It was that Saturday when malls all over the metro are congested with people who can't get over that Holiday feeling. Unfortunately, we belong. Since Bert requested this meet-up, we took a chance of invading the Mall of Asia in Pasay City, despite the fear of being stuck in horrendous traffic or being fondled amongst a busy mob (that, being exaggerated). Nevertheless, it was a worthwhile try. Among other reasons, it was a special day to ...
We truly missed this guy! We were famished so we thought of going to a place to get rid of those hunger pangs. We chose ...
Tempura Restaurant is one of our favorite eating places. Why? 1. You get authentic Japanese cuisine sans the expensive prices, 2. You'll surely have Japanese rice in every meal, as opposed to some restos who serve normal Pinoy rice and 3. You'll like their ambiance, it's well-lit and cozy, plus I love their logo. Hihi!
What's worth trying? The Kani Salad (Php 115) gave us a good start. This Jap-joint favorite tastes so good, from the delectable combination of iceberg lettuce, Japanese cucumber, kani (crab sticks), topped with tobiko (orange fish roe), down to its' secret, the Japanese mayonnaise. The Caterpillar Roll (Php 140) rocks! It's maki with unagi, mangoes and cream cheese. What a fusion of flavors! I did enjoy what Badz and Abbu ordered, the Kaisen Raisu (Php 130). It's sweet and spicy rice, blended with scallops, cream dory, shrimps, carrots, asparagus and corn. Yummy! It goes well with what Jay-R got, the Spareribs Sansho Yaki (Php 225), grilled pork spareribs, with a special sauce and Japanese pepper. It's little bit salty but definitely satisfying. Jimmy gave 2 thumbs up to his dessert, Coffee Jelly (Php 55)... coffee-flavored gelatin that's right to the bite, then topped with 2 scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream. Burp!
After dinner, we went by the bay and had a couple of beers. My camera battery went dead, but we managed to take a few more shots before it completely went berserk. Nice photos, 'no?

In spite of the unruly crowd, we had so much fun. One piece of advice though ... if you don't wanna experience claustrophobia, avoid going to MOA on a Saturday. :-P
