Nems à la banane et au chocolat

Nope, I did not switch my blog into a food blog. Don’t worry you will not find new recipes here otherwise you will have catastrophe in your kitchen. It’s just the Title of the post that differs.

Okey, I will start from the things that my Honey and I are compatible with! Apart from sports and watching films,we love EATING out! I don’t know when was the last time I went out with my husband as we used to. Like other normal couple we sometimes need to unwind without the kids right? After my 2 pregnancies I don’t have a clear souvenir of a restaurant where we went to. Though, we still go out to watch a film once in a while depending if there are interesting films out in the big screen. I know you will ask me, what about the kids? Of course, before going out we have already planned everything. Luckily, we have a very good baby sitter who later on became the Godfather (Ninong) of my daughter. I thank him because he’s really taking very good care of my kids and treat them like his own siblings. Oftentimes kids are asking us if when are we going out so as their Kuya Joy will come over to take care of them. Now, they want us out cool kids aren’t they!

What do we usually do right now is to invite friends over for dinner. I guess that is the major motivation why I was able to transform myself. To be keen in cooking, to satisfy and please our invited guests and to save my husband from absolute humiliation! Gone from a long break of not going out to restos we finally decided to take the night out just like we used to do. We went to a Japanese Restaurant. The restaurant is very reasonably priced and the food is just superb. In fact, it’s my second time, the first time I went there was with Makis while hubby is a first timer. We ordered the complete menu from the first plate to succulent dessert. Sorry, it’s difficult to remember the menus we have ordered but as far as I can remember we have ordered soup as a first plate to go light. For the main menu, Honey opted for a Tuna with Spinach on the side whilst I ordered for tempura and didn’t think to order something to go along with them (shhh I am on a diet). Now, ordering dessert was a bit funny because when hubby asked for the menu he asked the waitress what is Nems à la banane et au chocolat (Banana spring rolls with chocolate). He told the waitress the name sounds bizarre! I was half grinning because I already do have a pretty clear idea of how it would look like. Out of curiosity he insisted for that. My turn to to order dessert, the waitress told me Bon choix (good choice) and she left. I told husband you have already tasted that. I told him, sus Turon lang yan sa Pinas (oh that’s only a wrapped fried banana with chocolate inside)! Me, rolling my eyes trying to convince him that I already made the same when we invited friends over for dinner. The only difference was that I've added some hazel nut on it! Though, Honey was not convinced I was right about the Nems à la banane et au chocolat, Turon nga sosyal lang pakinggan (it's just chic to hear)! Finally he admitted it was Turon. I told him you should have believed me. That only means that I begin to learn how Asian food resembles they just differ on names. Now I am cooking!
