I am so happy to discover that Nihonbashi Tei Makati also has a branch in Malate. The Manila branch is brighter, less crowded, has more Japanese clients, and is much closer to home. I just know we’ll be back many, many, many times.
Edamame beans – I wish the beans were seasoned and not boiled in plain water only,
but this doesn’t really stop me from popping them nonstop into my mouth
We’re seated at a long table and everyone does his or her own ordering.
From the oldies side of the table:
Lapu-Lapu Sashimi
Agedashi Tofu
Fried Prawns
Clams
Chicken Teriyaki
Chasho Ramen
My brother is on a diet (or at least he’s TRYING to be) and orders this plate of assorted sushi:
Bo-ring.
Frances and I, on the other hand, are NOT on a diet and we order all these delicious foodsssss to share between us:
Salmon Sashimi – fresh and fatty goodness
Uni Sashimi – creamy and buttery
Toro Spicy Maki – exciting flavors and textures
Unaju – sweet and delicious, always a winner
Miso Soup
And ta-da! Japan Beef Sukiyaki!
Here’s the Japan Beef.
It may not look like much with the not-so-natural colors and freezer burns here and there, but believe me when I say these are the softest, most flavorful slices of beef I’ve had in a while here in Manila. Literally melt in your mouth. Definitely worth the P3,000 price tag.
I am so not sharing my bowl of love ♥
