Tsuru's Volcano Roll + Baked Seafood Dynamite Roll

Volcano Roll: 
"A fiery roll of salmon, spicy onions, spicy oil and mayo fried to perfection and finished with two of Tsuru's special sauces."

I will never ever get enough of this one. Ever. The presentation itself is drool-worthy. The taste is first rate! I could feel the sexual tension between the spaces of my teeth at every grind of this one haha. Its freshness, sweetness, juiciness and the tinge of spice at every bite would justify why it's called "Volcano Roll".The combination of the flavors explode every time between the palate and lustful taste buds of my mouth!



Baked Seafood Dynamite Roll
"Maki topped with scallops, kani, spring onions and spicy dynamite sauce baked to perfection."

It was my first time trying this one! Every piece was savory, and the taste exceeded my expectations. Well... I maybe had a little "This looks reaaaally delicious this must really taste good" mindset the first second the dish was served on our table, ready to be guzzled by my greedy-for-maki appetite!

Miko's Brew: Miko's Sandwich



It was my first time to order Miko's Sandwich from Miko's Brew last week. It was one morning where i was procrastinating on our rotational case study and my mind wasn't really working with nada glucose to munch on, so I decided that maybe a bite or more of one of Miko's Brew's specialties with the bonus of the place' lovely ambiance will cure my oh-I-only-have-a-few-hours-left-before-our-case-study-presentation-and-I-haven't-mastered-my-part-yet-and-Im awfully-procrastinating-this-isn't-working-!!!! kind of feeling.

Miko's Sandwich consisted of:

wheat bread
cucumber
lettuce
a layer of tuna mayonnaise

wheat bread
egg
a layer of chicken (Im not so sure~ I was so hungry whether it was chicken or tuna mayo I wouldn't care for hell anymore) mayonnaise

wheat bread
bacon slices
another layer of mayonnaise
 wheat bread

+ a handful of crunchy chips

I also tried their Chocolate Macadamia milk tea. It's a must try!

Tori Grill's Japanese Experience: BBQ Style!

My love for Japanese cuisines just boomed from 100x to idk, maybe 99999x better?

Since Filipinos are known to commonly sear their dishes with a bit of charring here and there, Tori Grill's legit way of letting us experience affordable BBQ cuisines in Japanese style has got this city grilled up!


What I ordered:
Meal 6 which includes:
5 skewers of my choice + rice
I also ordered an additional bowl of miso soup, salad, and one glass of iced tea

Here is Meal 6!! What I liked about their presentation (aside from the fact that their barbeques looked so delicious I was actually sad the sticks were not edible), was that their rice had a dust of Tori Karaage (chicken bites) on top!



The 5 Skewers I ordered were:
(From top left to right, to bottom left to right)

Negima (chicken thigh with scallion)
Butabura (pork belly)
Tsukune (chicken meatballs)
Uzura bacon (quail egg wrapped with bacon)
Aspara Bacon (asparagus wrapped with bacon)- my favorite!!

Additional orders:

Torikawa (chicken skin)- my favorite!!
 Sunagimo (gizzard)

 What I loved about their BBQ was the taste of the seasoning was evident in every bite! Everything else was soft, juicy, and just plain delicious! I swear, while I was chewing I could just imagine closing my eyes and feel the sensation of the meat rolling through my teeth!


PS. The serving is quite smaller than you think, esp for barbeque bums like myself, but you can always order an additional plate or two!

Fatski: Durian Mini Cheesecake


Just before my duty, my friend introduced me to try this place. As some of you may know already, based on my previous posts, I'm not much of a sweet tooth, but I guess I have finally grown a piece or two!




I ordered their Durian mini cheesecake as to-go because I had my graveyard shift in about an hour or thirty minutes. For 115P, I did not actually expect this to taste really really really good! Tbh, I wasn't sure what to order because everything looked so tempting, but I gave in to my guts (and for my love of Durian) to order this, and boy, my guts were right!

There is a right balance of the cheese's sweetness with the Durian's dominant taste, and the graham base below just made the whole thing soft with a bit of crunch at every bite.


They also sell lots of goodies and offer more cakes and desserts!
