It's been a week!

Hello! It's been a long and productive week for me. There were 3 things about this week that I loved the most:

1) Last Tuesday was Sashimi day! I've been craving for this since my birthday! It's one of my favorite food in the wooorld! I don't know why it took me about a month to satisfy my craving when in fact 2 Japanese restaurants are just around the city. I swear I have to eat this again next week!

2. I'm working as a volunteer nurse again. I know I didn't blog about this, but, I resigned from Pangasinan Provincial Hospital days before my birthday. I couldn't stand the 1-hour jeepney ride from Dagupan to San Carlos city, the traffic and the road construction stresses me more than the work load. After one month of rest, I am now working as a volunteer nurse in Region 1 Medical Center, just a 5-minute tricycle ride from our house. I'm on my second day of duty and I'm still adjusting with everything. Wish me luck!

Just a glimpse of the road construction along Dagupan. The Calasiao bridge is also under construction so going to San Carlos would take you twice as long.  The congested, dusty, and narrow one-lane streets make travelling much more stressful.

3. I had a 2-day stay in Manila and it is the best 2 days of my April!!! I'm always at my happiest whenever I go there, just like how a little kid feels when he's in Disneyland. I also miss my Manila friends, too bad I didn't get the chance to see even just one of them. But still, I had a blast with my Tito, Tita and cousin. More on my 2-day "vacation" on my next post.

Nomnomnom!

Best thing about last week? The food. I attended Tita Fely's and Biboy's birthday parties, dined out with family  and workmates, and ate breakfast the whole week. Yay me!

Here's last week in photos:

Maki Yaki night

So I've been seeing a lot of ads of new places to eat just around the city, and we couldn't wait to try all of  it. After hearing mass last Sunday, we headed to MetroPlaza to satisfy our Japanese food cravings.

Maki Yaki Japanese restaurant located at MetroPlaza, AB Fernandez St., Dagupan City

The place was cozy yet small, it can only serve 30-35 guests at a time. We had to wait outside for 15 minutes to get seated.

They made us wait for another 30 minutes for the free appetizers. And guess what they served: roasted peanuts. I expected something Japanese, like a maki or sashimi. Haha.

After 30 more minutes, they served real food

California Maki rolls

Some seafood ramen. Doesn't look appetizing but it tastes good.

My beef teppan don. I like how sweet the beef strips are, but they're slightly dry. I like my green bell peppers not only for pizza, also for rice dishes! Yum!

The best thing I tasted that night. Mochi ice cream! I'm officially hooked.

I can't compare Maki Yaki with Enso (another Japanese resto in Orient Pacific Center) 'cause we ordered different dishes. Also, I still have to try Maki Yaki's sashimi. Will definitely come back for the Mochi ice cream! :3
