The motor has been running these past weeks with barely any pit stop. I’m feeling heavily fatigued again with mounting workload and crazy schedules, missing playing Ultimate this week after work to break a sweat and paradoxically relax my mind. Nothing breaks the weariness than unearthing a hardly hidden gem in Kapitolyo. A simple evening, good food and scattered laughter are the right tools for a quick escape.
ENGR and I were supposed to veer towards Lola’s Café in Tomas Morato but ended up checking out nearby restaurants. Haru Sushi Bar and Restaurant was a twilight beam to Little Tokyo with its very fascinating interiors.
Haru Restaurant is owned by Dr. Vasquez of Cafe Juanita and Au Gusto fame, who’s also a thespian and a friend of my former boss. Tell tale signs are in the interiors that this is also his restaurant.

Dynamite Roll P320
Sushi roll with spicy tuna, salmon, Japanese cucumber with a coat of tobikko
I was eyeing the Crazy Roll, which is sushi roll with kani, ripe mango, cucumber, with haikara flakes and topped with kani tossed with Japanese mayonnaise but among three choices I had Eric pick, Spider Maki Roll included, he opted for the Dynamite Roll.
Each bite has exact portions of each ingredient making each of their freshness present. You get a taste of the best of the sea from the fresh spicy tuna and salmon while the julienned cucumber adds a crunch and clean swab. I just love the roll of tobikko inside my mouth and nibbling the miniature orange pearls with my teeth. I no longer dab my rolls in soy. I simply put wasabi on it and plop it inside my mouth.
