A Superman-movie, Figaro and Teriyaki Boy Date

Last Saturday, my Hubby and I went out on a much-anticipated Superman-movie date, and it was awesome. Not only the movie, but the whole experience, from the movie house, the movie itself and our lunch.

So my Hubby and I caught the flick at a Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall cinema, a movie house that I never thought would be cozy, comfortable and spacious just by looking at the exterior of the mall. I'd describe the cinema as such because:

• Cozy - the floors are fully carpeted starting from the entrance and it has soft lighting, even the restrooms.
• Comfortable - the seats are soft.
• Spacious - the leg room in between rows are wider and you can curl up on the chairs, not like the ones by SM which are cramped.

Anyway, they're still old school though. The tickets are in rolls and, (for the first time in more than a decade) this is the first mall that still has Premium and Deluxe sets of seating with different entrances! So the premium is the one below, nearer the screen which tickets sell at P130.00, and the deluxe is the one above and tickets at P180.00 each.

But before we watched the movie, we had lunch first at Teriyaki Boy at the Brick Road, the clump of restaurants and hang out spots across Sta. Lucia Mall. We had to go all the way down to the ground level and cross the streets to get to Teriyaki Boy which is at the 2nd floor of a 2-storey building with Don Henrico's below it.

And did I mention we used from Metrodeal for this date? It only cost P624.00 which includes 2 deluxe Superman movie tickets plus 1 complimentary ticket for any movie and 2 set meals from Teriyaki Boy with bottomless iced tea. Cool right?!

Our set meal is Donburi or rice toppings with choices between Sukiyaki Beef Teppanyaki (P165.00), Katsudon (P175.00) and 3-piece Gyoza. We choice the first two and they're both very, very tasty and served hot. But between the two, I like the Katsudon better.

But, our meals are never complete when eating at Teriyaki Boy without my favorite Kakiage or vegetable tempura. It has strips of squid, carrots, potato? Not really sure which veggies are included but still, they are the yummiest.

So, with our bellies (and our bladders) very full, thanks to the bottomless iced tea, we head back to the cinema to catch our movie... but not before I grabbed a large cup of Hot Latte at Figaro which is right across cinema 6.

I also bought myself an Oreo Cheesecake Cookie which sound and looked really yummy and I thought would be a good match for my coffee. Well, it turned out that I was too full to eat this even after the movie ended. I took it home instead and ate it with a cup of tea.

Anyway, did you know, the Figaro at Sta. Lucia Mall is, I think, the coziest I've seen? It has soft lighting and an open area. The front of the store is carpeted, maybe because it's still part of the cinema, but the side room has stone floors.

And, they have a smoker's area too even though it's inside the mall. They have a separate room for the smokers which is brighter than the rest of the area.

So, after all that's been said and done, it was a great date. My Hubby loved it so I am very glad about it.

Until the next date!!!

fresh-faced lang!
