Barbecued meat.  These recent days/ weeks that we’ve been dining at japanese restaurants have been different experience for us.  We don’t order the usual dish and I’m glad!  I love these grilled meats!  For me, our orders tasted almost the same so it’s equally good!  Too bad that the beef tongue was out of stock! I’m too curious to try it out.  Don’t forget to order your rice!  Yummy!

Kani Salad (P240).

So different from the Kani salad you’re accustomed to…they have sliced hard boiled eggs, sliced tomato and shoyu sauce!  Winner! AD loved this salad! Next time, JX would also be sharing our food!

If you’re alone, just order this and you’ll be full!  But in a few hours time, you’ll be wanting to eat again.

Chyashyu Men (P300). All Meat Ramen with Shoyu Sauce.

Surprisingly, the meat was very good.  It was tender and you can barely see the fat.  We loved slurping the soup!

I hope in our next visit, we’d have our taste of the beef tongue! :D  and rice!

We are always hungry by the time we enter a restaurant so whenever there is a complimentary bread being served, we are sure to eat it to temporarily satisfy our hunger.  And we were glad to have eaten these yummy bread!  Actually, I’ve had several of the olive and walnut bread.  The olive had that sour-y taste while the walnut bread had bits of walnuts in it.  I liked how the olive bread tasted and best of all, it had the right chewiness of a bread.  The walnut bread reminded me of a bread my HB used to buy when he goes to Singapore.  (That was eons ago!)

I’d probably buy this IF I have a daughter…so I’ll also have an excuse to use it if she has no school or will just be staying home for the weekend.  But definitely, I’ll be going gaga if I see so many dents!….I know, I know, you buy it to use it not to just keep it scratch free!  But I pay a huge amount of money just to have dents on it?….. And yep, that’s why I’m the only one in the family who doesn’t have a SIGG bottle.  I don’t want my SIGG bottle to be scratched nor with dents!…That’s my story….but I’m almost there….there….into getting one….

 We arrived at Tuguegarao a day early prior to our all adventure trip not knowing what we’ll be doing.  Yes, it was HB’s task to make our itinerary and keep the ball rolling just for a day.  Little did we know that we’d stuff ourselves with pansit ~ carbo loading!

For this trip, we tried 2 kinds of Pansit ~ Pansit Batil-Patong and Pansit Cabagan.

Both looks similar except for its toppings.

Batil-Patong (L)  is pansit guisado with cara beef and fried egg on top.  The red hotdog looks ridiculous, included maybe to add color to the boring state of the pansit.  Pansit Cabagan (R) looks like your pansit palabok minus the pale color with its lechon carahay and the mini eggs.

Honestly, the pansit taste no different in Manila BUT what made the difference was….

….this sauce! Slices of onion (mint candy anyone?), soy sauce, vinegar and calamansi….mixed them together then put it into the noodles!  It’s yummy!  Although, I wouldn’t go to Tuguegarao JUST to taste it because I think it’s easy to replicate it.  One thing you need to know is that they use their own noodles.  They make it fresh so making it on your own might have a different taste…but I don’t think it would make a BIG difference :)  As long as you like how your pansit is cooked and your sauce concoctions are based on your taste, you’re like having pansit in Tuguegarao!
