As in a huge bowl of three sashimis (salmon, tuna, amberjack) in a bed of crushed ice and a vast platter of 6 sashimis (shake, maguro, tamago, mackerel, squid, sea urchin) garnished with finely shredded vegetables.
Add to that a collosal serving of Tonkatsu Ramen and two jars of sake.
It was two big dinners but in QC (Sushi Shokunin along Sgt. Esguerra Avenue and Nomiya Izakaya at Scout Tobias Street) not in Japan nor in Gapan!
That is to celebrate the impending triumph of the Bangkok assessment over the aftershocks of the Myamar earthquake as announced in a welcome pack and the guidance note for annual development plans that were punctuated by two coordination meetings with Melbourne, a quick briefing for the Phnom Penh sessions, a huddle scheduled for Jakarta, and the resolution of Islamabad's visa woes in parallel to the launch of a second review for the Kuala Lumpur convening and a visa application for Brussels II.
As expected, the B Hotel's buffet table easily carried three learning review days as predicated in a weekly meeting.
Bangkok was booked, the last ties with Oxford was severed and surrendered in Manila, 95B Scout Castor Street was finally secured.
But an excruciating 6-hour return trip (courtesy of Baliwag Transit) cancelled the euphoria of Wednesday's 3-hour deluxe ride to Cubao (through Victory Liner) from Bakal 2 where dusts from a university community fiesta clung on a cold canned lion and a pair of daing na bangus.
Then weekend.
My tuna sashimi went well with a cask of Singleton 12 years old single malt Scotch and three tanks of Tanqueray London dry gin during Akbayan Day.
Their grilled tuna fillet complemented my kinilaw na tuna that were surprisingly elevated by several drams of Johnny Walker Blonde blended whiskey from the twin tables of Mistah Night.
Sursedey chnam thmey!
