    Kumori: Japanese baked goods review

    Blueberry Brioche and Hanjuku Cheese (Original) were two items that I first tried at Kumori. There’s a Kumori store in the lower ground floor of Landmark Makati, and if you want to try some heavenly spongy-but-melt-in-your-mouth cheesecakes, you know where to go. 😉

    A couple of months later, I also tried Kumori’s “Tofu Cheese”.

    Hatsu Hana Tei: perfect for heavy authentic Japanese meal in Makati

    Hungry and craving for Japanese food? A heavy meal of Japanese food is waiting for you at Hatsu Hana Tei. It’s at the second floor of Herald Suites in Chino Roces Avenue, Makati City.

    Japanese foods weren’t my favorite… until now. 🙂 Just this year I found myself craving for more and more Japanese food. I’m lucky to be working near Family Mart stores (tonkatsu maki, futo maki, california maki, onigiri, noodles, etc) and Little Tokyo (authentic Japanese restaurants).

    Last week, I told my friends at the office that I wanted us to eat lunch at Tokyo Tokyo. Friend “G” was up for the idea, but friend “C” told me he’s sick of foods at Tokyo Tokyo and wanted to eat ramen elsewhere. “G” said that the ramen place that “C” was suggesting was too expensive, and so she suggested Hatsu Hana Tei at CHino Roces Avenue, just in front of Little Tokyo, because food there is sulit (great value for money). About 300 pesos could get us a set meal with a generous serving.

    And she was right. Even the one-bowl rice meals were too much even for our male friends to handle. 😉
