There are 2 Nihonbashitei on Pasay Road, the other one is nearer to EDSA, just across the Glorietta Carpark 1 building.

this for me is the better nihonbashitei.

hi guys!

kamusta na kayo?

been out of touch for years.

pareang asmo, pwede sama ako sa binondo food trip? haven't gone out on a good foodtrip with worthy, intelligent foodies for a long time. taena, puro batang ngasngas ang nakakasama ko from another board.

nakaka pagod palang magsasama sa mga barbarong walang taste.

try batangus steaks in metropolitan ave, makati. this is behind savanah, in front of showise pasong tamo cor vito cruz.

the steak is from grass fed batangas cattle. since it's grass fed, the meat has more flavor than the usual corn fed cattle.

althought he down side is the flesh is not as tender. if you don't mind your steaks with more character, try it.

Buhay pa ba Manoza guys?

yup.

same place, but not the same quality.

I've been reading about Dong Bei Dumpling from food blogs. Any FR on this and location, thanks.

backread ka lang ng medyo mahaba, nung nagsisimula ang thread na to, dong bei was all the rage then.

but whe i tried it, i couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. the dumplings were just passable. what i found surprising was that nobody raved about the xiljiang chicken when that was the best dish they served.

not sure if open pa to. i think that it was too much effort to go to this place for the food they served. it's really nothing spectacular.

Even in the juvenile days of my maternal grandma's care, anything fried/oily only came out twice (utmost) per week from our kitchen. Usually foods are steamed, sauteed or boiled. For me it's a matter of taste & eating fried items more than once in successions made me feel like vomiting.

 

As for anything nutty or starchy, my immune system does not have any aversion to those. I still can consume 1-2Klgs of sun-dried unshelled cashew/peanuts per sitting w/o any arthritic reactions. Kaya kapag Kare-kare (w/o bagoong), maski na kalahating medium-size kaldero, maganda ang timpla at huwag lang maalat... uubusin ko yan.

 

Mayroon akong suking turo-turo na nasa public market ng Gapo, Bikolanang magaling magluto ng kare-kare. Mayroon silang p175/order na palayok na katumbas ng 3 standard beer mug ang laman... para sa akin, isang katao lang yan. Ang sangkap nila ay pechay-sitao-kidney beans at ang karne ay Kienchi at sinabayan sa pagluto ang unsalted peanut butter... hanep talaga. At least once a month, dinadalo ko yan.

i envy you, you healthy b@stard. i hope you get to suffer too.

one of the best pulutans i've tried is crispy kuko.

it's a delicacy available in sta. ana.

it's pork feet cooked crispy pata style.

and since it's feet, it's just skin and cartilage. crispy skin, sticky, chewey, melts in your mouth cartilage goes great with beer.

it also actually goes well with rice too.

dipped in a sweet spiced vinegar and soy dipping sauce, heaven.

manila fortune hotel yan sa benavidez.

sabit yan bro. kundi ka chinese, malabo ang kalakaran

ngetpadudels pa mga chick. madumi pa, parang di naliligo.

yup, i don't drink the soup.

i put noodles in it to soak it up at the end, just as 86banger described it.

@86banger

thanks for the info! i always wondered why thick ang dipping sauce sa lotus beef before. i dont think any other place served such a dipping sauce.

guys, please help me naman sa pag-gawa ng special sauce. i usually do it by getting a cup of the broth, mixing it with soy sauce, then mixing in the sate sauce. pero, parang may kulang pa eh. thanks, mga tol!

ako kasi tol, i don't add the broth. just soy based sauce, madaming sate sauce, garlic, konting chilli, spring onions, konting kalamansi or black vinegar and egg yolk.

yung ang sikreto dun tol, yung egg yolk. nagpapalapot ng sauce at kakapit sa sinasawsaw mo and it will make the food more rich.

have anybody tried old chinatown kopitiam?

yup.

panalo!

they serve nonya dishes. its the cuisine of chinese-malays.

nonya food tend to have stronger, more vibrant flavors. for example, their hot and sour soup is hotter and more tart than one served in a hong kong style restaurant.

try the place.

You can still find Dayrit's in front of ABS-CBN and in Fort Bonifactio. Their burger is still good and so is their roast beef sandwich.

yup and meron din sa magallanes.

but no, sadly, the food and the ambiance is not the same. something is missing.

it maybe that i can not relate the memories i have of dayrits with what they are now.

dayrits ham and burger steak circa 70s and 80s.

automat in makati commercial center, and cafe rizal

strangely, available women never really attracted me much, only on occasions.

however, women already taken, are often irressistible for me.

kahit sa beerhouse, kailangan nangaagaw ako ng table ng kabilang mesa, yung table ng may table.

i must be sick.

saan kaya dito sa metro manila merong original iloilo la paz batchoy?

c&n bldg, escoda cor taft ave, in front of pgh, beside the aglipayan church, there is a la paz batchoy restaurant. the most authentic in manila i have tried. it was opened by deco's master cutter. you can't get more original than that.

ang caldo may guinamus.

@hitman, do you have a copy of richard merk's first album? the one which had "they know it's over".

I think that was Coney island I miss their pistachio and bubble gum ice cream iba rin yung texture ng ice cream nila kahit kinagat mo chewy hindi tulad ng mga ice cream ngayon.

yup, coney island.

pero hindi quad, park square yun. yung multi level parking sa tapat ng quad. the shop was besides sanrio pa.

pistachio, strawberry, rhum raisin ang favorite flavors ko dun.

sayang, wala na. nagdeteriorate ang quality when the franchise was locally bought and they started producing the ice cream locally and selling it in supermarkets.

parang kilala ko yang nsa sig mo kung cno ha CH ba ang initial? nga pala napanood ko vid nito meron xa ung nag opening sa nirvana

that is paul weller, better known as the modfather. lead for the jam, and the style council before going solo. oasis credits him as their biggest influence. the gallagher bros jam and record in his studio.

Ba, Oo nga. Kamakailan lamang may nagbigay sa akin ng 1 buong Chicken Pie sa office at ng tinanong ko kung saan galing, sabi niya UNO sa Escolta. Kamot ulo tuloy ako dahil ang natandaan ko wala namang UNO diyan eh. Yung Chicken Pie ng Salazar bakery dati, masarap talaga. Pero etong galing UNO... ok din!

 

Madalaw nga this weekend. Btw, matagal ng wala ang Wah Yuen sa tapat ng Landmark Mkti (nasunog). Saan kaya sila napadpad? Anyone??

luk yuen yung tapat ng landmark brader.

di ko rin alam kung meron pa sila sa makati, greenhills na ko nagpupunta to get a taste of their noodles.

pag makati northpark na pinupuntahan eh.
