Thursday Tripping

I met up with Babe, who gave me these awesome goodies for Christmas! A Belle de Jour planner with a handwritten message inside from him. It’s always nice seeing the fruits of his labor so girls, go buy one and have it signed by Pao. Haha. Kidding! The Murakami books are great additions to my book collection too. I asked for Chuck Palahniuk’s Invisible Monsters and Haruki Murakami’s Kafka on the Shore but those books weren’t available so he bought these instead. <3

Oh, we had dinner at Tempura too. We stuffed ourselves with yummy Japanese delights. I had Gomoku Ramen and watermelon shake. Babe had some sort of pork or beef something. We also had Mixed Maki, Ebi Salad and that dish on the white plate which I don’t remember.

Second Christmas with Babe. Yay!

Holy Cow!

We haven’t seen each other for more than a week that’s why Babe and I decided to meet at Megamall on Wednesday. We headed on over to Holy Cow Steak Ranch and American Grill after seeing the enticing tarpaulin hanging outside Chinabank.

I ordered a well done Fillet Mignon Steak and root beer. I forgot what Babe, Wedan and Ken ordered though I clearly remembered it’s a cook-it-yourself dish (Ranch Style Porkchop, Beef Strips or Burgersteak). Jeck had Bean Master’s Honey Lemon Chicken. My steak was tender and juicy–cooked just right. I think the steak was supposed to be wrapped with a bacon strip but the bacon was set on the side. Nevermind that because the steak was awesome. By the way, I wish Holy Cow could change the size of their root beer mug. It’s too darn small!

Babe and I ended up buying their 159-peso card that’ll be good for six months. It came with coupons for Tempura, Flavors of China and Holy Cow too. Babe is extremely fond of promos like that and I’m starting to like the idea too. You really get to save bucks in the long run. We also got a big-ass platter of chicken and onion rings (they ran out of fries) as appetizer for racking up a 1,000+ bill and availing of the rewards card.

Babe’s plate!

The boys were trying to figure out if Holy Cow’s fried chicken tasted better than those of 7-11, McDonald’s and Jollibee. The boys said Holy Cow’s chicken is better though Jeck said he still prefer Jollibee’s. I miss them WVH boys (I sound so ‘hood! Haha!). Their discussion over why cowboys are called cowboys when they ride horses in the first place was hysterical.

Wow, a decent photo!

I’ll be seeing them this Friday again for the WVH Christmas Party. I’ll be attending the after-party. Hooray!

P.S.
I apologize for forgetting to take photos of our food. I was so focused on eating!
