For Cheap yet Delectable Japanese Food, Try Tokyo Joe in SM

Tokyo Joe in SM (ground floor) is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants mainly because it serves considerably cheaper but delicious food. This restaurant has sort of become one of my go to places, especially after having a haircut. Getting a haircut is always a harrowing experience to me, no matter how many times I’ve already done it. Rhea usually comes with me, mostly for moral support. We agree that Tokyo Joe is one of our favorite places so afterwards we always go there—me, to reward myself for my bravery and either to celebrate if my haircut turned out okay and Rhea, because she conveniently has a craving for ramen or any Japanese food. Moral support, see?

Anyway, I went back there yesterday with my niece because it was the first time that she showed interest in eating in a place other than Jollibee or McDonald's.

Go International with KFC’s New Rice Bowls Offerings

To those who are fond of KFC, or to those who simply want budget yet tasty meals, KFC’s latest Rice Bowls offerings would probably come as a welcome surprise. Not only are the dishes scrumptilicious, one serving is also enough to fill you up, making it worth your money. So aside from the usual fares, you now have additional meals to choose from when dining at KFC.

Ramen Hunt: At Ajigen Japanese Restaurant

Ramen is one of the best foods to have not only on rainy and cold days but also when you need a pick-me-up (it’s right up there with chocolate and ice cream). Fortunately, authentic Japanese ramen is not hard to come by these days as you can see Japanese restaurants almost everywhere. One of these restaurants is Ajigen Japanese Restaurant in AS Fortuna, situated between EastWest Bank and Oftana Hotel. You’ll probably miss this cosy place if you don’t look closely or if you’re not looking for it specifically. 

At Waffle Island Coffee Shop

After work last night, Rhea and I went to Country Mall for some groceries. We passed by the new waffle place on the second level of the mall's right wing that we promised ourselves we'd try one day. I can't remember what the place used to be, but now there stands there a waffle place, called Waffle Island Coffee Shop, that looks homey enough you'd want to invite yourself in. They have this poster outside the shop.

Another Dinner at KFC with Rhea Mae

Last night, because my minor case of cold made me crave for something hot and spicy, acidity problem be damned, Rhea (one of my office gal pals) and I went looking at the menus of the different restaurants near our office. But since our dinner was not planned, I did not want to spend more than Php200 on a single serving of soup that was on the menu of the rather pricey Japanese and Korean restaurants we checked out. Instead, we ended up at KFC, ordering their Chicken Burger Steak, which we told ourselves we would try the next time we went there. For Php50 inclusive of drinks, the food is okay for both your tummy and your wallet (if you are on a tight budget).

An Impromptu Dinner with the Girls at Chosun Galbi

Last Wednesday, my girl friends at the office decided to have dinner at a Korean restaurant since it was payday. I don't really dig Korean food, but I decided to tag along for the company. We went to a place called Chosun Galbi in AS Fortuna. The place is spacious so you won't have to worry about bumping into chairs or other diners if you want to get up and move around.
