So here are the places I went to just within Bacolod this week and I would like to share them with you.
1. SHABU NIKU
It is a new Korean restaurant that opened here in Bacolod on the second floor of Shakeys Lacson and Bank of Commerce. They divided the restaurant into two: the SHABU SHABU area and the YAKI NIKU area which is intended for grilled food. We opted for the Yaki Niku.
The place has an interesting interior. It is ideal for group of friends or family.

Toni and I were the first ones to arrive. Panie as always,
being "fashionably" late.
They gave us this cucumber kimchi for appetizer. Bet ko to!
Daeji Galbi Ungrilled
Beef Galbi Ungrilled
Yes nalang. I will eat rice.
Grill galore. What's nice about Korean restos is that you get
to have a conversation with your peers while you cook your
own food.
Finally! Jennifer and Panie arrived.
The K-POP Girls
Overall, the service was efficient. They have good staff and one of the owners really makes an effort to talk to their customers. That's what I've always noticed about Korean restaurants. The owners are really welcoming. Filipinos should learn a thing or two from them.
2. Negros Museum Cafe
Now this discovery is really a diamond in the rough. This cafe has been here a while but I haven't really gotten around to visit it until this Friday. Good decision! We had a great dining experience. Totally Class A. If you dig something organic, you are on a diet, you like artisan food, and you want an elegant, upscale dining, we recommend this place.
I'm in love with their food counter/open kitchen

First-timers at the Museum Cafe
Meal of the day choices.
We ordered their Buttered Chicken that comes with a
salad. This is so yummy! This is what we call "bisaya" na
manok.
Lovelyn enjoyng her "candlelit" dinner.
OK. Pause for a moment. Just want to tell you the slight difference of "candlelight" dinner from "candlelit dinner." Both have a correct usage in English but if you really want to be specific about it, a "candlelight" dinner would refer to a dinner with the best china, silver and crystal, sometimes with a rose on the table for a completely romantic setting. A "candlelit" dinner on the other hand, would be any regular dinner setting eaten by a candlelight for a more intimate atmosphere without any of the things I mentioned in the former. At least that's what I've learned from my research. So there you have it. We had a nice candlelit dinner.
They served us what I think were Rye or Sesame bread,
French baguette and Corn bread.
Pa-demure effect Achieve!!!
I love my greens. :)
And then we come to dessert. Now this one I recommend to you to the highest level. Trust me. I have good taste in men, clothes and food. Naks! But seriously, you must try this on your visit to the Museum Cafe.
TAMBIS PIE!!! O.M.G. So "nanam" and namit! The
taste is just perfect. It's not too sweet. All the ingredients
just balance each other. It's a must-try.
We're definitely coming back to this place and try the other stuff on their menu.
Painting on the wall. Aton Ini!!!
3. Unyot's Place
This place at East Block Veranda was introduced by Lovelyn to me. It's owned by her long-time friend Anne. It's a good place to just chill and be with friends. Tambay tambay mode.
I love their cheese sticks. I didn't get to take pictures of the food however because I was busy laughing out loud with stories reminiscing our past "adventures" or "misadventures". lol Gosh Love, we were really mean girls back then weren't we? Sometimes I wonder who owns the Mean Girl crown, you or me? haha "And they all fall down...."
Love ordered isaw (chicken intestine). I can never bring myself to eat that. My first time was when April persuaded me to try the breaded isaw from the street near BDO Araneta Branch. She said I would like it. Oh holy mother of God! I wanted to vomit! haha Well some people aren't built to eat intestines.
An abomination
I do however, have a picture of this...
May gatas pa sa labi! lol
Anyway, try to visit Unyot's place. It's a quaint and a nice place to hang out. If you feel like singing you may also do so for everyone to hear since it's also a karaoke bar. Cool!
4. Ching Dance and Fitness Studio
After a period of hiatus from dancing because our Aero Dance scheduled 7-8 p.m. before was dissolved, and because of my eye surgery, I am back! This time Hip Hop class. So yesterday was our first meeting and we were already taught the first song to memorize. It's from the Koreanovela Dream High.
Until my next lakwatsa...
