Toki Q : First Ever Rotating BBQ in the Philippines

-
toki q2

Tonight, I left the office later the usual as I had to attend a work-related event. It's a Friday night and with no other plans for the evening, I invited Paul to join me for late dinner. There's a newly opened restaurant in the neighborhood called Toki Q and I've been excited to try it as I see it every day on my way to work. Finally, it's now open and ready to serve the public.

Toki Q boasts of being the first restaurant in the Philippines using the Rotating BBQ griller. Contrary to traditional grillers, it takes one Yakitori stick 3-5 minutes to grill while others would take more than 10 minutes, give or take. This allows them to serve your order fresh and hot just the way a yakitori should be.

I tried the Combo 2 with Miso soup and Drink (Php. 149). All orders except for the group platters come with Unlimited Rice. This is perfect for office workers looking for a good lunch option nearby. The rice was sticky and fragrant which I like. The Combo 2 comes with a stick of Chicken Balls, Tontoro Pork (Pork Belly), Pork Balls and Chicken Fillet each. Among the four, I loved the Tontoro Pork the most as it was very tender and the coating had a delicious sweet-salty flavor. I would have wanted more of Toki's Special Sauce on my rice!

Paul got the Combo 4 with Miso Soup and Drink (Php. 184) too. His order also came with unlimited rice and 6 pieces of Awesome Chicken Wings! I know it's bad that we have been eating chicken wings but when coated with Toki Special Sauce, it makes it so good to munch on. I love how the meat stays tender and sweet. I highly recommend that you try this. :)

To go with our Combo meals, we also had a stick of Asparagus Wrapped Pork (Php. 28). Not so bad as well.

Paul tried the Toki-Bbq Corn (Php. 48/3 sticks) and gave this his seal of approval. It's covered with some Japanese spicy powder which perked up the taste of the sweet corn.

Lastly, we also had the Kara-age (Php. 75). Deep-fried chicken fillet drizzled with the Toki Special Sauce and served on a paper cone. This makes for a great afternoon snack together with a glass of Milk Tea from the store across. :P

I find the prices really reasonable given that you can have unlimited rice and a full meal for less than Php. 200! They also have Group Platters available which I'm planning to order on my next visit to bring to one of our family dinners.

Visit Toki Q located along Wilson street corner P. Guevarra street, San Juan City. Call them at 425-9867. They accept advance orders and will soon be delivering to nearby areas too. Yahoo!

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...
