Alone Time At Tempure Japanese Grill

I remember walking back and forth along the restaurants area of Trinoma when I went one there one early afternoon in May. I was very hungry and it was past lunchtime already. I couldn’t decide where to eat until I saw Tempura Japanese Grill at the 2nd level of the mall. I felt relieved seeing there were no other customers in the restaurant. And I was right – the service was fast.

Trying Out Kani Salad At Teriyaki Boy

Since I started dieting, I tried to eat a lot of low-carb vegetables as much as possible. But whenever I eat out in Japanese restaurants, I barely eat salad because they’re not the typical green salads I used to eat. They have this Kani Salad, which I’m reluctant to try at first. It is a salad usually consists of kani (crab) sticks, lettuce, cucumber, carrots and mayonnaise. After reading in an online post that it is good, I decided to give it a go.

Back At Teriyaki Boy, Finally!

I remember eating at Teriyaki Boy once but I didn’t get to come back until this year. I think I was still a college student at that time so I found their prices a bit pricey and decided not to go back. Whenever I’d be at Trinoma for a while, I’d always look forward to lunch or dinner. I even do online search to check where I could possibly eat and what should I eat. After looking at their online menu, I realized not all of their food is expensive so I decided to give it another try.

Pre-Valentine Date With Family At Tempura Japanese Grill

So Valentine’s Day fell on a weekday and my sisters wouldn’t be home that day. Because of this, we had to celebrate in advance and spend it with Mom last weekend. We were originally planning to go to Marquee Mall but time didn’t permit us to do us. We went to SM Pampanga instead. My sister requested to have lunch in Tempura Japanese Grill, good thing no one disagreed.

Introducing Family To Red Kimono

I only got to eat at Red Kimono twice – during a pre-christmas lunch treat from our project manager and my own birthday treat to some colleagues last year. I’ve tried a few selections of their menu and all of them were quite good. Last weekend, my Mom’s request was to have lunch at Pancake House but it was only until then that we discovered that it had already closed down together with its sister restaurant, Sizzlin’ Pepper Steak. We tried to walk back along the restaurants area and agreed to just try Red Kimono.

Celebrating Dad’s 55th Birthday At SumoSam

It was my father’s birthday and like what we used to do every year, we celebrated it with the whole family even if my Dad wasn’t here during his special day. Since I’m still in search for new restaurants to try on, I brought my family to SumoSam at Marquee Mall. I’ve been hearing a lot of good feedback about the restaurant and just found out later that it’s co-owned by Marvin Agustin, a local celebrity. We’re not into Japanese foods but we would like to try some of them especially those fused with American flavors.

Affordable Japanese Meals At Tokyo Tokyo

We’ve been eating at Tokyo Tokyo for years already but it is only until today that we got to eat there again. I could still remember the first time I’ve got to try their dishes. I was in college at that time, and my brother asked me to meet him at their SM North Edsa branch. From the name itself, it’s pretty obvious that it is a Japanese fastfood chain. For those not into Japanese cuisine like me, maybe you’ll order Beef Teriyaki for your first meal. It is the most common dish in their menu and that was exactly what I did. And so that’s how it all started. Since then, my family, from time to time, visits Tokyo Tokyo for affordable Japanese meals.

Something New at Tempura Japanese Grill

It’s Christmas and my brother was here in the Philippines. It’s been a tradition for the family to go out during Christmas to get away from people coming to our house for “aguinaldo”. We’ve been doing this for years, with or without my father and/or brother. Since we’re expecting Trinoma would be crowded during the holiday, we initially planned to go to Marquee Mall. Feeling lazy to take another jeep going to Angeles, and scourge ourselves with the Sun’s heat, we ended up having lunch at SM San Fernando (Pampanga). Looking for something new, we decided to eat lunch at Tempura Japanese Grill.
