Restaurants in Japan are usually specialty restaurants. Meaning they only do one type of dish and they do it well. There would be a place that specializes in fried items or in Nabe(hot pot dishes), a ramen house, a udon house and the list goes on and on. Here in our country its usually not the case. Except for this little restaurant inside the Little Tokyo complex in Pasong Tamo Makati.
Okonomiyaki to those who are not familiar with it, it is a Japanese Pancake or a Japanese pizza, it’s a complete meal by itself, consisting of veggies, noodles(which you may have the option of not putting it) assorted meats and seafood, cheese. Everything comes together using a flour mixture that keeps it intact.
Cody: Since I tasted it few years back, this has been one of the things I usually order in a Japanese restaurant to know if the chef is truly knowledgable of Japanese cooking. Of all the okonomiyakis I have tried. This is so far the best. In this country. Every order is cooked fresh
Elle: Yummy! The pancake was thick and filling. It was a combination of crunchy and soft - I liked the balance. Overall it tasted really good.
Squid teppanyaki
Cody: I like this because it was cooked well, the squid was fresh, and it was also seasoned just right. A little expensive though
Elle: Squid wasn’t gummy, cooked right but nothing great or uniquely Japanese about the dish. It was average. Won’t order this again.
Spinach with peanut something
Cody: this was also good, unique, and the taste grows on you.
Elle: Not a fan of peanuts but this one was good. It was probably the sesame seeds that made it memorable.
that japanese pancake looks really yummy.
ReplyDeletei'll include it on my must-try list soon when i go to makati.
