I am super amazed sa bilis ng pag grow ng YABU empire!

I realized lang, I haven't missed pa any YABU openings--(Megamall and Rob Magnolia)--dapat may prize!
Haha! And finally, the KATSU CRAZE reached SM MOA!

Early birds! Kelly, Bff Paul, Sarah, Mother Earth:

Also saw Jill! Met her in a Mister Donut event last Christmas, akala ng blog friends ko joke hehe.

Wearing my lakas maka-yaman SM Accessories necklace!

When they opened the doors to the guests in last night's MOA VIP opening, the friendly
YABU team gathered and greeted us by the entrance! Ang cute nila o, hihi! :)

I love this tee: KEEP CALM and CURRY ON! Haha:

First to arrive: our favorite Yabu appetizers! Potatoesss!

Since ikaw kaharap ko Sarah, panay ikaw din ang pictures sa cam ko, hahaha:

BESTIEEE! #WhatIsThatSupot Hahaha!

Hi Mother Earth!

What a bummer but I don't have photos but we were also with Lana and Angela! :)


Yabu welcomed us and talked a bit about the brand's updates:

Thank you Chef! He approached our table out of the blue, at biglang sabi
"I think we have a vegetarian in this table?" 
He then told me he'll serve something different for me! THANK YOU!

Side story lang, Sarah told me maghahanap nako ng chef jowa, hahaha! Ang sarap siguro nun noh,
pagluluto ka palagi! Naku patagal ng patagal, pataas ng pataas ang standards! Hahaha. #choosy




Menchi with Cheese Katsu Curry:

Soft Shell Crab Katsu Set:

Menchi with Cheese Katsu Set:

Sarah's Kirin Beer:

And then they served my special special Vegetarian Katsu set! My friends even took pictures of my own
food (pa-star! haha!), and some of them even wanted to become a vegetarian daw just for that night
(and for this colorful set!). Thank you for always accommodating me, YABU! :) Nakakatouch!

Bilang panay gulay lang kinakain ko, I appreciate texture and assorted flavors dahil dun binabawi ang
pleasure I get sa food. I love the variety of sauce they used for the two meals, something different
from the Yabu katsu sauce I've been having since the resto opened. Best served with laiyu--Yabu's chili
garlic sauce! Saraaap!

Parang birthday ko!!! Hahaha!

Super busog! Thank you for the best dinner, as always, Yabu! :) And congrats on your new branch!

TO MORE!

Ended the night taking "parang lasing lang" photos with Sarah, with her not-so-new 50mm lens,

replaced by Bff Paul nun nabasag ni Sarah her 2-week old lens! 

We took "pagalingang pictures" of the moon (sabi nang parang lasing lang, haha)

Tried taking picture of the BEAUTIFUL church near SMX:

Experimented with bokeh, haha, nakakaaliw pala to!

Hi Sarah with bokeh bg! Hehehe!

What a bitin night! :) Can't wait to see you again soon, birthday girl! :)

Had the opportunity to go to its grand launch last night. 

Went with Dani, Bestie and Paul, via Paul's car. We passed by the Balete Drive 

to get to the venue. Kagulo lang sa takutan itong si Dani! ;p

We got there a bit late, and sobrang daming tao na! 

They set up a long table for the bloggers outside the resto.

Here are the fun people I had dinner with:

Verniece Enciso and Dani Barretto

Bestie Konisis, Lana Tiotuyco, and Mother Earth Rullan

My favorite couple na sana hawaan ako ng luck sa love life (lol) Seph and Shai of Lovechic

The pretty Enciso Sisters: Vern and Verniece

And bff Paul Chuapoco na may sariling party sa dulo, lol

They handed to us the menu, and sadly they don't have the vegetarian katsu set that night! :s

Had to order nalang Special Katsudon Set, had the egg with extra curry sauce--na ang sarapsarap! ;p

The long table! Super laugh trip lang the whole night! :)

 Bestie, Lana, Mother Earth, Seph, Shai, Paul, Vern, Verniece, Dani, ME! :); and Sarah!

Nainggit si Dani, gusto din ng hug, haha! ;)

Thank you YABU, and congrats on your new branch! 

To many many more! (And to Yabu delivery narin!)
