I remember it was the start of 2014
when we said that we would start a blog on our rocking adventures and new
discoveries. During that time, our
target was to write at least once every 2 weeks, a total of 24 blogs. Today, the last day of 2014, Wandertwins has a
total of 7 blogs—1 blog for every 1.7 months.
Haha! This actually doesn’t mean
that we stopped exploring new places or activities and food to try, but what I
realized is that you really, really need to find time to blog, and I guess my work
and personal schedules are not really cooperating. Haha!
Even so, I will still write when I can and will still share with you our
awesome finds in the Philippines and in the world.
It was one October evening (that’s how
piled up my stories are) when we craved for Japanese food. I heard good reviews about Sensei Sushi so we thought of giving it
a try. Together with Jeremy and my mom,
we drove the street of Aguirre and looked for this restaurant to have a nice Jap
dinner. This was actually my 2nd
attempt to eat here. We couldn’t find
the restaurant the first time (I was with my friends Mich & Hen) as it was
quite small and hard to find amidst the row of establishments in the area. This time, eureka! We found it!

Sensei
Sushi is owned by Chef Bruce Ricketts.
It’s a small and quaint 20-seater restaurant, which serves Japanese
fusion. They have a set menu, but what’s
nice is that they also have additional dishes to serve posted in their menu blackboard,
which they change every 2 to 3 days depending on what is freshly available in
the local market and what food they can create with these.

The night we went there, the tables
were all reserved despite us coming in early at 6:30 pm so the only available
seats were at the bar. Apparently, these
are the best seats at Sensei as you
get to see how the great food is created and plated by their very own chef!
Now, time for dinner!

We loved everything that we ordered! Our tummies were filled with lots of good
food that we didn’t have any room for dessert anymore. On our next Sensei trip, I’ll make sure that
I’ll save room for their Grilled Banana—a
frozen tofu cheesecake with miso butterscotch, chocolate ganache and
togarashi. Sounds yummy, and the chef said
it was a contender for good-tasting desserts in BF Homes. Haha!
I really loved the
food here! Even the service was great! They had nice staff who would actually
explain your dish (even the chef!). Given
that we were seated in the bar area, we got to see dishes/orders of their other
customers, which gave us ideas on what to order the next time we’re here. (Just you wait ‘til I get you in my tummy,
Torched Salmon Belly! Haha!). I will definitely, definitely go back!
Thank you, Sensei Sushi, for the wonderful dinner!
