When Mom Violy wanted seafood, one name kept popping up: Breakthrough Restaurant. Would it live up to the hype?

After a road trip and exploring the area, Mom Violy requested some seafood and was given a recommendation to dine at  Breakthrough Restaurant . When we entered the restaurant, we saw it was bustling with customers, and Mom Violy asked for a table by the window to enjoy the beach view . The server informed us that we needed to place our order at the counter and choose the seafood to be weighed, similar to the process at Dampa . Tita Edna was busy snapping photos, while Carmina was filming as Mom Violy placed her order. Breakthrough isn’t air-conditioned, but they provide electric fans at your table for comfort. Mom Violy wanted sinigang and was deciding which kind of fish to have with her soup. Mom Violy requested the crab and shrimp to be cooked in butter and garlic. Mom Violy also ordered adobong pusit (squid). Tita Edna placed her own order, which was kilawin na dilis . Carmina wanted fresh lumpia , but since it wasn’t available, she opted for pinakbet instead. Everything seeme...

Have you've ever encountered someone approach you saying they've watch a tok-tok video? The person wants you to explain what Gong Cha is. Carmina was caught off guard when standing up about to leave Gong Cha in Alameda with her high school friend. Carmina just told the guy the best seller is listed on the counter of the store. Carmina also told the guy he can also try their new beverages which she has personally tried the Passion Fruit Smoothie. Otherwise, everything else is good off their menu for you to drink. Carmina's best friend has never tried or heard of Gong Cha. Carmina mentioned how they also have Gong Cha in the Philippines. Carmina's friend was kind of surprised.

Carmina's Review on Sushi House in Alameda

Carmina and her high school friend have always eaten at Sushi House our traditional lunch when I am in town. Upon entering Sushi House, they are strict where you need to wear a face mask before entering the restaurant. If there is a line they provide you to sign up on the wait list since we came when they just opened we just informed how many we're to be seated. This time around Carmina didn't want to get the bento box where she went ahead and ordered the Seafood Udon when it has been cold outside. The moment you feel like eating Seafood Udon includes a garden salad. Carmina's high school had ordered three combination bento with Teriyaki Salmon, Beef and California Maki Sushi includes miso soup, garden salad and white rice. Carmina had enjoyed her Seafood Udon the serving was too big had some leftovers to take out. You'll be the one to transfer into a takeout container with a plastic bag. Leaving Sushi House it started to get busy where a lot of people we're dining ...
