When Valentines Day comes, everyone would be excited on where to go and where to spend some quality and romantic time with your loved one. I know this because me myself had also been looking forward for this day when I was younger. When I grew a bit older, Valentines Day doesn't matter anymore.
But going out with a loved one is still a special thing.
Impromptu - that's how I describe James and mine's date on the Valentine’s Day. This was because we had no proper plans for this day, we agreed to go out and buy some necessary things for his dad but since we went out earlier than expected, we thought it would be nice if we could have lunch at a new place since it is the hearts day, this was the perfect time since he goes to work at one in the afternoon and logs out at 9:30pm, we thought we will not make it for dinner so lunch is the best timing.
Both of us were roaming around then I realized I have one Groupon coupon for a grilled meal at a grill house in Mandaue. That was purchased that month and intended for James' birthday but I guessed we can instead use it. So off we went to Acoustica Grill and we felt special because we were the first customers! We definitely owned the place.
What is Groupon?
Here's an info to those who aren't familiar with Groupon, it's actually an advertising site which provides discounted coupons. Most of the time they give 50% discounts, as a matter of fact, we only paid Php 150 for a coupon which was worth Php 300. This is really a great site for those who are freebie or discount suckers like me. I love to get a specific thing for free or with a specific discount and I have been using Groupon for years. If I am lucky, I am able to get a good deal for a very low amount.
I also had bought my first photobook in Groupon! It was amazing. Google it and visit their site for more information. However, as of last year, Groupon had stopped their operations in the Philippines unfortunately.
Meanwhile in Acoustica Grill
Going back, a small petite place like Acoustica isn't bad to find because it is super accessible, from A.S. Fortuna we immediately found it when we saw the Rose Pharmacy, it is just two doors away from it. The outside door shows their name and business hours. I was amazed upon opening the door, great smell welcomed us. I realized where that great smell came from when I saw an area just next to the service table, it was signed - Soaperman! Yeah! I was astonished! How can a restaurant have a washing business inside it too! How clever! I salute the owner; it looked like the washing business has more customers than the dining one.
