Redundant

I must have rubbed off to PDG my mission in life to try out every single food store/restaurant in the metro that when we met a day before New Year’s eve, she was the one who initiated the hunt for that next place to blog about.  We scoured the second floor of the new Eastwood Mall and settled for Kogi Bulgogi.

Kogi Bulgogi offers Korean food.  We were both unfamiliar with the cuisine, I in particular only knows Kimchi, so we decided to just have Tuk Bulgogi, and just have something else somewhere else.  It is beef, mushrooms, tofu, vegetables, and glass noodles on light sauce.

It was a sweet and salty soup which the waitress cooked right at our table, which went with a free appetizer, Banchan, composed of vegetables, anchovies and fried banana.  We both liked it @ 288.00.

We did not know exactly what to have next so we just wandered around the old Eastwood Mall area until something caught our attention.  We passed by this new yogurt store, just in front of Coffee Bean and besides Starbucks.  PDG is a sucker for yogurt, and it is a newly opened store, so we gave it a try.

Golden Spoon, if you would not look at the counter, would be easily mistaken for a Chinese restaurant.  Gold letters over red background, it could not be any more Chinese than that.  The only thing missing is that annoying gold cat that wags its paw.  Upon seeing the choices of toppings, PDG got disappointed for the lack of fresh fruits.  The only fruits they got were frozen black and blue berries.  We then checked the base yogurt.  I decided to have New York Cheesecake with almonds, walnuts and mini marshmallows for toppings...

and PDG opted for the plain one with blackberries and hazel nuts for toppings.

PDG could not hide her amusement upon seeing my masterpiece.  It looked very kiddie, she said.  She then asked what the creamy topping was and I said it was, well, melted marshmallows.  That's the time she let out a laugh and said  "You are so redundant!".  So that's where I got the title for this blog.  Hey, it was my first time to put together my own yogurt as I am not really a fan.  Then she wasn't about to stop, she asked how's my base yogurt, "it's very sweet" I said.  Then another condescending laugh, "A, if you wanted ice cream, we should have gone to Dairy Queen instead!".  I so totally agreed.

That did not fill us up so off we went again for the hunt.  PDG all the while was craving for churros so we decided to go to Dulcinea for the final stop.

We had coffee and shared a plate of churros.

As usual, it was a great time spent with PDG, although I was kinda hoping she would finally spill the beans about what really happened the last time she commissioned my escort services, LOL.  But as usual also, she was Fort-Knox-shut.
