Dining Review

Yumi Century City Mall

I have been wanting to visit Century City Mall since my Instagram feed has been buzzing with new and exciting places to visit. From Toby’s Estate, to the cute little shop Chibi Momo, and the beautiful interiors in Blue Carreon’s place I knew I would enjoy the time spent in Century City Mall exploring.

There are so many nooks and crannies to discover in Century City Mall.

When my friend Jane invited us to the new restaurant of Donny Impyre, Yumi, I knew it would be one that both Nino and I would enjoy because we love Japanese food that much. I had visited Kessaku in Alabang a few times before and if it was anything like that, I knew we were all in for a treat.

One has to accessorize for a date night with the hubby. I LOVE my Serafina clutch.

Yumi parnter, Donny, really loves Japanese food. Just like my hubby, he finds that it is his comfort food. He looks for the flavors and the textures that Japanese cuisine is known for and when asked, can shared he can even eat Japanese food every day. It’s always nice to sit and talk with the owners of these successful restaurants because it’s easy to see the passion behind serving up honest to goodness good food.

Yumi is not as big as Kessaku in Alabang but don’t let the size of this joint be the measure of anything more than keeping it small and intimate. The only thing I would say I was unhappy with was the LIGHTING! This is completely from a blogger’s point of view because of course I want to try and share the best photos I have of the food. But if you wanted a cozy, intimate place to dine the lighting fits the bill. It’s the perfect date place if you wanted to enjoy some time alone with the hubby.

One of the many bracelets my mom has made for me to help me with my BLING factor when I'm on for a night on the town. Thanks Mom!

There is an art to serving Japanese food. In fact, I feel like many sushi chefs can be considered artists. Have you ever watched the way a sushi chef prepares and serves his dishes? Nino and I were watching the sushi chefs down below while we were waiting for our food and one thing we noticed is the attention and detail paid to every piece of fish and the thought that went into placing the food “just so.”

Nino and I enjoyed watching the Sushi Chefs prepare our food...we both believe that Japanese food can be considered one of the more artistic cuisines.

At any rate, I made sure to edit my photos as best I could because while mood lighting is great for me and Nino when we are on a date, it was not so good for the pics here on the blog.

Thank you Donny for graciously hosting our little group of ladies who like to have fun, make chicka, and enjoy good food!

Would I visit again?

Most definitely, YES. Nino and I enjoyed our dinner with the gang, and we were already looking forward to visiting Yumi’s sister resto Kessaku after this yummy dinner.

If you would like to visit Yumi in Century City Mall check out their Facebook page or their Instagram account.

Open Monday-Sunday 11:00am-11:00pm

      I heart ABC. This was such a fun night, Patty…I think we should plan to do this every once and awhile. It’s nice to get out for the evening…especially when good food is involved,no?

It’s December 1st! Is there anything more delic It’s December 1st!

Is there anything more delicious than the smell of Christmas and the new found freedom as we anticipate celebrating the holidays with our families again?

@festivalmall has hosted a series of musical shows since November 5th that include Ace Banzuelo and Silent Sanctuary. Check out Michael Pangilinan on December 10th, too!

With Santa visiting, Christmas parties, arts and crafts and lots of promos, you can even enter for a chance to win a Toyota Fortuner!

Best of all-I love it when the places we know give purpose to their celebrations. Thank you #FestivalMall for partnering with @dsapi1  this holiday season. 

Thank you for sharing all the different ways we can celebrate the holidays with you!

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
