Let me take you to experience why Joey of "Friends" love pizza, why the Michael Angelo of the TMNT craves for pizza, and why pasta is always served wherever you are in the world.

Yurakuen : Teppanyaki at its finest

Yurakuen : Manila Diamond Hotel's Teppanyaki Gem

In Manila, only quite a few places in the metro serve fresh cooked Teppanyaki treats and the best is found here at Manila Diamond Hotel's Yurakuen.

Teppanyaki (鉄板焼き teppan-yaki) is a style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to cook food. The word teppanyaki is derived from teppan (鉄板), which means iron plate, and yaki (焼き), which means grilled, broiled or pan-fried. In Japan, teppanyaki refers to dishes cooked using an iron plate, including steak, shrimp, okonomiyaki, yakisoba, and monjayaki.

Modern teppanyaki grills are typically propane-heated flat surface grills, and are widely used to cook food in front of guests at restaurants.

Upon setting foot at Yurakuen, you feel like you have been transported to Tokyo, with all the Japanese designs, architecture and of course servers in full Japanese Kimono costume, seems like we are indeed in for a Japanese treat! 

Have a Taste of '76 at Manila Peninsula's 35th Anniversary

“Taste of ’76” Old Manila Anniversary Menu

First opened in 1976, Old Manila has metamorphosed through the years from a 19th century-inspired restaurant with a comedor (dining room) and capiz shell-inlaid windows and wooden balustrades from when Manila was a Spanish royal city, to its present interiors of Philippine moderne and artwork by noted Filipino artist Impy Pilapil. 

Taking for his inspiration an original menu from 1976, Old Manila Chef de Cuisine Samuel Linder will create a selection of various anniversary specials of traditional influence and modern innovation which can enjoyed at incredible 1976 prices!

It will be available from September 1 – 30, 2011.

Curb your cravings for Yakiniku at Tanba Buffet

I recently went to Malate in Manila to look for something to eat, thinking with so many tourists here, there should be a lot of good Japanese and Korean restaurants here.  Yeah, I'm a fanatic of Japanese food.  And so as I was passing by Adriatico, I noticed a sign Tanba Buffet, and I remembered seeing this on Facebook as recommended by my friend who recently tried it.  So I said why not give it a try.

Tanba Buffet is located as part of a hotel along Adriatico St., ample parking space and best of all no parking fee hehe, it was quite an inviting sight even though it was pouring rain that night.

So this is the buffet area, hmmm.... at first sight, I felt that it was such a small buffet area, but as I went through with the buffet items for Yakiniku, they were more than enough.
