CNN reporter Anderson Cooper is smart, articulate, and cute. There are also rumors he’s gay, but that shouldn’t stop you from grabbing a copy of Dispatches from the Edge, his “memoir of war, disasters, and survival.”

Let me tell you right off that this is not a book you should read if you want to relax—every chapter is a tale of one disaster after another, from Anderson’s troubled personal life (his twin brother committed suicide) to his experiences covering tragedies like the Asian tsunami of December 2005, the war in Iraq, and Hurricane Katrina which devastated most of New Orleans. As such, it would be inappropriate to say that I “enjoyed” reading the book; what I will say, though, is that it is a very good and engrossing read, because it is filled with behind-the-scenes snippets about the above newsworthy events, made even more gripping because it is combined with Anderson’s candid and heartfelt reflections.

“Haha! Look at you…you look sooo happy!!!”

Cherry the Manic Shopper would say that again and again whenever I put something in my mouth during our lunch at Tsukiji. I couldn’t help but smile while savoring the glorious food.

Tsukiji, named after the biggest fish market in the world that is located in Tokyo, is one of the most authentic Japanese restaurants in the Metropolis. According to owner Chef J. Gamboa (the same group behind Milky Way and El Cirkulo), three times weekly, they actually have someone go to Tsukiji, Tokyo in the morning to buy seafood. Sometimes, Chef J goes there himself! The fresh goodies are then brought to Manila the same day via Japan Airlines where it remains chilled, not frozen! By lunch, they can be on your plate! (Chef J.’s tip: for the adventurous ones, make sure you go to Tsukiji on a Friday for lunch or dinner! Unique seafood products are brought in Friday mornings!)

Here’s what we had!
