YAKINIKU

last friday, april 13, i met up with my highschool classmates and had a mini reunion. this mini reunion is the cebu chapter. there is also a davao chapter since we're all from davao. lovely, who is a nurse by profession in the US, who hails from dumaguete, wanted for us to meet and catch up with what's going on with our lives. so, it was joan who made a reservation at Yakiniku Japanese Resto, located at Panagdait, Mabolo, Cebu City. Yakiniku offers an "eat-all-you-can" dinner for Php 500.00 only!!! i was stressed out knowing this because japanese cuisine is my favorite! so, what will happen to my DIET?! hahaha... well, i just told myself that this day will be my cheat day, bihira lang naman ito! chos! hahahaha! so, i feasted on what's on the menu until magsawa ako, kiver! hahaha...here's the ganap at Yakiniku. :)

l-r : joan, rojun, lovely and myself

oh yes, all of us feasted on our favorite dish on the menu. by the way, Yakiniku only serves the eat-all-you-can dish only until 10pm. so the last order would be at 9:30pm. alam mo yung you want to make sulit what you paid for, so order ka ng order kahit busog ka na! hahahahaha... spell gluttony! hahaha... aminin natin, mahal ang jap dish sa pilipinas.. eh dito, Php 500.00 lang, eat-all-you-can-pa... so, mamimihasa ka talaga! chos! hahahaha... so, walang humpay na order ang ganap! hahaha... here are the dishes that we savored. :)

green salad with mango and fish roe

for this salad, i didnt get to try it kasi naloka ako sa kapal ng mayonnaise nya! hahahah... parang sobra2x ang calories, kaloka! hahaha :) lovely tried this and she said it was good daw... :)

beef strips

this beef strips is one of my favorite! i just forgot the particular name of this beef, its not wagyu beef. ay ewan, basta tinawag ko na lang na beef strip. super malasa ito, i like to cook this medium rare, sarap! :) ... masarap din yung ox tongue, di ko na nakunan ng pic pero a must try din yun. :)

shrimp with sesame seeds

i dont know the title for this shrimp dish kasi di naman din ako mahilig sa shrimp... so, dineadma ko sya but i took a pic for blog purposes... hahaha... i dont know ha, while some are nanggigigil at nasasarapan ng shrimp, for me its just "ok"... i dont like peeling off its soft shell kasi nakakatagal ng kain! hahaha... that's the reason why im not fond of shrimp, and that goes the same with crabs. lol :)

nagirizushi - one of my fave!

i like nagirizushi but my fave topping is the salmon but here in yakiniku, hindi pwede na puro salmon ang nagirizushi mo, dapat variety. so, eto yun. i must give it to them, mahal kasi ang salmon... so wag magambisyon na sa Php 500.00 eh puro na salmon ang maoorder mo! hahaha :)

ramen

i dont like this ramen! with conviction yan na pagkasabi ha! hahaha... why? coz they just use fresh noodles for this dish, nakakaloka! di ko ini-expect per totoo, may ka-cheapang nagaganap dito! hahahaha :).. basta, di ko ito bet, yun lang! :)

the pics below will show you the interior design of Yakiniku. click on the pics to have a bigger view. :)

one of my dreams is to become a chef. so, may i practice my cooking skills here! oh diba? hahaha... super aliw ako sa vent na ito na himihigop ng usok, parang canyon ang setting nya! hahahaha... click on the pics to have a bigger view. :)

so, after we ordered non-stop and loaded ourselves with tons of food, we called it a night! hahaha... we used the back door for our exit and to my surprise, ito ang tumambad sa amin! hahahaha... sana di gawing sampayan ang lugar... ang dumi, eeeewwww! its obviously a clutter of different things, kaloka! hope the management will do something about this coz its really an eye sore! :(

anyways, from a scale of 1-10, i'll rate this jap resto a 7. customer service is mabagal, you have to shout  for the waitress to hear you... hahaha... malinis naman sa loob, in fairness... dapat lang na kung gaano kalinis sa loob eh ganun din kalinis sa labas, naman! lol :) ... i would still recommend that you try this resto. kunga malakas kau kumain, try nyo dito, as in! :) .. for reservations, just call the number you see on the pic below. :)

tight hugs,
