Jozu Kin

Thanks to Joanne's efforts (aka kakulitan), had dinner last Friday at Jozu Kin in The Fort. We only found out about it through our efforts to look for a Japanese restaurant and thanks to Azrael's Merryland, we found the perfect place to spend our Friday evening and fulfill our quest for new finds.

Jozu Kin is the newest cosmopolitan Japanese restaurant in town, opening just last September 2009 in Burgos Circle, Forbes Town Center, Fort, Global City. The food is awesome!!! They offer new takes on old favorites and they also have all of the favorite Jap dishes. Every bite's a surprise. Price is ok, averaging 400-500 per person.

Will try the different foie gras dishes next time. =P

Our menu for the night: (Pardon me for not being able to remember all the dishes =P)

Maguro Togarashi: spicy tuna with onions and wasabi mayo

crostinis

GYOZA!!!

Sushi Etiquette

Who knew there were so many rules to eat sushi? I only know (and follow) the one that involves not rubbing the chopsticks together to remove splinters. Glad I follow at least one of them. =)

Crepe-ing Back to College

After having lunch in Ken Afford (see previous entry), decided to revisit an old favorite, Kamirori, known for their reasonably priced Japanese food and for dessert. I remembered having a "phase" during college where I would buy their ice cream crepe every time I go home.  Hence, the weight during college I guess. Haha

A few months back, Kamirori moved from their previous location (at the ground level of our former condo) to

the other side of Katipunan, at the new Petron gas station just beside the entrance to Loyola Grand Villas. Just as well, their food AND desserts remained.

Personally, I think their California Maki is the best I've ever tasted. =) But I'm here to talk about their desserts.

Sadly, they don't have a counter anymore where the mouth-watering desserts used to be. But still, the taste and quality of their desserts did not disappoint. Ordered the Ice Cream Crepe and the Amaretto.

The Ice Cream Crepe is actually just vanilla ice cream topped with a layer of crepe and caramel cream. But it's still oh-so-good! And for just a 100 pesos!

The Amaretto is flourless chocolate cake covered with cream, amaretto, and bits of nuts. It tastes as good as it did since way back in college. I was immediately beaming with delight upon eating a mouthful of this sumptuous dessert.

Eating these desserts just brings back fond memories. =)

Momotaro Bento

Our latest discovery!

MOMOTARO BENTO offers really cheap beer (only P 100 for 3 bottles! But it’s not BBZ) and really cheap food as well. Their bento boxes range from P 120 to P 170 and you’re good to go. They also offer the usual pulutans like sisig and tokwa’t baboy to name a few.

Oh and for every order of a bucket of beer, they give you free pulutan. It’s fried shrimp head. We think these are the left-over heads from the tempura orders since the owner is also the owner of Nihonbashitei.

Momotaro Bento is located along Arnaiz Avenue (Pasay Road), beside El Cielito Inn.
