It was during the typhoon Frank when we decided to dine at Thousand Cranes restaurant in Greenbelt 3. It was very windy and was the perfect moment to have some hot soup to keep us warm. Continue reading →

John and Yoko, Cosmopolitan Japanese
by Karla Redor at May 25th, 2008 — Casual Dining, Japanese
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. Continue reading →
Maki Mi Sushi at SM Megamall

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.

Jumbo Japs

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.

The Conveyor Belt Sushi at Genji

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]. Continue reading →
Sumo Remix
by Sharlyne Ang at February 10th, 2008 — Fast food, Japanese
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.
