Tokyo Tokyo’s Donburi Festival: Tofu Steak Donburi and Cheesy Pork Katsu

        Fresh off my Prawn Tempura Hangover from International Tempura day, I set my sights on some of the newer items of Tokyo Tokyo’s menu, particularly their Donburi Meals! I couldn’t help but notice that there are two new dishes on Tokyo Tokyo’s that are not only affordable, but will also satisfy the cravings of the most ravenous carnivore and,  for those that are looking for lighter fare, without sacrificing on taste!

          I have made no secret for my love of Chinese food, with dishes like Sweet and Sour Pork and Salt and Pepper Spareribs among my favorites. I'm always on the look out for an amazing Chinese restaurant, so when I visited Bonifacio Stopover a few months ago and saw the restaurant "Yumchee Premium Chinese Food" under construction, I was immediately intrigued. 

      Months later, when it finally opened, I was fortunate enough to receive an invite for me and my friends from The KTG to be among the first to try this new restaurant, there was no way I could say no! 

     And thankfully so, because we may have found the most "Bang for the Buck" restaurant in BGC! 

PUREFOODS CORNED BEEF: DELICIOUS FOOD MADE EASY!

        No joke, but Purefoods is our go-to breakfast food. Whether it’s bacon or any of their canned goods, it’s always our ever dependable quick meal. Truthfully, it’s not even just breakfast. It’s our to go food when we don’t have time to prepare anything more tedious to cook. Or if we want to eat something and our stomachs are not willing to wait, but you’re looking for something fulfilling at the same time, opening up a can is the best solution.

     Though its canned, it’s very versatile, allowing you to get creative with the simplest of ingredients. It’s easy to play around with and turn it into spectacular-looking dishes in very easy steps.

So easy that I did this one myself. Being a person who doesn’t cook, that’s saying something!

National Tempura Day Promo at Tokyo Tokyo!

                              

        What is it about Tempura, that everyone seems to go crazy over it. I always say, go to a buffet, and you’ll see even the most timid of people fight for the last piece of tempura. The tempura station usually has a line as long – or sometimes even longer – than the carving station! And even when they dump in a new batch, within seconds, you can be guaranteed that it’ll be all gone.  

        Being a Picky eater, I normally don’t eat dishes with shrimp or prawn. Just to avoid a lengthy discussion, I would tell people that I’m allergic to it. But when there’s Tempura, all bets are off.  It’s funny, because whenever we go to a Japanese restaurant, my wife and I would fight over the Tempura. She’ll stop and say, “Hey, aren’t you ALLERGIC to Shrimp?”  I would simply tell her, “ Oh no, my doctor said that the Japanese Breadcrumbs neutralizes the toxic agent that triggers my allergies.

Which is usually met with the roll of the eyes by my wife.
