Mayo Uno At Yutaka Izakaya

Even if we've already dined here on more than several occassions, I'd still eat here than dine at the Japanese-inspired restos inside the malls. I recommended this restaurant to the first gathering of Astro Foodies. Also, the food here is not that expensive and is authentic Japanese. In fact, if I remember correctly, this resto is owned by a Japanese guy and his Filipina wife.

We ordered tons of food since we're a big group and here are some of the photos.

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!

And if there's something positive that happened in our new normal, I'd say that most people (including me) have discovered the simple joys of spending more time in the kitchen. Here's my take on a classic brownie recipe made special with Cointreau.
