Cooked A Half Inch Steak for Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!

Every since we got stuck in stupid traffic a few years ago, we promised not to go out every February 14 but that does not mean that our dinner will be boring like tonight ; )

Valentine's Day Celebration at Luxent Hotel Garden Cafe

February 8, 2013

Luxent Hotel
Garden Cafe
51 Timog Ave.,
South Triangle, Quezon City 1103
9228888

6:00 pm to 10:00 pm

My friends and I were able to buy Luxent Hotel's Eat-All-You-Can Buffet and Drinks for only PhP 599 instead of PhP 999 from MetroDeal. The voucher is not valid on February 14 to 16 (Valentine's Weekend) so use it last Friday instead. Based on my previous experience, traffic would be terrible if we celebrate it on the day itself anyway.

 here piggy, piggy!

There's only four stations - Lechon, Japanese, BBQ Grill and Dessert. Well, five, if you count the ice cream fridge located at the farthest side of the room near the entrance.

Chinese New Year dinner with family at Kimono Ken!

My visit: February 14, 2010

Kimono Ken

256 Tomas Morato

cor. Fuentebella St.,

Quezon City

It was busy day/ night for restaurants that night! Thanks to the commercialization and hype brought by Valentine's Day!

We went out for dinner at Kimono Ken with my side of the family for a Chinese New Year celebration which incidentally falls on the same day as Valentine's day!

Kimono Ken is a safe choice for a Japanese restaurant. They serve cheap and good Japanese cuisine. Two qualities that would attract budget conscious people.

Our orders:

miso soup PhP45

I was kidding DH as we entered an empty restaurant, except for the staffs and chef of course, around 11:30am on a Valentines day. I said to him "So, you reserved the whole place for our Valentines date, huh?" lol And we both laugh. That's the reason why I was able to get a picture of the restaurant's interior without any obstruction. But it did have a couple of diners- families and lovers, as we wrapped up our lunch date around 2pm.

Jewelry: Lavender Chalcedony

My grandma who has recently passed away gave me this lovely piece of stone- lavender chalcedony encased in 18k white gold. It has been with me since I got married. I only get the chance to use it this year. As you have read in my previous post, I recently cleaned out my closet. It was at this point that I remembered and searched for the fine gem.

I searched online and found this. So, I guess this is a Lavander Chalcedony. Help me if you know!
