Red Letter Day at Red Kimono

My parent’s celebrated their wedding anniversary by having an intimate dinner for two at Woo Choon, a Korean Restaurant in Flushing Queens, NY.

We also had a sponsored post dinner anniversary celebration at Red Kimono, a Modern Japanese Restaurant in Ayala Terraces, Cebu.

My original plan was for us to dine at The Port Seafood Restaurant where the eat all you can dinner was at Php299 only and comes with lechon in Waterfront Hotel Lahug, but since we were carless, it was more accessible to dine in the mall where there was the convenient v-hire on the way home. Also, while passing Ayala’s Atrium, Aiza Seguerra was singing some love songs. I called my sister to ask if she hasn’t ordered yet but she already did. Too bad, it would have been lovely to hear romantic songs while we ate at Cafe Laguna. It slipped my mind that it was Earth Day and Ayala mall had some entertainment planned for the shoppers. 

I came in late with daughter in tow because i woke up past 5PM already. I worked until about 2PM and needed to get some sleep to soothe my throbbing head. I had my sister choose between Mesa and Red Kimono at the Terraces, both of  which i haven’t tried yet. She chose the latter and we paid an almost equivalent amount in dollars of what my parents paid for their dinner in NY . I  somehow went over the given budget for our sponsored dinner. Our Japanese and Korean looking cousins happened to pass by and we invited them to join us . The dinner for five turned to be a fun dinner for seven, a group looking like a fusion of different Asian Races.

Somehow, my not so little brother didn’t quite enjoy his meal. Either that or he was just getting worried about inheriting the receding hairline of my Dad’s clan. Hubby was not very full either maybe because the serving was too small or the fact then he isn’t into Japanese food. My li’l girl wanted lumpia but of course the restaurant didn’t have it in the menu. The attendant suggested Gyoza but  when i counted the pieces that came with the price, i declined. I can buy around 3 dozens of Siomai sa Tisa with the price. 

Next time we will dine at Larsian instead — as long we handcarry a chocolate Red Ribbbon cake to satisfy my sweet tooth it doesn’t really matter because i am an isaw-eating pinay. =)

Happy Anniversary again to my Mommy and Papa! Thank you so much for our dinner.
