Affordable Jap Food: Suzu-kin

Yesterday, I was craving for some Japanese Tempura. And my friend Ivan took me to this place in Mandaluyong called Suzu-kin. Good Japanese food with veeery reasonable prices :)

6 pieces of Medium Tempura for only P146.00

If you want this with rice and miso soup it goes up to P200.00

Still not bad.










And the controversial California Maki. It's a crowd favorite.

12 pieces for only P100.00




We also ordered, Chicken Teppanyaki. I enjoyed munching on it with my Fried Rice. Most of the dishes there are P200.00 max but of course you'd have to pay extra for the Fried Rice. But I assure you it's very much worth it.

My total bill was around P600.00 which includes the 6-piece Tempura bowl (I left two pieces untouched, I was so busod with the fried rice), 2 fried rice (I think they use bowls to determine 1 cup of rice because the rice was very hard to finish), 1 order of california maki, chicken teppanyaki, diet coke and mineral water. I think a person with a normal appetite would be able to satisfy his/her hunger with our left overs. Haha

Don't kill me, I forgot to get their number. But good news to Makati people, their original branch is in Kamagong area.

Suzu-kin Makati

9753 Kamagong cor. Sampaloc St., San Antonio Village Makati City

They don't accept card in the Makati branch but in Mandaluyong they do.

To go to their Mandaluyong branch, check out the map below.

From Shaw Blvd, you have to go in A. Mabini (the street beside PC Express building), follow the road, make a left turn to Ortega st. Follow the street until you reach a stoplight. You make a left turn down to Luna Mencias. less than 500 meters from the stoplight, Suzu-kin would be on your right. It's a small place. Barely noticeable, beside a covered garage.

Bon Appetit!

Piz Awt!

Lime88 Pinoy Street food with a Twist

My bf introduced me to this restaurant in Mandaluyong and immediately fell in love with the food! :D

I loved it enough to spend my birthday there! Haha Uber cheap shots and drinks.

I'm going to run down some of my favorite dishes in Lime88. Be prepared to drool :D

1. Tempura Quail Eggs

2. The Nachooo (that looks like hat in person)

3. Baked Oysters with Cheese on Top

4. Chicken Breast with Kangkong and Kesong Puti

5. Osso Bucco Kare-Kare

Thank You Lime88 (Facebook) for the pictures. Whenever I'm there I forget to take pictures because I always eat up everything once they hit the table. I promise you the next time I visit, I'll take pictures especially of my favorite, Four Cheese Pizza. (I just had to wipe my drool after saying that.)

For only P1,000.00 you can feed about 4 people. Not bad! But I have to warn you they don't accept plastics.

You can call this number 02-5337515 for reservations or other inquiries.

Below is how you get there. Thank you googlemaps!

From the Mandaluyong Circle, you take Boni Avenue (the one which has Sto. Rosario as it's first block). You're landmark there would be a Tapa King. As you can see, go straight up. Two streets after Sto. Rosario is San Rafael already. Look for a street marker, San Rafael. Don't look for Hortaleza na, there's a new salon there already.
