Mogwai Night

Have you ever been to Cubao Expo or Cubao-X? I'm guessing you at least have heard of it. Moreso, if you are the artist type or you've got artists for friends. It's formerly called Marikina Shoe Expo (up to this day there are nine shoeshops within the area). In this local Soho, you'll also find clothes and accessories boutiques, thrift shops, a  beauty parlor, a comic bookstore, and restaurants. Bellini's - that Italian restaurant where a scene in the movie One More Chance was shot can be found here. And yes, there's Mogwai.

there's the entrance (of course there's an exit too)

Despite the open bar at LAX, my bestfriend and I decided to spend our night at Mogwai. Geeze, if only the invitation to the open bar was sent to me a day before (kidding). Even if it was sent earlier,  we still would have chosen Mogwai over it. We just wanted to hang out and chillax (chill and relax) that night.

Mogwai

I was told that Mogwai is a character in the movie Gremlins. I didn't know that, I have yet to see that 80's movie. There's also a UK band named Mogwai. So this Mogwai place that Maica and I went to is a restaurant, a bar and a screening room all in one. Restaurant - they have pastas, rice meals, appetizers, snacks, soups and desserts. Bar - beer and cocktails. Screening room on the second floor - Dolby surround, art films and the likes.

 The mismatched chairs, the "artwall" with body parts sculptures, the people who go there - all contribute to the place's unique sense of style.

Mogwai + Waiter = MOGWAITER =)

They are very nice and very attentive, you wouldn't expect that kind of service from a casual restaurant. And kuya even posed so that I can take a photo of his shirt.

Nomnoming and drinking

We shall return.
