I don't remember the last time I went on a decent Valentine's date. Seriously. So when I learned that Jeff had the whole day planned, I never asked. I wanted to be surprised. It wasn't like the poshiest dinner someone could ever have, this isn't the first time we've had Japanese but it just felt too special for me. He made an early reservation at Sugi in Greenbelt 2 because as expected, couples will be everywhere.
So this is technically my first trip outside Luzon. I know right? I'm such a loser. And this is something big because I'm traveling with Jeff. I am not really a big fan of the Azkals. Just so-so. The main reason I was there? This:
And the second reason why I'm there? The fooooood! Jeff has been going in Bacolod for the past four months because of work and been telling me how good the food is. His stories never disappointed me. :)

The scarf Jeff and I sold in Panaad Stadium. Business!

It was weird the first time I heard them call it SEx. But yeah, people from the South (Paranaque, Alabang etc.) call Sinangag Express, SEx. Haha.
Jeff picked me up around 11PM of February 8 because our flight to Bacolod is at 4:20AM the next day. We went there for the Azkals game. The Bacolod trip deserves a post of its own, so we'll talk about it later. Jeff said he's hungry and I suggested we eat at Sinangang Express. Woot!
We actually planned to go to the spa but Callospa was fully booked. I never thought that we needed to reserve or something. So anyway, I suggested we go to a Korean restaurant. We first went to Hanoel, which is infront of Mercury Drugstore and National Bookstore. Antipolo peeps, you know this place, yeah? Food was so-so. I wasn't very happy about it. And I was so frustrated they don't have that grilled Korean bacon (I later remembered that it was called Samgyupsal. I haven't eaten in a Korean restaurant in years!) So I said maybe we should go to the other Korean restaurant near Ever Supermarket.
