We just all have to stop trying to live according to the world. 

sensei sushi

Presenting! A load of photos from my delicious meal at Sensei Sushi. I've been hearing about this place a lot and seeing it on my Instagram feed, so my sisters, mom and I decided to try it out yesterday. 

Even though we went on a Wednesday during lunch (and expected there to be little customers), we decided to make a reservation just in case. When we got to the place, we realised that no reservations were needed. The place was empty. But little did we know that because we reserved, Chef Bruce made himself available to serve us. Now that made our trip to Sensei more interesting! More expensive, too.

We didn't know what to order because the food on the menu and on the restaurant board were familiar, but were slightly different takes on the usual Japanese dishes. We wanted to try all without having to order each dish and finishing with tons of leftover. So.. we left it up to the chef! He whipped up an unli-course meal filled with dishes of what he felt were the restaurant's best sellers and what he personally felt like making at the moment. He said that when we start feeling full, we just have to say stop. The problem was.. even if we did feel full, we all refused to say we've had enough and still kept asking for more.

What we were served:

Tuna Cubes. The first and favorite!

White Shrimp Ceviche

Tuna Tartare

Fresh Oyster

Seared Hamachi

Pig Head Katsu

Lambtaco

The palette cleanser (forgot what was in it)

More Hamachi

Spicy Tuna

Roasted Sea Bass with Aligue rice

Rib-eye steak with ponzu, butter and truffle oil

I don't remember exactly what this is called, but I remember it having some frozen cheesecake.

Chef Bruce's inconsistent Lava Cake

At first, Chef Bruce mentioned that he didn't really like making Japanese food. He said that his Jap style actually went against the traditional Japanese style of cooking, which got me less excited because I was really craving for traditional Japanese. But once we started eating, I didn't even care. Everything was all too delicious. Too good, that we really didn't want to stop! So much flavour bursting out of just one dish that we were all left mmm-ing and wow-ing after each one. And even though Chef Bruce's style is a bit different, I was still able to get my Jap fix.. and more! Definitely so much better than I expected.

If you decide to check this place out, I recommend you give them a call and ask to be served by Chef Bruce. It really is so much better when you get to see and hear about the food you're about to eat. Aside from that, you get to hear about the Chef's interesting life story and experiences while indulging in his mouth-watering creations.

Just a short, non-Fellow announcement update.

Life has been quite good lately. I've been pretty busy with some work and a little Fellow, and busy for me is always a good thing.

I am happily working for a production house called Seabiscuit Films, with a group of people I never fail to gain knowledge from and get inspired by. I'm an accounts executive, but on the side I get to join in on shoots to be a production assistant.

I don't have a nine to five job. I just go to work when needed, usually for meetings and shoots. Sounds pretty chill but really it could be exhausting. The early call times and late night shoots leave me drained and eventually sick. But that's prod work, and it is all very worth it!

As for my "free" time, I work a lot on Fellow. From the small little office in my room, I relocated and turned the house living room into Fellow headquarters. Haha! I needed more space and assistance, so I moved down all my materials. My mom, sister and my boyfriend (who is now a Fellow partner), work with me in fulfilling the orders. 

On a non-Dan related note, our Labrador gave birth to two beautiful puppies. The pups are about two months old and have gotten the necessary shots, so they are now ready to be sold (unfortunately). We don't have space for two more Labs (we now have three Labs and a pug), so we can't afford to keep them.

In case you are interested, send me a Facebook message or email me at danielamgamboa@gmail.com :)

Here are the pups!

That is all!

v-day

This year, the girls surprised the guys. 

Manna, Tabby and I surprised the boys with dinner and drinks at a helipad in Antipolo, which was overlooking the whole city. 

Beautiful view, cheesy 90's love songs, good food, good drinks and amazing company. This is by far one of the best V-days yet!

         

To new traditions! Thank you Manns for setting up the location and thank you Angelo for the photos.

Happy Valentine's everyone!
