Weekend Food Trip at: Ichiba Japanese Market, Newport Mall

I think the last time I visited Resort's World was pre-Kyle days!  Oh my, that was more than 5 years ago!

So I was there for an event at Jo  Malone London for Mother's Day, it was a weekend so I've decided to take my family with me to spend dinner.  Pre-Mother's Day celebration.

Found a new restaurant called Ichiba Japanese Market and the interior itself grabbed my attention.  I felt like I'm transported to Japan!

Though almost full with hungry customers, I'm glad the place is huge enough to cater groups yet you don't feel the "crowd".  You have your own space and area so it was a perfect place even with kids around!

First order of business, I'm craving for "rolls" so I asked for the Crunchiest of them all!  The server recommended Ichiba Roll (Php285.00) which is a roll with tempura, tamago, mango, crabstick salad and crunchy salmon skin!  I definitely got the crunch I was craving for!

Next was Mr. AMW's craving.  He was craving for Yakitori and we got a set that is perfect enough for those who do not like to make choices!

There's Quail Egg, Pork Belly, Chicken and Beef Cubes!  ALL YUMMY!  The teriyaki sauce made the cut! 

Salon Report: FAB Salon Part 2 at Valero

Browsing through my "cute" organizer, I just realized that my last haircut was around August, for someone who's so into fixing the "layers" or "re-constructing" the hair, 4 months of no-haircut is like 3 days of no water!  (Okay, don't mind me, that's exaggeration!)

My life was a bit of a whirlwind running here and there but this girl ain't complaining!  I love being busy and you wouldn't believe it when I say, the more busy I am, the more energy I get!  --- That's probably an Energizer Bunny's Mantra too!

When I got an invite for a "salon pampering" session at FAB Salon,  I couldn't resist it and it was a perfect timing as it was on a holiday!  I said yes right away and this greeted me once I got in.....

Oh, of course, I saw this too! *discreetly* Shhhhh....

Salon Report: FAB Salon Newport Mall

I've been around the Newport Mall a couple of times and I can't believe I missed a posh salon hidden on the 4th level next to McDonalds!  When I got an invite to try out their services with a couple of gorgeous bloggers, it was a "beauty field trip" that I wouldn't miss, it's high time for me to take a peek at this newly opened salon!

Fab Salon is a full-service salon with a lot of services for both men and women!  I checked their service menu right away and I like the fact that they specify the "meaning" of hair lengths.  At least, you won't be surprise with your bill!  All the rates are clearly published right at the reception area.

Short (up to chin line)

Medium (up to shoulder line)

Long (up to underarm line)

Extra Long (beyond underarm line)

Fab Salon was conceptualized to cater to a market that does not want to compromise quality in exchange for affordability, comfort for functionality, and expertise for accessibility.
