Yutaka Izakaya

I discovered this Japanese restaurant by accident. And it turned out to be a very nice discovery. We love the place and the authenticity of the food. We also love the kimono uniform of the waitresses. The male crew wear white shirt and white cloth-and(?) on the forehead.


Agedashi Tofu. Very soft. Be surprised with the moving fish flakes ;)




Udon with shrimp tempura. Good and flavorful broth!




Pork Katsudon. Its a rice-meal. Its good but I prefer seafood. Just wanted to taste this.




California Maki. Winner! Lovely presentation also.




Tempura Set. Veggies and Asuhos Tempura. Yum!

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity! 

RECIPE: TKG's Pan-Grilled Maya-Maya With Calamansi Butter Sauce

I chanced upon some fresh-looking Maya-Maya being sold near my daughter's school today so I bought some. I don't really have a dish in mind when I bought it. Maybe fried, sinigang ... And upon checking the fridge and pantry (no more olive oil), I decided to marinate the fish in calamansi to remove the fishy taste. I pan-grilled the fish being careful not to burn it. Then I minced some garlic, cooked it in butter, added some salt and poured the sauce on top of the fish. And its ready to eat. And oh, I also steamed some cauliflower as a side-dish. Bon appetit!
