Karen, Kring and I suddenly had the impulse to go to Libis and eat lunch at Omakase today. With her dependable car, Karen zipped our way to Libis with ease and I wondered where the Friday traffic is? Her car’s name by the way is Herc, short for Hercules. How cute. When you see her car, you’d know why.
I wasn’t really excited to eat since I’ve gained a significant 5 lbs over the past 2 weeks. I have been eating so much for a month now and I don’t get full at all. I keep on eating and eating right after eating and eating. It doesn’t help too that I’d be going to Calaguas Island in 2 weeks time. But I’ve heard so much about Omakase that when Karen picked Japanese cuisine, I just blurted Omakase.
It was a pretty busy restaurant at 110pm even right when we left at 2pm.
On the Table
Yasai Itame (JC’s order) PHP 95
Yasai means vegetable in Japanese. It is your regular stir-fried vegetables. Presentation wasn’t appetizing but I finished it. I like vegetables anyway. It was a mixture of bean sprouts, onions, cabbage, string beans and green bell pepper.
Kakiage (still JC’s order) PHP 130
Trying hard to be healthy, I ordered another vegetable dish. You have to take note that trying to be healthy, I disregard the fact that one is stir fried while the other is deep fried with flour. Healthy? Who am I trying to fool?
Dynamite Roll (JC’s order) PHP 260
I’ve placed an order for two vegetable dishes already. I asked the waiter what their bestseller in sushi is and he said Dynamite Roll without batting an eyelash. I said ok without batting an eyelash.
The Dynamite roll had in it, salmon and spicy tuna topped with salmon skin and roe. It was served with garlic mayo dip in kikoman soy sauce. Although it had too much going on, I enjoyed the dynamite roll a lot.
Cold Soba Noodles and Soup (Karen’s) –I remember eating cold soba noodles in Japan… ooh yum!!! I had to finish all of my food that I didn’t get to try Omakase’s version.
Omakase Soup (Karen’s)
California Crunch (Kring’s) –I like Red Kimono’s California Crunch better.
What a refreshing lunch that made me realize Libis is not too far away. Haha, what am I saying? I’d go all the way to Makati to eat at Elbert’s!
