Toribox

Before the new year, my Panget and I wanted to try out Greeka Kouzina but since the place was full and we didn't want to wait - we drove around San Juan to see what's new.  I then remembered seeing Toribox and La Creperie somewhere near Serenitea (yes, Serenitea is a landmark for us now!)

We then drove by and since we found parking immediately - we decided to try Toribox.  I think I've read mixed reviews on this place - a friend said that there was nothing good, while another friend said it was a good place to get cheap tonkatsu.


And so we tried it, and we liked it!  Maybe it was because there were only a few customers.  Haha!!  The food was not bad - for the price you are paying, I think it is all worth it.  We were filled full and Kailee enjoyed eating the rice.  Even if we were seated on the second floor - and we were the only ones there, there was a server that waited on us!  I call this good customer service because I'm sure for other restaurants, they won't bother sending up anyone.




I'd be sure to go back again for a cheap katsu!

The place was quite small, it actually reminded me of Rub and H Cuisine along Scout Rallos - the built was exactly the same!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
