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

NEW RESTO ALERT: Saigosan in Uptown Mall

Konnichiwa Saigosan! A new and funky izakaya recently opened at Uptown Mall headed by Chef Chris Oronce. This izakaya not only serves delectable dishes but is also a visual-feast. Inspired by animes, mangas, and JPop culture, Saigosan even has a train wherein you can hop from Kyoto to Osaka without a JR Pass! 

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market  is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow! 

NEW RESTO ALERT: Hà Nội Phố (Ha Noi Pho)

Makati has been a go-to place for my family and I to grab a meal or sometimes just to have a cup of coffee. Though, really, it’s mostly just us visiting our favorite spots. Recently, my mom went out of town so it was just my dad and I who went out for dinner.
