Van Gogh is Bipolar

"Van Gogh is Bipolar" is a restaurant with a therapeutic theme, located at 154 Maginhawa St., Sikatuna, Quezon City.

Since the venue is inconspicuous, it is located intact, between the Hachiran Restaurant and Tapapa, in the middle is the entrance manned by the security guard.

You can see the duplex house within the terrace, on the left is the Wadough Cake Studio.

To get access to VGIB, get to the door in a seemingly mirror closet, a doorknob made of fake diamond. Remove your shoes first and put it in the rack.

For those who love peace, weirdly creative ambience, VGIB is provided inside.

Inside, it is like a living room full of decorative papier mache, with old gramophone, soft couch, and antique closet.

You will be entertained by a "life-saver", like waiter/waitress, the choice of the meal, from Classic, Signature Feast, Valentine Feast, etc. which is a set meal.

Payment can be made online as advance booking, or thru the site, GCash or Cash.

The foods are great, somewhat pricey on the full course meal.

The recommended meal is the Signature Feast for Solo, while the Valentine's Feast is for two persons.

In a Signature Meal where I choose Vegetarian options:
1. Appetisers consisting of sweet fried plantain or banana with cheese and nuts

2. Choice of tea according to your mood (Choose the mood type such as happy, anxious, etc.) and size of teapot (you may request a refill of hot water)

3. A seafood consisting of shrimp and mushrooms with miso broth soup (you may request for a refill of soup)

4. A healthy main course meal consisting of black rice, enoki and shiitake mushroom, fried Tofu, nuts, with fruits of watermelon, mango, strawberry, with blue butterfly peaflower and a huge cabbage leaf.

The owner may opt to lend you an imported authentic French, Russian, and Mongolian hat, the famous is the Ushanka Russian hat which has the ear flaps used by an army, and comfortable to wear as to its size and touch.

Before eating, there is a ceremonial hand wash using like baking soda, mix with fermented pineapple, as alternative form of gentle cleanse of the hand instead of using harsh soaps.

There's a therapeutic session where the life saver prepares a liquid of GoldSchlager liquor (a Swiss liquor with gold cinnamon piece floating inside) is mixed with raw egg, a cayenne pepper, and a spice, which is to be drink in one shot.

Toilet is clean. You can see some arts (ignore some nudes), an aromatic air purifier, and a rack containing singing bowls.
