House of Wagyu Stonegrill, Eastwood Mall

I was never really fond of steaks. The sight of bloody meat served on the plate actually makes me puke.

But not until I have tasted the steak at the House of Wagyu Stonegrill.

This time, the steak was served on top of a very hot stone, thus the term "stonegrill". I could not remember for how many times me and my friends have dined here, but as far as our tummies are concerned, we always leave the restaurant full and very, very satisfied.

Only the special steaks are served on a stone, the others are served already cooked. The stonegrill steaks are the priciest ones and the price depends on the quality of the meat. We ordered the "not so expensive".

House of Wagyu Stonegrill is a fine dining restaurant. The waiters first gave us the menu for wines which we were really not interested at so they gave us the main dishes menu after a minute. The order of the steaks already comes with a basket of hot bread, soup and the steak itself.

We also ordered gambas for appetizers, one regular alfredo and one seafood alfredo. They were all good.

Then came the two steaks. As it was served in front of me, I immediately took the knife and began slicing. It was barbaric eating. LOL. When I first ate at the House of Wagyu last year, I made sure that the meat gets well done over the stone. This time, I noticed that I enjoy the meat more when it is just medium rare since it is juicier, softer and tastier. I could not describe eating it more, it makes me hungry just thinking about it.

In conclusion, the table was clean after an hour.

Wagyu means Japanese cow/beef

Top sirloin good for three at P2,500++

New York strip good for three at P3,000++

Medium-rare

SM Mega Bags and Shoes Sale

I really don't have a plan to go out of the house this weekend and spend money. I actually have a tight budget this cut-off. However, I got bored at home and I got tired of doing Facebook. I decided to ask my sister to come with me to the mall and just look around to kill time.

I was aware of the SM Megamall's Mega Bags and Shoes sale and I thought of dropping by hoping to find shoes that would fit my budget and my size. Afterall, one of my shoes that I use to work got ruined because of the rains the past month.

Not so many people were up for the sale. My sister and I went around each of the brands and finally found the right pairs, yes pairs, that fit me and that I think are comfortable to wear to work. I am not a fashionista nor a shoes addict, I actually have a few pairs of shoes and I only buy when needed and I always have a hard time finding my size. My feet are quite small.

I don't wear shoes with heels, I am only into flats. I never got used to heeled shoes. Also, I need to choose shoes which are fit for long walks since our office is quite far from where public vehicles are allowed. I just wanted to buy a pair, but hey, the shoes are less than P1,000.00 each. I bought two pairs for P1,890.00 from Outland.

Not bad, huh? Sale is still ongoing and would last until tomorrow, August 7.
