Food review: Teriyaki boy + dinner date

   Before heading for work yesterday, I watched Jamie Oliver’s Jamie at home episode at TLC (Travel and living channel) his tuna recipe looked so yummy it made me crave, those ruby colored tuna made me salivate. Yes, I love Japanese food, specially raw fish just not the sea urchin and octopus.
     Anyway, so for dinner yesterday, I met up with the BF to have a dinner date, we were supposed to have dinner at Le Couer, but then I remembered they have Teriyaki boy at Alpha land. Below are pictures of what we had:





Right after this photo, my camera shut down  

For appetizer
                                             Salmon sushi 195
                                                    Yakisoba
                         Dynamite maki 
    The salmon sushi was yummy, the yakisoba noodles looked like instant noodles, but doesn’t taste like instant noodles at all. It was pretty good and was served hot at the table, I just forgot the price.
      The dynamite maki was freakingly SPICY, I love spicy but not for maki’s, even the sauce that came with , I didn’t like at all, it empowers the taste of the tuna. We weren’t able to finish the whole order of the maki. We are so not ordering this again.
“Main course”
                                        Ika fry P200+

                                                  Tonkatsu curry
 
 BF and I ordered the curry fry, the servings were huge. My order was the Ika fry, tasted like usual fried squid, but at least it was good, the curry sauce was yummy. I can tell the BF liked his order too since he finished the whole bowl.

And for the dessert

 Curts Yogurt

                                   BF’s order –yogurt with everything chocolate

                                 My order – candy coated chocolate and blueberry toppings
  
   I loved the yogurt, total costs P247 for just a regular sized one. But that was because BF ordered the special toppings, I had the regular which was 20 toppings each. The regular sized cup costs P78. BF only ate the toppings, which made me happy since I had more yogurt ice cream, yum~ thanks babe ;)
 
Our total bill for the food was P1,100


What can I say about Teriyaki boy?
      
The servings were quite huge, so for the price maybe it was worth it. Their rice is definitely not authentic japanese rice, what I like about the place is that, there’s many choices to choose from. The curry ika fry was yummy, I know I ate something similar to that in Rai Rai Ken. The prices seemed similar too.
My verdict? 3.3/5 spoons – definitely going back for the ika fry

*all photos were taken by BF with his Samsung ES30, my camera’s battery finally got exhausted (drained).

                                                       2 happy and full couple  - burps~


  Till then!

Tech talk: Samsung ES30 vs. NIKON L21 – Comparison

 

     BF bought a new toy, a Samsung ES30 and now he can finally blog with decent photos and videos, and with that we sort of made comparisons with his Samsung ES30 and with my NIKON L21. My camera only has 8MP, his has 12MP. Here are the photos taken with my recent food review at Piadina.

What I can say with our camera’s?

     It both has strong points and weak points, but regardless, It really depends on what you need for a camera. I like the beauty shot that Samsung exclusively has and the slightly wide angle it has compared to mine. As for my needs (in my camera), I like to see detail in my photos and crisp results.  M always say’s it’s a battle now who has the better photos, haha~
