Specialty Course Hana (Flower), PhP 525
It was a Friday night when we decided to go to Bonifacio High Street. We really did not have any plans that night and we were thinking where to eat. So we walked from the 7th Street in Bonifacio High Street until we reached Serendra. Then, we found Saboten. We tried to check out their menu and even though we’re 7th on the list, we patiently waited. 🙂 (more…)
Hire Tonkatsu
When Sharlyne passed by Yabu, she suggested that we should try it for dinner. Since we really don’t usually go to SM Megamall, I guess it’s best to take a risk and to try something new. Upon arriving Yabu, the restaurant was full and we have to wait. I guess the food was that good huh? 🙂 (more…)
Chicken Pepper Rice, 155 pesos
It was our first time to eat at Sizzling Pepper Steak in Glorietta 5. The people behind Sizzling Pepper Steak is the same as the people behind Teriyaki Boy. It is also know as the cheaper version of Pepper Lunch. (more…)
Karaage Chicken Vegetable Wrap (PhP 158 pesos per order)
Aside from green tea latte, Kozui Green Tea offers meals. We stated in our previous post that we will try one soon. 🙂 We first tried Kozui Green Tea’s bestseller which is the Karaage Chicken Vegetable Wrap. (more…)
Green Tea Latte and Roasted Green Tea Latte
As me and Sha are walking along Tomas Morato, we spotted Kozui Green Tea. I’m not much of a green tea fan since I’m more of a Chai Tea Latte fan and African Sunrise Tea Latte fan. But Kozui certainly changed my views on green tea. 🙂 (more…)
Upon walking towards John and Yoko (the restaurant), I already felt this cosmopolitan ambiance. When I got inside, it seemed to be a restaurant bar (because of the lighting) but it’s not really one. I’ve learned that it’s one of Marvin Agustin’s business ventures. (more…)
Yearning for Japanese food yet you want something that could fit in your 100-peso budget? Well, this 19 pieces of assorted sushi and maki that costs 99 pesos from Maki Mi Sushi is a must try. We discovered it in the heart of SM Megamall’s food court. The largest serving consists of 150 pieces of assorted sushi and maki which costs PhP 780.00. But if you like only 4 or 5 pieces, the cost is from PhP 25.00 to PhP 30.00. 🙂 (more…)
Conveyor system for sushi in a Japanese restaurant in Croydon, England
The video above that you are seeing right now is actually similar to the one in Genji. The restaurant is located in Greenhills and is a must-try for those who haven’t eaten there yet. The plates on the conveyor belt are color coded and each color corresponds to a price. It was my first time to try one and I was pretty amazed of the ingenuity of Yoshiaki Shiraishi, the inventor of the conveyor belt sushi, otherwise known as sushi train [source]. (more…)
