6th Anniversary @ ALTOMOND BEKKAN

8/11 was 6th anniversary since my boyfriend and I started dating, so my boyfriend booked a nice restaurant called ALTOMOND BEKKAN.

The restaurant was broadcast on "Gurunai Gochini Narimasu" on 7/2. It's a program that TV personalities guess the prices of dishes they ordered at a selected high-class restaurant without looking at the price list. We had a course menu which consists of dishes that TV personalities actually ordered. Until I go there, I didn't know anything about the restaurant, so I was really excited when I heard it from my boyfriend :D

All the dishes were fabulicious! Grilled Japanese Beef and Foie-Gras "ROSSINI" was like a bouquet with pretty edible flower salad on top! Also their desserets were fancy. Tiramisu was served in a modern style. You pour espresso over Mascarpone ice cream on top of nuts and crunchy chocolate studded on a dish and eat. I loved their presentation! Upper 4 dishes are my boyfriend's choice and the lower 4 is mine. Of course we shared them all ;)

We had a wonderful time :D

Surprisingly, the restaurant was located right next to the Aoyama Unimat Museum where we went last year! My boyfriend didn't know that because he found it on the Net! Cool we came back ;)

Raspberry and Acai Berry Granita

Have you ever tried acai berry?

This is a seasonal acai drink I sometimes order at UCC coffee shop.
It's a refreshing granita that uses acai and raspberry.
I try acai berry drink whenever I find it because acai has good nutrition!

Acai contains 18 times more polyphenol than blueberry and said to help increase beauty! Also, it is rich in iron, fiber, and calcium.

Do you know that acai is a palm tree?! I just knew it!!!

Anyway, we experienced earthquakes (magnitude of 4) in Tokyo almost daily. This morning, it happened at 5AM. One before happened at 8PM on Sunday. The earthquake's epicenter (magnitude of 6) was Shizuoka, not that far from Tokyo. I hope great one won't happen X(

Besides this, typhoon No.9 supposed to pass this noon... but it hasn't arrived yet. I hope it moves away quickly before our anniversary dinner.

Fingers crossed!

My Recent Favorite Drink

On Friday night, I ate out with my co-workers of the same age. We've been to an Italian restaurant called CHIANTI. Recommended original dressing was rich and great! But overall, they use too much garlic. Anyway, what I loved the most was their cocktail. I forgot the name, but it was a fresh lemon cocktail using Mediterranean lemon. It wasn't sweet and really refreshing!!! Also it contains mineral, which was eye-catching! Actually, we had a good time but one guy started to doze off, so we called it a night...

On Saturday night, my boyfriend and I went to a dynamic kitchen & BAR restaurant called Hibiki. We had a 3,000yen ($30) coupon, so we went there ;D My boyfriend took my picture with his iPhone but it came out too white X( Anyway, what I like about this restaurant is that we can view chefs cooking foods from the bar counter. Here again, I found a fresh lemon chu-hai (shochu cocktail) on a limited-time menu. It was not sweet (no sugar added) and really refreshing, too!

Mostly, I get a Japanese tea chu-hai when I dine out, but I think I'm gonna go for the lemon cocktails for a while ;D

It is raining really hard since yesterday afternoon. I hope it stops by tomorrow since we have another anniversary tomorrow. My boyfriend booked a restaurant :D To tell the truth, this is without much surprise, he should! Yesterday, I found purikura which he took last year on 7/20 with a girl who I don't know. Fuckin' girl!!! I'm glad she was ugly. I scratched her face and shredded. He-he-he >:D At least my boyfriend is nice to me, I can forgive him but not her! You know what I mean!!!

Sorry, my post is gloomy like a weather here today... Just laugh! I'm fine. Depending on my mood, though. Ha-ha!

See you again ;)
