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.

While we were in Gateway, we’ve decided to try out Jumbo Japs, a fastfood Japanese restaurant. Well actually it isn’t my first time, I just made Karla try out their menu. The only Jumbo Japs branch I go to is in Gateway Mall, Cubao since it’s the nearest to my location. One can say that this can be a competitor of Tokyo Tokyo but this is a little different from them.

It’s already summer. The scorching heat instantly reminded me of the movie Temptation Island. The scene in particular is a giant scoop of ice cream on a cone found in the middle of a deserted island which is actually a hallucination. Anyway, I think I’ve had enough of ice cream. How about having something fruity and a taste of 400 BC? Continue reading →

Korean Express is a fast food restaurant. It has a branch in Glorietta 4 Food Choices and I’m not sure if there are other existing branches. First, what is Bibimbap. Bibimbap is a popular Korean dish that is served in a bowl of warm rice topped with sauteed and seasoned vegetables, beef, sunny side up egg and chilli pepper paste (gochujang). Anyway, the picture above is not exactly what Korean Express is offering. Continue reading →
Cucina, as the name itself implies, is a Spanish word however we also have that term ( it’s spelled in Filipino as kusina) which means kitchen. Probably the branding is for us to know that their cuisine is a mixture of Spanish and Filipino. It is located at the Food Choices in Glorietta 4.
We decided to have the promo meals: 2 viands + rice. I chose eggplant seafood tortilla ( in other words, it’s tortang talong with seafood filling) and lengua with mushroom sauce. The torta was half of the whole tortang talong. I can taste the seafood though I am just not sure what type of seafood was in it. It was ok, it was nothing really extraordinary about it. On the other hand, the lengua with mushroom sauce was also ok.
Overall rating of the food: hmm 3/5 stars. I could recommend this for people who would like to eat Spanish-Filipino food who are on the tight budget. Their promo meals are priced as Php 129.00 ( 2 viands+ rice) and Php 149.00 ( 2 viands+ rice+ drink). As for the proportion of the food,it was fulfilling .
I love the way you smell as I pass by your store.
I love the way you flash the red sign as if seducing me to grab you.
I love watching you being glazed at your window pane. Continue reading →
I believe everyone’s familiar with Tokyo Tokyo, a Japanese fastfood chain. Tokyo Tokyo is famous with their Sumo Meals, their promo meal in which 2 people could share a meal for an affordable price of Php 129.00. They now added another variation of the Sumo meal which is the Sumo Remix meal. Instead of 1 viand+ vegetable stir fry+2 bottomless rice+ 2 red iced teas, they now have 2 viands for this ( of course the vegetable stir fry, bottomless rice and 2 red iced teas are still included) one and of course the red iced tea is still present. Sumo Remix is priced at Php 179.00 and 199.00. We tried the one that was priced at Php 179.00, this includes beef misono and shrimp and vegetable tempura as the viands.
If you’re with someone and on tight budget and would like to have some basic Japanese food, try ordering the Sumo Remix Meal and you’ll surely get your stomach full.
