant noodles, I was expecting like the one I've tried in Japan. The toppings is good though - soya beans, spinach, nori, egg.
Same for Gyoza, big and filling. P95

I don't eat Gyoza often so I really can't say if its the best Gyoza around. But it indeed makes me go back again there for their Gyoza.

Next we headed for Hana which is famous for their Takoyaki and Kakigori!

PepperSteak

We are so full after having our dinner here.

We loved the pepper rice and it gives me an idea how to spice up our meal at home, I was just ignoring our pepper.

When ordering, fill up the order form given to you and when ready flip up the "Move" sign in the table.

The video instructions helped a lot on how to enjoy your meal.

Cook the other side of the meat before pouring the sauce and mix it afterwards.

Here is our order, we loved everything except the Watermelon juice (so sweet eew!)

Beef Pepper Steak Php195

Pork Pepper Steak Php155

Extra Pepper Rice Php45

Watermelon shake Php65 (huhu this is very very sweet and after seeing boxes of juices in their kitchen, we concluded this is not a real/natural fruit shake)






Located @: Robinsons Galleria 4th Flr near MovieWorld, they also have branches at SM Megamall Atrium and I see one in Eastwood City.
