Japanese Food Fest : Teriyaki Boy!

-
My craving for Japanese food lasted for the entire month of February!

Starting from the yummy Japanese burger and Katsudon dinner at Sango! followed by a laid-back sushi bonding with friends at Omakase, we ended the love month with a relaxed casual Japanese dinner at Teriyaki Boy.

We arrived early for dinner but the place was packed! Luckily, the friendly server was able to get us a nice table for two.

Our Teriyaki Boy Feast

We are regular patrons of Teriyaki Boy and it wasn't difficult for us to choose the dishes that we would like to get in every visit. For this particular meal, I was craving for sushi once again.

We zeroed in on the Tempura Tuna Tartare (Php. 135). We were hoping that this will be similar to the Spicy Tuna Salad that we enjoyed at Omakase. Teriyaki Boy's version was not spicy at all. While it consists of tuna sashimi cubes, I felt though that they added in way too much tempura bits that made the entire thing oily. We should have just gotten a plate of sashimi to be able to satisfy our raw fish craving.

The next dish was my favorite. Similar to my undying love for Katsudon, I also always make it a point to order a plate of California Maki (Php. 125 for 8 pieces) whenever I can. I love the mix of sweet mangoes, cucumber and crabstick all rolled into one with rice and Japanese nori sheet and sprinkled with crunchy orange ebiko! I love dipping this into my wasabi-soy sauce before popping the entire piece into my mouth. Yum!

We were feeling a bit full already with our two appetizers that we just ordered a basket of Cream Dory Tempura (Php. 125) to share. I also got a bowl of my favorite Yakimeshi to go with it. I love fish tempura especially one that is fresh, tender and flavorful. This is a perfect dish to order this Lenten season too!

I've mentioned here how much I love fried rice and a visit to Teriyaki Boy will never be complete without a bowl of Yakimeshi Rice (Php. 48). I just feel that TBoy's rice was a tad too oily also for my liking. Nothing still beats that bowl of Yakimeshi rice cooked on a Teppanyaki table that I used to enjoy as a kid.

Teriyaki Boy is definitely a fun casual dining place for friends and family who are looking for good Japanese dishes. Our other favorite dishes include their Tofu Steak, Gyoza, Teriyaki Chicken Boy Donburi, Chawan Mushi and their Seafood Teppanyaki. Do try their cold tea that goes well with any dish!

Teriyaki Boy is located at the Ground Floor of the Greenhills Promenade, Greenhills Commercial Center in San Juan. It has more than 20 branches nationwide. Contact them at 725-3355 (Promenade branch).

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
