Somehow, I relate this dish to a wonderful and kind gentleman, looking crisp in his tux, at a midnight ball in his elegant chateau, everything sparkly and cozy lit up.😜 Likely because all this happened on Christmas in the Philippines, and hands-down  n othing is more festive and wonderful than Christmas in the Philippines with family .🎄 ⭐ 🎄 ⭐ 🎄 And so, settled back in our humble abode in the little red dot  after the Yuletide holiday,  the baked sushi experience was not over yet.
