Date # 6: Omakase
Click on the thumbnails to enlarge.
Walking into Omakase is like taking a breath of fresh air, because its interiors are far more sophisticated relative to its not so posh surroundings. If ever you find time to go out of your way and visit this restaurant in Libis, I’m sure you won’t regret it.
Bottomless iced tea
This was light and refreshing, and it had that roasted taste of Japanese tea....

Chicken Quesadillas - P190
Agave Mexican Cantina is a place couples should visit if they want to enjoy light and healthy snacks along with refreshing cocktails or perhaps bottles of beer. It’s fit for long, romantic dinners together, doing nothing but talking about anything under the sun.

New York Cheesecake Yogurt - P155 (small) + Cookies and Cream P20 + Rainbow Sprinkles P20

The ambiance is relaxing, fit for staying...

Medium-Sized Gelato Cup (2 Flavors) (It costs P200 with a bottle of water. I forgot its price without the water, sorry :-/)

Date # 3.1: John and Yoko: Cosmopolitan Japanese
CLICK ON THUMBNAILS TO ENLARGE.
(Forgive the Caution: Wet Floor sign. It wasn’t our fault.)
Many would remember the John and Yoko tandem from the 50s’ most controversial couple: John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Although not explicitly said but greatly implied, this hip and modern restaurant makes use of the same East meets West concept.
Cosmopolitan means being universal. The...
