A Father's Day at Geisha


So we spent Father’s day at Geisha. We like eating at new restaurants, so we ate here. My mom and I was there first to reserve seats. We thought that the restaurant’s would be full.
The menu was only printed on paper. I kind of expected that it would be placed on a menu card that would be something hard. But it still looks sophisticated.
Since we were already hungry, we ordered starters and tea first.  Though they did serve salted peas.
The Seffarine tea was awesome. And it costs Php 90.00. They used real tea leaves not the usual tea bag. And they had different unique flavors. You could choose from herbal teas or fruity tees. They had a cool timer so you know how long you need to wait for your tea to brew. And the tea pot was the best thing. You just had to place it on top of the cup, and the tea would pour down by itself. It would stop pouring when you lift it up. And you can reuse the tea leaves, so you don’t feel cheated.
For our starter, we ordered the Kurobuta Gyoza that costs Php 285.00. There were five pieces which was just perfect for our family. I loved the miso infused tomato sauce that was with the dish. Different way to serve gyoza.
Another table ordered the Spider Roll and my mom got interested in it. The plating was different. You don’t usually see food or sushi plated like this. Another thing is it tasted awesome. That was actually my favorite dish. It costs Php 380.00.
My dad ordered the Salmon with Baby Spinach Chips. My sister liked the salmon. And that is saying a lot since she does not like salmon. We ordered from the signature entrees menu. It costs Php 465.00.
My mom ordered the Skewered Pork. The ginger wasabi vinaigrette was spicy so I didn’t dip the pork in it. We ordered the most affordable dish from the signature entrees list. This costs Php 370.00.
I ordered the “Un-chicken” Yakitori that costs Php 360.00. It’s called Un-Chicken since it is made from soy. It was fake chicken but it tasted like chicken.
My favorite dish from the signature entrees list was my sister’s order, the Wasabi Pepper Chicken.It costs Php 360.00. I loved how juicy the chicken was. And there were many pieces of chicken which I didn’t expect. And the skin was crispy but it was not burnt. Delicious! I didn’t taste the wasabi pepper sauce because I don’t like spicy food. Though my sister said that it was not spicy.
My brother ordered the Unagi Soba.It is pricey. Costs Php 695.00. Not a fan of that eel. But yummy nonetheless.
We ordered Angus Fried Rice for our carbs. Smelled and tasted great. And the plate used was cute. Awesoooome.
They gave out free coffee for dad’s since it was fathers day. Free things are always awesome.
Awesome place. The chair was really comfortable. And the sink in the washroom was cool. It lights up! Yummy food.
Located at the Upper Ground BGC East Superblock, Bonifacio High Street Central, Taguig City.

Lu Restaurant



I already ate here and made a review. We ate here again since my mom had deal grocer coupons. And since we had a different dining experience, I considered making a new one. We ordered the Prix fixe menu or the set menu. The set menu changes everyday. There are two choices, the Gourmet set or Healthy set. Set menu costs around Php 695+. We all ordered the Gourmet set.


For the first course, we had the English Pea Soup. I couldn't finish the bowl since I didn't want to feel full. Not really a food critic, so I'll say the soup was okay.


The next course was the Falafel Salad. I thought it was very delicious. There were two pieces of Falefel. And I loved the dressing. My sister's comment was that there were only few vegetables in the dish. And olives. And I hate olives.


You could choose from the Bavette with Bottarga Lemon Cream pasta or the Pulled Barbeque Pork Wrap. My sister and I ordered the pasta. I didn't like it much. The lemon overpowered the dish after a few bites. I grew tired of it. We couldn't find or taste the fish. And my mom ordered the pork wrap. It had a side salad and country-fried potatoes. It was a bit messy to eat. The potatoes was awesome. It was crunchy and perfectly salted.


For dessert, I got the Chocolate Torte. I'm not sure. I loved it! I guess since I love chocolate. But it was definitely delicious. My sister got the chocolate cake. It tasted a bit dry. However, the fudge did taste okay.

My brother also ordered something from their main menu. Mushroom risotto! It was a bit few based on the price. But it was awesome. I love risotto.



  If I ha lots of money, I'd consider eating here again and get something from their main menu.
