Katsu Iberico at Tonkatsu by Terazawa

Filipinos are known to enjoy and incorporate pork in almost every dish so its no wonder that there's been a Tonkatsu craze in the country.

Tonkatsu by Terazawa is the brainchild of Japanese chef and restauranteur Akinori Terazawa who vowed to make Tonkatsu like no other when he first opened his first restaurant in Japan. "Tonkatsu is one of the favorite feasts families in Japan indulge and because of that, I took the challenged of making the best Tonkatsu in town."- Chef Terazawa said.

Yabba Yabba Yabu

February 20, 2013

Daughter and I had a spur-of-the-moment dinner plan with C, little C and Uncle Panda today at Yabu in Robinsons Magnolia. So as soon as daughter's class ended today, we were off to Magnolia. Actually, I was dreaming of Thai food but since Uncle Panda haven't tried dining at Yabu (gasp!) yet- and also, because C is treating us (and also as an advance birthday treat to daughter) so we ended up there. Besides, I love the food at Yabu.
