Chilling at Starting Point

After Joed's, the group decided to chill at Starting Point (Panagdait, Mabolo). Drinks and bands was the main act. I haven't tasted their food yet. The place has a relaxed atmosphere but it gets really noisy. We had to scream just to hear each other (it doesn't work most sometimes) until we decided to move outside. Talking inside was impossible.

Dinner at Joed's Lutong Hapon

For the WWP's monthly dinner which happened on April 8, 2011; we decided to try Joed's Lutong Hapon located beside Mabolo's elevated basketball court. Great Japanese food at a very affordable price. My pocket was not empty at the end of the night!

I gobbled lots of California Maki, Ria's oder of Ebi Tempura, Noyl's order of Sashimi, and 3/4 of their Beef Teriyaki bowl. I could not finish the whole bowl since I was eating and drinking Coke at the same time. Carbon, carbon, carbon.

Ebi Tempura plate P95

Beef Teriyaki bowl P95

I find the Teriyaki too sweet but it didn't stop me from eating almost all of it. Mike ate the rest. :p

Sashimi plate P150

I forgot what this was but it sure was good! :p

Joed's Lutong Hapon by the way is not your usual "fine dining" type of eating. It's just a carenderia type which makes it so great and relaxed!

I think they adjusted their recipes to make it more satisfying for the Filipino tongue. Drinks were self-service. :)
