Yutaka Izakaya, A Hidden Gem

We've been dining at this quaint Japanese restaurant called- Yutaka Izakaya since daughter was still a wee one but I haven't really blogged about it much. I mean, it is such a gem that I still don't want to share it- hahaha. But I know that a lot of foodies out there are already familiar with this restaurant.

And because its almost Christmas, I am sharing my fave Japanese restaurant. :)

California Maki. 12 pcs of goodness costs around P160 and you can order half if you're on a diet. I know I can't eat this anymore since I've stopped eating rice but it used to be my favorite. They don't scrimp on ingredients especially the "tobiko" or the orange fish roe. The maki also has a generous nice tasting Japanese mayo. Skip the soy sauce and wasabi because you don't really need it. Trust me.


Kani Salad. Really good and the kani used doesn't have the "fake" fishy-taste found in cheap kani sticks. Best eaten when its a bit cold. It also has tamago and sweet mango cubes and tabiko. Costs P75.


Katsudon. It has rice underneath and a serving of miso soup. Around P150 if I'm not mistaken. This is  daughter's current fave at Yutaka Izakaya. She likes the generous portion of pork.


Ebi Tempura Set. Aside from the shrimp, it has some tempura veggies also. Costs less than P180.


Seafood Chirashi. Everything is fresh! I especially love the "uni." So sweet and creamy.



Green Tea Ice Cream. A meal is never complete without having dessert. In my case, two orders of green tea ice cream. P60. Delicious green tea goodness. Kids doesn't really like this because of the flavor.

  2. I'm not into Japanese food because I don't eat raw food so I always order, katsu or ebi tempura. The price is not expensive din. :)

    1. Their Green Tea Ice Cream tastes similar to Meiji's Green Tea Ice Cream. But the resto said they order it from a supplier (homemade). - edel

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!
