Took my month-old Nokia 6300 for a spin by recording an amateur video last night at Zensho Teppanyaki Restaurant and Sushi Bar, Tomas Morato, Quezon City.

Eat-all-you-can for PhP 485++ per person. Watch Chef Rogelio show off like flipping egg shells into his cap.

For the same price range, it’s definitely a way much better deal than at the Triple V group’s Saisaki, Kamayan, and Dad’s Restaurants where the quality of food, service, and hygiene (at any of their branches) has taken a major dip.

According to the Department of Health – Bureau of Food and Drugs, several imported Chinese food products they recently tested were found positive for formaldehyde (a.k.a. formalin, a disinfectant and preservative commonly used in embalming, can cause cancer, specifically lung cancer). Among the products found to be laced with formalin are White Rabbit Creamy Candies, which have been a staple treat to many a Filipino for generations.

It’s my Dad’s birthday tomorrow, but the party was last night at the fabulous Club Mwah along Boni Avenue in Mandaluyong, amidst the razzle of their Bedazzled 7 production – the latest installment of the series dubbed Follies De Mwah.

The Vegas showgirl (err, showgay?) styled musical production featured campy-sexy numbers from Cats, Madame Butterfly, West Side Story, Victor Victoria (to name a few), a twisted Little Mermaid meets Titanic spoof – and even a special guest appearance by Tina Turner, who teased my Dad with a bit of a lapdance! Haha! Stupid me wasn’t able to catch it on camera. Very entertaining work by Pocholo Malillin and Cris Nicolas. Bravo!
