AWKWARD

Lola Ina's is one of the restaurants where you can make paluto, Conyo much. In that stretch of restaurants opposite HK Plaza in Macapagal Boulevard, Pasay; Lola Ina's is the last restaurant on the left side when you're facing the Bay.

I wasn't drunk. Really.

It's not closed, of course.
We ate at the air-conditioned part.

I almost ate all the prawns that are in the platter, you know. That's how much I love shrimps; even if it takes forever to peel the shell. I first started peeling using spoon and fork, but gave up and used my bare hands instead.

Fish Sinigang

And the seaweed that tastes like seawater. I haven't tried eating this before.

What are these?

Crabs for higher blood pressure, anyone?

It's hard for me to explain their taste. But yea, it's like eating in an eat-all-you can. HAHAHA. I was so full and happy. Good thing I don't have allergies, I can enjoy seafoods this much.

Really worth it! I mean, I've been there three times (in different restaurants) and was never satisfied with the taste. In here, they cook well and the service was also great! Very prompt waiters, they remove the shells once they start to pile-up and refill water immediately. Satisfaction is regardless of the quantity. We would still enjoying having less than all of these.

Although I didn't experience it this time, expect a lot of people people who would force you to buy from them or let them cook your food. They're the culture of Dampa Restaurants. Stressor!! You'd leave the place more stressed than you were, so bring a lot of patience if you're doing the shopping for the raw seafoods and haven't decided which place to eat yet.

Albeit not being a fan of coffee, I still drink it once in a while.
I am a social drinker even with coffee.

Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino
P 180.00 - Grande Size

Isn't it pretty? With dark pink/red sugar on top of the whipped cream.

I usually go for Green Tea Cream or Chocolate Frap in Starbucks but I settled for a Christmas Blend this time; it's the Christmas season anyway. I loved Andes Chocolate Mints so I figured I would like this one too.

But,

"How is it?" The first sentence I blurted out was, "Hmm, para lang akong umiinom ng mentos!"

But yeah, I had to reintroduce the taste to my palate since it has been years (exaggerated) since I last ate Andes so mint + chocolate (mocha, in this case)

After a few sips, I decided to mix the whipped cream and the drink itself. Somehow, the minty feeling was diluted and it turned out okay at the end. I liked it. I just don't see myself ordering another of this in the future, especially not when the other option, dark cherry mocha, tastes better for me! I had a sip from my friend's order.

P.S For those who likes mint, this might be the one for you though. :)

Probably because I'm always exposed to buffets that I'm less thrilled this time. Constant exposure to something dulls you, you know. Or maybe, I just want to try something else. I've been there a lot of times already. Or maybe, it's sinking in that I've gained back the pounds I tried to lose last year. That's why whenever I took a bite of something, it bothered me so much. HAHAHA. Joke. Idk. Whatever. I still ate a lot though less than before. Ugh, constant exposure it is. Scratch the weight reason.

But I'm thankful for this experience. Super lunch, indeed.

Here are some pictures:

Pizza!

So they also offer pizza in Yakimix? I like it since it's thin crust.

Definitely not the kind of foods I'm having on daily basis but because I've been at Yakimix for a lot of times already and these are almost the same offerings, it must have been because there wasn't anything new to look forward to, aside from the pizza I had two slices of, that I'm less excited.
