Revisiting Tokyo Bubble Tea

I've blogged about Tokyo Bubble Tea in an earlier post.   I've mentioned that their menu has a wide range of goodies . . .so my Sister and I thought of going back to the place again so we can explore more of what they offer.

It was another brunch date so just like last time, we didn't order any rice dishes (yep, this is not the last time you'll hear about this place from me, haha!)

We ordered Chicken Lollipop Korokke - Chicken Lollipop and Potato croquette fusion with honey mustard dip (Php 165)

It looks better than it tastes

The last time we went there, we had the Chizu-Maki (a fried appetizer too) . . . and it was my least favorite. Same thing for this visit. . . I didn't like this AT ALL!  They were bland and they were cold inside (I felt they were frozen and were fried rather quickly) . . . I therefore conclude. . .no more fried appetizers next time, haha!

We also ordered the  Nippon Ebi - Panko breaded prawn topped with mango on melted mozzarella cheese (Php 285)

I have to say that I love, love Makis (except for those which have raw stuff in it). . . So yes, I enjoyed this one.  This is good and can be eaten even without dipping it in soy sauce.  But I love my wasabi and pickled ginger, so I always do!  Heehee

We got this Okonomiyaki as a freebie from the BPI promo - it is a batter wrapped around meat and vegetables topped with Japanese mayo, pickled ginger and bonito flakes.  Love this too!  

Okonomiyaki - (Php 215)

And our most favorite among all the things we ordered. . . .the Japanese Caesar Salad!  They call it "Caesar Salad" but they actually use Sesame Dressing for this salad (made up of Romaine lettuce, pan-fried chicken, mango and grapes.)  I love the smoky flavor that comes from the chicken and it goes well with everything else.  I can eat this everyday!  

Japanese Caesar Salad - Php 195

There is really so much to choose from this place. . .that it deserves another visit from us, haha!

But not this weekend. . . as I am headed to a food paradise!

Will be blogging about it sooonnn! =)

A New Fave: Tokyo Bubble Tea

It's Monday . . . Again!  I know. . . we can't wait for the weekend. . . Again!  Haha!

I had a really nice family bonding time over the weekend.  No, we didn't go somewhere special nor did anything out of the ordinary.  It was just really nice to have spent MORE time with two people I miss . . .My little Princess (Ate) and my dear younger sister!   

My Saturday afternoon with Ate (and Barney!  Haha!) was full of singing and dancing, tickles and giggles and ice cream!  

Yesterday, I went on a date with my sister!  I really miss our dates . . .I don't know how many movies we've planned to see but missed because I'm just busy with taking care of the kids.  So after going to Church, we made time for us. =)  Our dates make up two things . . . food and window shopping!  Okay, sometimes (or is it most of the times?) we give in, haha!

For brunch, we thought of going to Tokyo Bubble Tea which her bestfriend was raving about.  Since I was craving for some Takoyaki balls and she loves to drink milk teas, it would be the perfect place for us to try.

We weren't really hungry so we just ordered the following:

Kani Salad - Php 135

Value for Money!  Big serving, it's good for 2-3 people, they didn't scrimp on the ingredients and on the Japanese Mayo!

Takoyaki Balls (8 pcs) - Php 175

They are okay, I guess I was thinking dreaming of the Takoyaki Balls I had in LA . . . but these are still better as compared to the other Takoyaki Balls I had locally.

Chi-Zu Maki - Php 135

My least favorite, haha!  I  find it a bit dry.  But my sister liked it though.  It's breaded chicken roll with melted cheese filling.

Roasted Garlic Mushroom Spaghetti - Php 255

It looks simple but it's actually filling.  I think it needs a little more salt and I was looking for a stronger garlicky taste.  But it's still okay, I can order this one again.   

Mocha Shake (Php 145) for Sis
and Honeydew Melon Milk Tea (Php 125) for Me

OMG choosing our drinks was overwhelming, they have a looottt to offer!  Everything looked good!  We're glad we ordered these two.  Both were good, but we love, love the Mocha shake!  It was super thick!  I'll come back for this!

Did I say we weren't hungry??! HAHAHA!!!

Oh and we availed BPI's promo.  When you spend Php 1,000, you get a free Okonomiyaki (it's a Japanese savory pancake which is made up of meats, vegetables topped with Japanese mayo and red ginger)

No we didn't eat it!  Promise!  We just took it home . . . for dinner!  Heehee

Tokyo Bubble Tea has a wide range of menu.  They have appetizers, pastas, burgers and sandwiches, Makis/Sushi/Sashimi, Entrees and Donburis.  It's so wide that we are going back to try more of their food!
