I received an invitation to a sit-down media dinner at C Restaurant, to sample its Dine Out menu. I said yes without a blink. C Restaurant and I go way back. In fact, it all started with a DOV dinner back in 2004, when the menu was – hold your breath – only $25. That was before my photo-taking/food-blogging time, but I remember it was a very enjoyable dinner, especially for the value of it. Then, I went back for another DOV dinner in 2008, and the price already went up to $35, nonetheless a wonderful meal.

It was a classic brunch menu, with items such as Eggs Benedict, Scrambled Eggs, French Toast, Frittata and Hash.

A friend of mine was intrigued by a deal from Hapa Umi. $22.50 per person for a 3-course dinner. The restaurant doesn’t offer a 3-course menu on a regular basis; therefore a special 3-course dinner was put together for buyers of this deal. We had a choice of 3 items each for both appy and entree, and for dessert, we just chose from the regular dessert menu.
